I've am trying to install SQL 2008 Dev Edition on my Windows XP SP2 PC, But intallation always failing with the below error, '' is not a valid login or you do not have permission. i have tried in multiple time and tried installing from Administrator account as i've read it some posts, but no luck yet. can someone help me out to fix this issue
Do you mean Windows XP SP3? But, Requiremnts says Windows XP SP2 itself enough for installing SQL 2008
To be exact this is the info i get when i click help on the error details Details Product:SQL Server ID:15007 Source:MSSQLServer Version:8.0 Component:SQL Engine Message:The login '%s' does not exist. Explanation You have passed a nonexistent login to a system stored procedure that is expecting a valid login. User Action Reissue the stored procedure call with a valid login for the parameter.
you can use one of the default user acoounts: system or network from the combo box during installation and assign that account for all services. only you have to add an account for administration , and also you can select it from winows user account with administration rights.
I'm using my account to install sql 2008,I'm having admin rights on the system, But still the installation fails
Can you look at the setup log and find where this is generating, find that stored procedure or code used.
I also have this problem. However i have Win XP (Home) SP3. I the log the text reads: Error: 15007, Severity: 16, State: 1.
