APPLIES TO
- Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1
SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You have a computer that is running a Microsoft Windows operating system. You install the release version of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on the computer. Then, you upgrade the Windows operating system, or you install a Windows service pack. In this scenario, you receive an error message that resembles the following when you install SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1 (SP1):
CAUSE
This problem occurs because SQL Server 2005 SP1 cannot find the original SqlmgmproviderOSINFO
.mof file.
Note OSINFO
is a placeholder for information that varies for the operating system and for the operating system service pack. For example, on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003, this file is the Sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof file.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
- Start to install the release version of SQL Server 2005.
- On the Installing Prerequisites page, click Next when the installation of the SQL Server 2005 Setup Support Files is complete.
- On the next page, click Cancel.
After you follow these steps, you can install SQL Server 2005 SP1.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
MORE INFORMATION
When you upgrade the Windows operating system or when you install a Windows service pack, the installation process replaces the original SqlmgmproviderOSINFO
.mof file by using a new SqlmgmproviderOSINFO
.mof file. The file name of the new SqlmgmproviderOSINFO
.mof file differs from the file name of the original SqlmgmproviderOSINFO
.mof file.
