[2.3] Installing MSSQL Server Exoress 2005 on a Dedi-windows 2003

[hershire]

Heyas , i keep getting an error right before it instals the database services.
Googled the error and it says the setup file needs to be placed n a directory named SQLServer2005 and in a sub folder named Servers.

Tried that and it still won't seem to work, my first time dealing with a fresh dedi host is there perhaps some permission i should have enabled or something?

Any help is muchly appreciated ty again.

sec just did a reboot of the server and a message popped up something about Data Execution Prevention, so i clicked allow windows programs and services , and requires a reboot

now just waiting to see after this reboot god i hope it works lol!

Seems they didn't actually do a complete wipe the glue bag formatted and restored all the same settings that were preventing me from installing lol! good thing he refunded days for my downtime else i would've skidded them. Anyways their installing a fresh version of windows 2008 R2 mainly because this way they won't be able to restore lol ( I'm sneaky )
