Error Installing SQL Server Express 2008: '' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.

I have tried installing SQL Server 2008 multiple times on my machine, and I always receive this error about 3/4 of the way through: '' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.
I have tried installing both SQL Server Express 2008 with Tools and SQL Server Express 2008 with Advanced Services, and they both fail the same way. I am trying to do a new stand-alone installation.
I'm running Windows XP Home Edition SP3.
Looking into the error, some forums say I have to install it from THE Administrator account, and not an account with administrator permissions; it also cannot be in Safe Mode, because then the Windows Installer won't work. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to login to the Administrator account. I can go to the home login screen, do ctrl+alt+del twice, and attempt to login to the Administrator account, but I receive this error: Unable to Log You on because of an Account Restriction.
Other forums say that in the Server Configuration section, all you have to do is provide the username and a strong password from an administrative account on the computer, and it doesn't have to be THE Administrator. Well, I did that, but for some reason it doesn't recognize my username and password, it says something like "The credentials you provided for the SQL Server Agent are invalid". BUT THOSE ARE THE CORRECT CREDENTIALS FOR MY ADMINISTRATIVE USER! So I'm forced to use one of the accounts without a password, like NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. That's the only way I can get past this step.
Also, just FYI, on the next step, which is Database Engine Configuration, I am using Mixed Mode for the Security Mode. I AGAIN provide a password, and then add my current user (who IS an administrator on my machine!) to the SQL Server Administrators box.
But yet, it fails every single time.
This is pathetic and ridiculous. I must have tried to install this thing 15 times, that is not an exaggeration. I'm posting this on several other forums as well, maybe an MVP or Bill Gates himself can help me.
I have one of the log files from a failed installation. If someone would like to see it, I will post it.

Don't hesitate to post again for more help or explanations
Have a nice day
PS : if you are talking about the Sql Server Agent Service, it is disabled for Sql Server Express. It is enabled only for the Workgroup/Standard/Dev and Entreprise Editions
Sorry, but I've tried the suggestion in that link, and it hasn't helped me.
For anyone wonder, the link is talking about the problem in Server Configuration where I enter my Windows user account and password (which is in the Administrative group), but it says the credentials are invalid. The link suggests that you need to either enter your Windows account (which I did, and it wouldn't let me go to the next step), or to use one of the built in accounts (which I also tried, but it gave me the " '' is not a valid login" error during the installation).
Any other ideas?
I haven't had any answers from any other forums either, so I'll just post my log file in case anyone wants to look at this:

Unable to install SQL Server Express 2008 R2 - Errors "Failed to retrieve data for this request"

As domain admin I am attempting to install "SQL Server 2008 R2 with SP2" but it keeps failing with "Failed to retrieve data for this request".
The installation never actually starts, it errors before then.
It displays the same error even if I run the System Configuration Checker.
The summary.txt for the install displays the following text:

Above message says that your registry is not consistent and some of the parameters are missing from registry.Or
Account installing SQL server does not have permission to access this. I think case can be here that account with which you logged into your system to install SQL Server might not have certain privileges. Can you take help
of domain admin account add it as a local administrator in this machine always right click on setup file and select run as administrator. Before this make sure you remove all SQL Server components from add remove program

Overlapped I/O error installing SQL Server Express 2014 on Win 8.1

Hi,
I'm attempting to install SQL2014 on a SurfacePro3 running Win 8.1. Despite much searching I've not found anything that gets me past this problem.
I've tried:
Uninstalling a update KB2918614 which was highlighted as a potential issue
The login is the only account on the machine (not networked)
Used "Run as Administrator"
Even tried setting up a new User Account not linked to MS
Run from the SETUP.EXE in the extracted files (with "Run As Admin")
The Summary log is below:

Error Installing SQL Server Express 2014 Advanced with Tools (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe) Missing "cc8246.msi"

My system passed every element of the: "System Configuration Checker" but the installation process encountered an error when it got to the: "C:\windows\installer\cc8246.msi" file. The Microsoft Help service didn't have any information
on the error code. I did some checking and the file (cc8246.msi) isn't on my computer. I did search the ZIP and CAB files, too. I did a search on Microsoft.com, MSDN, Microsoft downloads, BING, and Google. None of the searches turned
up anything. I even tried looking for "cc8246.ms_" and "cc8246" on each search site. I wasn't able to find anything on this file.
I looked in my nightly system backup files, too. It wasn't in my "U:\Nightly Backup\windows\installer\" folder and a search of the backup drive revealed nothing, too. (I keep copies of deleted and updated files for 60 days.)
Apparently, I need this file to install this version of SQL Server. Does anyone have any information on this file or where I can get a copy of it?
ValiantSon

Below should help in identifying the missing cc8246.msi file from windows installer folder. You need to identify which component this
belongs and copy that from the SQL Server setup and rename it to this file.

SQL Server Express 2008 Installation error. PLEASE HELP.

Hey guys anyone know what I should do to install SQL Server Express 2008?
Im running Vista Home Premium SP1 32bit
These are folders i got on framework folder:
    *      v3.5
    *      v3.0
    *      v2.0.50727
    *      v1.1.4322
    *      v1.0.3705
Installing SQL Server 2008 Express (run time only)
And this is the error I get during the process
"Attributes do not match. Present Attributes (Directory, Compressed), included attributes (0), excluded attributes (Archive, Compressed, Encrypted)."
I have downloaded and installed all Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Express Ed (C++, C#, VB, WebDev) and all worked well
I get this error during the "Feature Selection" setup process.
I also noticed when I tried to use Windows Update, I saw Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1 (KB968369) suddenly available (I have updated windows and installed all important updates before installing Microsoft Visual Studio and SQL). Then I used Windows Update to install SQL Server 2008 SP1 and I still got this error:
Error
Code 84B40000 Unknown error....
I also get this downloading error on SQL Server while installing all 4 Visual Studio Express Editions (C#, C++, VB, WebDev).
"The following cannot be downloaded:"
I've already tried the troubleshooting guide about BITS but the tool fix seems to only supports Windows XP Operating Systems.
Please please please Help Me (^_^).. thanks to all.
P.S.
I think this might have some connections to why I get errors on a simple 'Hello World' Website.
I was just trying to simply make a 'Hello World' Website .. Just THAT on my website.
A simple Website for me to start. Just showing those text on the website. But when I tried to run (debug) the program. This error shows...
'Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:5903.'
I have Build the Web Site and there was no error. Since it was just simply 'Hello World' text.
Im sure there's some problem but I'm completely stuck here. I dunno if its connected to the problem above.
Please help me solve this problem. Thank you so much.
I appreciate everyone's help.

In my case I had to uncheck "Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties"
Right click on C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server
Click Advanced on General Tab
Uncheck "Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties"

Install SQL Server Express 2014 on same machine as SQL Server Express 2008 R2

Hello, I have a customer with a CRM application using SQL Server 2008 Express (installed as part of the product installation).
They wish to use another database-based application and the CRM company is recommending a separate instance of SQL for the other database.
So, I am wondering if it is possible to install SQL Server Express 2014 on the same machine as the existing SQL Server Express 2008 R2?
Many thanks for any assistance provided.

The CRM application in question is SAGE Act!. It is their own (proprietary) application.
I am less interested in comparability questions concerning this application than I am about the possibility of installing
SQL Server Express 2014 or creating another database instance within the existing SQL Server Express 2008.

SQL Server Express 2008 instance fails to start

I've installed SQL Server Express with a named instance 'SQLSERVER2'. I was able to connect to it and reference it in the management studio. There was a problem though with Visual Studio 9 when running an ASP.NET web application that required connecting to the same instance. So, I went into the configuration manager to change the security level of the instance from network to local service. The change went through but could not restart the instance. That is what has created my next round of problems. I can't go in and change it back to network because the instance is permanently stopped. I cannot start it with the services manager. How can I fix this?

Hi,
This problem can occur if the new Service Account does not have a profile on the machine. To resolve the issue connect to the SQL Server machine using the New Service account. This will create a profile for the user.
SQL Server creates a self-generated certificate if a certificate is not explicitly specified and/or is not installed. This information is saved in the profile for the SQL Server service account. If the profile has not been created then SQL cannot register the self-generated certificate.
If there are any more questions, please let me know.
Thanks.
***Xiao Min Tan***Microsoft Online Community***
What 'New Service account' are you referring to? SQL Server Express resides on my PC where I'm logged on as administrator. I don't know what you mean by connecting to the server. I only know about connecting to the database instance which is the root of the this problem because it can't be started. Sorry for my confusion...

SQL Server Express 2008 and WOW64

Our software requires SQL Server Express 2008 to be installed on various computers. We have run into a problem with systems that have WOW64. When the SQL installer is going through it's check list, it marks the WOW64 as the reason that it cannot continue. In other cases I get a notification that tells me that windows installer 4.5 or higher is required but when I try to install windows installer 4.5 it tells me that the it is not the correct verson of windows installer for the system. I try a few different versions and get the same problem. I am confused as to why one windows software would not work with another.

Hi,
- Which version of Windows installer 4.5 are you trying to install ? For X86, X64 or IA64 ?
- Which version of your operation system ? Windows 2003 ? 2008 ? 2008 R2 ? .....
For information
Download the file that is appropriate for your operating system version and platform.
For Windows Vista, Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008:
x86 Platform: Windows6.0-KB942288-v2-x86.msu
x64 Platform: Windows6.0-KB942288-v2-x64.msu
IA64 Platform: Windows6.0-KB942288-v2-ia64.msu
For Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows XP Service Pack 3 (32-bit platforms):
x86 Platform: WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe
For Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 and Windows XP 64-bit Editions:
x86 Platform: WindowsServer2003-KB942288-v4-x86.exe
x64 Platform: WindowsServer2003-KB942288-v4-x64.exe
IA64 Platform: WindowsServer2003-KB942288-v4-ia64.exe
Extract of the documentation :
Windows Installer 5.0 will be released with, and require Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7. Versions earlier than Windows Installer 5.0 were released with Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000.
Windows Installer 4.5 requires Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) and later, and Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and later.

Hi,
>>Server is listening on [ 'any' <ipv4> 1026].
Your sql server is not listening on default port 1433 but on 1026.When you connect to instance like hostname\instancename you should specify post no also.
like hostname\instancename ,1026
Can you try this.Makes sure TCP/IP and named pipes protocol is enabled

SQL Server express 2008 fails due to no useable instance

hi I am trying install a piece of software which requires SQL server express 2008. The server software comes with my software and is installed first but I cannot get it to install correctly. My operating system is Win7 64bit. Any ideas?.
thx
mark

Hi nield,
According to your description, before you installing SQL Server 2008 Express version on Windows 7 64bit, we need to verify if you install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 successfully on servers. After SQL Server setup completes, you need to apply SQL Server
Service Pack1(SP1) or a later service pack before you run SQL Server 2008 on the Window 7. There is detail about how to install SQL Server 2008 on Windows 7, you can review the following article.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/305113/How-to-Install-SQL-server-on-Windows
In addition, as other post, if you install failed, I recommend you help us to collect the detailed error message from the following error log. It is very useful for our research.

Hi,
Yes you can, but you should be aware of the limitations of MS SQL Express version.
1. 1GB RAM
2. 10 GB database size per database excluding log file (SQL 2008 R2 and above)
3.Job Scheduling service is not available with SQL Server Express.
4.Data import and export feature is not available with SQL Server Express.
5.Limitation on number of CPU

Hi DianaWeb,
It's glad to hear that your problem is resolved by changing the windows authentication into mixed authentication and use 'sa' user, namely an SQL Server authentication.
I believe the user name and password in the Netbean are for SQL Server Authentication to connect to SQL Server. The windows authentication you typed is not a valid SQL Server Authentication, that was why the connection failed.
In any case, if you want your J2EE project connects to SQL Server using Windows authentication(credentials of the user running Tomcat/Jboss where your application is deployed). Just build your JDBC URL like this:
jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;integratedSecurity=true;
See
Can I connect to SQL Server using Windows Authentication from Java EE webapp?
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

Connection problem in Crystal Reports for Eclipse(SQL Server Express 2008)

I tried to connect into a local SQL Server Express 2008 database in Crystal Reports for Eclipse (CR4E), but always got the Ping failed message(TCP/IP connection failed) even I tests completed successfully using my Window XP Adminstrators Tools (SQL Server ODBC Data Source Test). I can connect successfully to a remote network Oracle database in CR4E. I would like to know
that is there any one who connect SQL Server Express 2008 local database successfully in CR4E?

Don,
Thanks for your suggestions. I will follow your instruction to connect to SQL Server Express 2008 database latelly. I can connect successfully with different Oracle databases (10g) in CR4E. I will try to connect MySQL database and Postgres database in CR4E to see if they can be successful or not. My project involves international entities with emphsizing in using OPEN SOURCE softwares (which means FREE - no license fees) in .NET platform for Oracle, SQL Server Express, MySQL and Postgres database servers. I am responsible for reports generation. I hope that CR4E can be connected successfully to SQL Server Express 2008 database server, otherwise I have to use JFreeReport/JFreeChart tools to do reports generation .

Error Installing SQL Server Express 2008: '' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.
