SQL2008 keeps asking for restart

Hi,
I'm trying to install SQL2008 RTM, but the installer keeps asking to restart the computer?
Any thoughts?
Yours sincerely,
Henk Simmelink

Hi Praveen,
Thank you again for your assistance.
The only thing that I do is after reboot is double click the setup.exe and then I click the Configuration Checker.
In the log file is then written:
2008-08-19 21:20:39 Slp: Initializing rule      : Restart computer

All other rules are succeeded or not executed.
Under Add or Remove Programs there is no mention of a previous install of SQL-server 2008, so I can't undo it (anymore).
That is all that I can find.
Yours sincerely,
Henk

  • G5 starts keeps asking for restart after 1st. application is started

    I have a three year old G5 that has always worked fine, suddenly this week the fan started racing at high speed and locked up, the only way I could stop it was to unplug it. Since that time it starts normally including fully loading up all programs and files on the desktop and even runs through my Ding fare info from SW but if I try using any program within a moment or two the screen will shade dark gray and tells me in three languages that I need to hold the power button for several seconds to restart my computor then the whole process starts over again with the same results. Anyone know whats wrong with it and how fix it? Thanks

    Hi baddad-

    How full is the hard drive?
    Try booting from your OSX install disk and run Disk Utility to repair permissions on your hard drive.

  • Mail 7.0  keeps asking for Password on restart

    Only Mail keeps asking for my iCloud password. I have entered it into the password box (in Account Information, incoming server), and it seems to take it, but it empties everytime I close the window, and reopen it.
    This didn't happen before Mavericks. ICloud works fine, as do all the iWork apps. They have no problem getting to iCloud. It's just Mail that does for some reason.
    Any ideas?

  • Keeps asking for my password sometimes takes it sometimes doesn't

    I very much appreciate your help and expertise --- Thunderbird keeps asking for my password. I use it for both a non gmail account and a gmail account. Both accounts have repeatedly asked for the password... however the gmail account seems to work better than the other one.
    It doesn't matter if I click the box that says save this password or not.
    I had yesterday reset the password once on the server side of things and thought that had fixed it... but then again today I started getting the same error message that it cannot login to my server.
    I looked through your help boards and cannot find a solution that I understand. There are a couple that seem like they may work but the things they are naming to reset are things I don't even know what they are... Sorry I'm not very techno savvy --

    Delete the password stored in Tools/Options/Security/Passwords/Saved Passwords, OK, restart TB, and enter the correct password when you're prompted at the next network connection.

  • Aperture keeps asking for my name and serial number

    Aperture keeps asking for my name and serial number, but only on one of my Macs. This is a new Mac that I restored from my old Mac. It made sense to have to put in the documentation the first time, but the program keeps asking for it. Any thoughts?

    Be sure to enter the serial number, when you are logged in from an account with Administrator priveleges - otherwise the serial number cannot be stored.
    Aperture is installed for all users on your mac, so the serial number is written to the system library, not the user library; this requires read/write access for administrators. Do you enter your serial number using an administrator account?
    SInce you migrated your system from another mac, you still may have an older ProAppSystemID file or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
    To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, first check, if you still have an old file "ProAppsSystemID" in your System Library.
    Quit Aperture.
    Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
    Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
    Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
    Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
    Use the Finder's "Go" menu
         Go > Got to folder    and  enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see ProAppsSystemID there, move it to its proper location in /Library/Application Support/ProApps.
    Aperture must be running, and you will have to wait a few minutes to be seeing the file appearing the /tmp directory.

  • Finder keeps asking for password verification

    Finder keeps asking for password verification when I ask to move or delete a file.
    How can I stop this from happening?
    Thanks in advance.

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • ICloud Account Keeps Asking for Password in System Preferences

    I am extremely frustrated with iCloud. I'm on Lion 10.7.3.
    Two main issues:
    System Preferences, iCal, and Contacts keeps asking for my iCloud account password over and over again. It will not retain the password whne I type it in. I know the password is correct because when I type it in everytime the services update and retain the password until I log out and log back in.
    I tried to delete the iCloud account and set it up again to see if that would fix the issue, but I cannot delete the account. In System Preferences I have tried to delete the account using the minus sybmol at the bottom and have tried the "Sign Out" method. The account disappears until I restart System Preferences. I tried deleting the account and rebooting, but it is still there.
    Any ideas? I would love to know if there is a way to override all this in Terminal.

    Your iCloud password is incorrect?

  • The Age app keeps asking for my password even though I am a subscriber. The developer can't fix it.

    The Age app keeps asking for my password in subscriber content pages, even though I pay for subscription to access all areas. The Age can't fix the problem.

    Try deleting and re-installing the app
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.
    Be a little more insistant with the app developer. If it his/her code after all.

  • Vista Service Pack 1 wont install. Update keeps asking for it.

    Installed Service Pack 1 with Windows Update. Update History says it was successful but it is not in the Installed Updates and Windows keeps asking for SP1 over and over. Vista SP3 is there.
    I have tried to install it directly, I closed all security programs and fire wall. I looked to see if there is any missing updates. I've restarted the computer. I have followed all the instructions on the support site.
    Service Pack 3 is installed.
    I just don't know what to do.
    I have Vista Home Premium 32bit

    Hi
    To be honest I never had any problems with my Vista updates
    The Vista updates automatically every time when Im online and when new updates are available
    How did you try to update the Vista OS?
    Did you download the SP1 firstly to HDD or did you run an automatic update?
    If the automatic update does not work try to download the SP1 firstly and then start the update procedure:
    The SP1 can be downloaded here:

  • Why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    Hey there mcsafranek,
    It sounds like you are getting prompted for your iCloud password very frequently. I would sign out of your iCloud account in Settings first:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    From: iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
              http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Then close all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that and restart the phone, sign back into iCloud, and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists could you relay what exactly the message says when it pops up?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • MBA 2011 keeps asking to restart

    Hi
    My MBA 2011 keeps asking to restart. I have done this so many times and it keeps asking me at the log in page.
    Can anyone help?

    If you're getting the restart screen that has several languages on it, that's a kernel panic. A kernel panic is usually, but not always, caused by a hardware issue, with memory the leading cause.  Since your MBA is a 2011 model, it's under warranty, so I'd take it to an Apple store for support.
