RE: Error Messages
Hi - thanks for the replys.
When it errors it gives me a popup stating error code '0x57C2DF62' and tells me to check the SQL error logs.
Inside the SQL error log it gives me the following: -

For the sheer hell of it I copied all of the installation files to the root of C:\ and tried again - still no joy.
It's a fresh install logged in as administrator (it's just a local machine not part of a domain or anything.
If I try and install SQL Express 2008 R2 from an MSDN download that installs fine - however that's not good enough for the Rockwell DVD, when you go back to install FactoryTalk from the menu it seems to want to do it all again......
Any ideas ?
