SQL2008 installation problem - Setup support rules

There was an entry in this registry key, some sys driver for a printer. I
cleared the field and the rule now passes.

Might be a good idea if the log report why the rule failed.

Thanks for you help Geoff

Hello Robert ,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Online Community Support. It is Mark, a
SQL Server Engineer. I'm glad to assist you with the issue.

For this case, you indicated that you would like upgradeSQL 2005 to SQL
2008. Is it correct? If anything I misunderstand, please tell me directly.
It will help us to resolve this issue quickly. Once the issue resolved,
I'll appreciate your verification.

Based on the current information, our SQL Server MVP engineer has helped to
resolve the issue(fail to pass Support Rules step) already. That's great.
It is the precondition to upgrade SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008.

Besides, would you help to confirm if the upgrade(SQL Server 2005 to SQL
Server 2008) completed? Please run the following command to verify.
select @@version

If you would like to figure our the root cause of the issue(fail to pass
the Support Rules), we need the setup log to analysis further. If it is
convenient, please provide me your email address. I will open a work space
for you.

If you have any questions or concerns, please tell me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you

Best regards,
Mark Han

Hi Folks

I'm also encounter this problem.
When i try to install Sql Server 2008 enterprise, i als do see the message:
Rule "Restart computer" Failed.
After several reboots, i' still do see that message.
I've looked for a solution on the internet, but nothing is helping me, even
clearing some entries in the registry.
I do have a brand new pc with Vista Business installed. I've also McAfee
installed, but i've turned it down for the installation.
Could anyone help me?

Joep

Hello Joep,

I encountered this problem several times but they were SQL Server 2005
installations. However, I'll try to explain you the common scenario so that
you may find a way to solve your problem.

A prior halted installation may cause this. In this case, I go to Control
Panel's Add\Remove Programs and then select Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and
click the Change button. Then a different window appears and asks you to
continue installation. So, the halted installation is completed and you can
upgrade this instance or install new instances without getting this
"Restart" necessity.

As I told you, I have not experienced this problem in my SQL Server 2008
installations yet. I hope it works for SQL Server 2008 too.
