"Unauthorized operation" error when installing Express Edition - sql-server-2008

Microsoft Outlook 2010 with Business Contact Manager worked on my Vista laptop but, laptop died. Now, have Windows 7 Ultimate x64 tower since November. Loaded Office 2010 x86 just fine but, trying to install BCM, failed to install SQL Server Express.
So, now I can't get SQL Server 2008 to install; the Engine, that is, all supporting files install fine. I read that if you can install SQL Server 2008 with the ID=MSSMLBIZ, BCM will pass over the server install, and continue with install. I read that the issue may be SQL Server x86 on Win 7 x64. So, I tried SQL Server x64. Every time I get an Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
Install always fails at step SqlBrowserConfigAction_install_ConfigNonRC_Cpu32. So, ran as Admin, from Admin log-in, from the root directory in the Admin log-in, changing permissions on the Security Registry KEY, turned off firewall, all suggestions still failed.
Coincidentally, I have an Update for Windows 7 for x64-based systems (KB2732487) that has failed to install, as well.

I think your Windows 7 is not proper installed, perhaps while installing Windows Updates.
But as for the
SqlBrowserConfigAction_install_ConfigNonRC_Cpu32
I dont understand: ConfigNonRC , in Microsoft terms stands the RC for Release Candidate.
If i was you i should try this:
Open CMD as Admin
Typ: "sfc /scannow"
When that's ready your pc may restart.
Now at CMD typ: "sfc /verifyonly"
If it shows any errors, try "sfc /scannow" again.
If it does not show any errors, try to install Windows Updates. All of them.
If this works, delete all existing SQL apps. And install the Core first.
If the updates can't install, You can try to re-install Windows 7 what i basically should not do and just use MySQL. A lot faster & reliable these days.
I hope this will fix your problems!

MySQL workbench failing to download

I have a Mac and use parallels to access Windows 11. I am trying to download MySQL, and everything successfully downloaded except for the Workbench. It fails to install every time with the error, "The processor is not adequate for running MySQL Workbench 8.0 CE."
I have tried googling and searching through forums and videos, and cannot find this exact error, and have tried using solutions from similar workbench issues.
I have tried uninstalling the program, and reinstalling, as well as restarting Windows and the computer as a whole. I have downloaded Visual Code 2022, 2019, and 2017 in hopes that one of these would work, but none did. I also added the development C++ add on to Visual Code like some people suggested, and that did not help. I also have downloaded the 2017 Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 (version 15.9) and tried to "repair" it. Still did not work, still get the same error. Also, I have already downloaded NET framework 4.5, so that is not the problem either.
I don't know where else to look, or what other resources to try and was wondering if anyone had any ideas or knows to how to solve this issue. Thank you for any help!
Windows on ARM emulation isn't good enough to trick the MySQL Workbench installer into thinking that it's running on an Intel CPU, so the installation fails.
Fortunately, this is fixable with some degree of effort - you have to patch the MSI file. There's likely other ways to do the patch, but here's how I did it using Orca:
Install the Visual Studio 2022 ARM preview and include the tools needed for C++ development. This will get the Windows SDK installed.
Run the Orca installer that's bundled with the Windows SDK (it will be put somewhere like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\WINDOWS SDK VERSION\x86\Orca-x86_en-us.msi")
Download the MySQL Workbench .msi installer from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/. Do not use the MySQL Installer that handles everything - you want the dedicated installer that handles just Workbench.
Right click the downloaded .msi, choose "Show More Options" and then "Edit with Orca"
Open the "LaunchCondition" table in the left hand list.
In the right hand side, there will be a row saying "Intel >= 5". Right click it and select "Drop Row" to remove the CPU check.
File > Save As and save your modified .MSI file.
You can now run the modified .MSI file and it'll install Workbench just fine on your Windows 11 on ARM environment. It works great in Parallels on my M2 MacBook Air!
your Mac silicon is M1?
M1 not support, intel is ok

Installing the SSRS Data Connector for CRM 2011

I have installed Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, Update roll-up 14 in my VPC.
While I try to install Microsoft Dynamic CRM Reporting Extensions using SetupSrsDataConnector.exe, I get an error saying,
Setup cannot proceed because an error occurred while copying installer files to the local system: The upgrade cannot be installed
by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded
may be missing, or the upgrade may update a different version of the
program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your
computer and that you have the correct upgrade For additional details
see logfile.
Does anyone know what is wrong? I tried several instances but they all don't work either. I can access my SSRS server by going to http: //SSRS-Server/Reports and it will give a list of all services running there.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Is there enough disk space for the installation?
Are you installing the update on the SQL machine or the CRM machine?
Are you installing the correct version? CRM 2011, CRM 2013? 64bit, 32bit?
Could you post the results from the log file?

How to install ejabberd community version on Windows XP?

I am a bit confused the link to use to install ejabberd on my windows XP box [http://www.ejabberd.im] ? What are the steps involved and dependencies there off?
=====UPDATE=====
I installed ejabberd windows version from link as mentioned in reply thread - but when I started the app it stated:
Starting ejabberd...
./ejabberdctl: e:\bin\erl.exe: can't execute: (14001) Error 14001
There is a problem starting Erlang.
If the error you see is 14001, you need to install:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package
You can download that installer from www.microsoft.com
You can also check the ejabberd Administrator Guide
But even after downloading the package http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=5638 and successfully installing I still get the same error?
Please let me know how to resolve the same?
You could install 2.1.11 using the installer provided by Process-One here. Windows installer for 2.1.13 is not there yet.
no additional dependencies are required as ejabberd installer includes a build of Erlang runtime.
But really I fail to see what's the problem with putting up a cheap box running some free OS (I'd personally recommend Debian) where ejabberd would be installable via the OS's package manager, and will be upgraded along with the rest of the OS when the next release comes out.

How to fix 'Managed SQL Server Installer has stopped working'

I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition on Windows Server 2008. I have done all the process till the Installation correctly. However, the installer displays the message "Managed SQL Server Installer has stopped working".
No online Solution has been provided yet....
Anyone sorted this problem before?
This is usually a problem with your installation of .NET framework. E.g:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/34671131-a095-4068-b4d8-ab5ef6f5b8cc/managed-sql-server-installer-has-stopped-working
Check that your installations are all in working order by using the tools on this site:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/10/13/8999004.aspx
You may have to re-install any or all of your .NET framework versions.
Instead of trying several methods that have not been approved, it is better to repair the MSSQL Server installation. On the other hand, there is some other issues that can be encountered during the repair process i.e. Installing the .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 as shown below.
In this case, if you have trouble during .NET Framework installation, you can install it by following the steps below (requires Windows 8, 8.1 or 10) setup disc or ISO file):
1) First you'll need to copy Windows 8 setup files to your hard disk. If you have Windows 8 setup ISO copied in your system, you can mount it by right-click on it and select "Mount" option or you can extract its content using 7-Zip.
If you have Windows 8 setup disc and don't want to copy its content, its ok. Just insert the disc in your CD/DVD drive so that Windows can access its content.
2) Now open Command Prompt as Administrator as mentioned here and then provide following command:
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:F:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
Here "F:" represents the CD/DVD drive letter in your system which contains Windows 8 setup disc. Replace it with the correct drive letter according to your system.
If you extracted Windows 8 setup files in a directory, replace F:\sources\sxs with the correct path.
3) As soon as you execute the above mentioned command, Windows will start installing .NET Framework 3.5 in your system and it'll not require Internet connection.
It'll take a few minutes and you'll get a message that the operation completed successfully.
4) That's it. Now you have installed .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 8 without using Internet connection.
For more information have a look at How to Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Offline in Windows 8 and Later without Internet Connection?. Hope this helps...

Why can't I install SQL Server SP1 (KB968369)?

I have a Windows Server 2008 x64 machine. I have the "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1 (KB968368)" as an "optional" update available from Windows Update. I choose to install it, my computer installs it for a while, I restart, and that update is available again. Why doesn't my computer install it?
Thank you.
Not sure, but I had the same problem. Did you ever do an "Edition Upgrade" in the SQL Server 2008 installer? Many users who did such an upgrade are reporting problems with the update package. For me, it wasn't a mission-critical system, so I just uninstalled the whole shebang and then reinstalled.
Other workarounds at Microsoft Connect. These people have problems when it's installed on the same machine as Visual Studio.
FWIW, I find the entire setup experience for SQL Server 2008 to be absolutely miserable.
I think I got the same problem before. I googled around and found that's a known issue My solution is to check something like "don't notify this updates".
do you have any errors in your event log?
I found that I couldn't install it using windows update, I had to manually download it and it installed first time. I also has this problem for SQL 2005 sp2
I solved it. I deleted the PendingFileRenameOperation key in the registry (backed up that registry branch first), ran the install, restarted and it is now in my installed updates list.
