Error installing SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor

I'm getting a Windows Installer error when attempting to run the Upgrade Advisor setup package (SQLUASetup.exe). The error message reads:

"This installation package cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service. You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer service."

The machine is running Windows 2000 sp4. Both the .net framework v2 and Windows Installer 3.0 have been installed.

Any suggestions?

You need to be running Windows Installer 3.1. You can find it here:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=893803

I'm also having problems installing the Upgrade Advisor on a W2K server running SQL Server 2000. .net Framework 2.0 is installed as is Windows Installer 3.1.

I'm getting the follwing error message: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2755."

Any ideas what might be the problem here ?

You need to install Windows 2003 SP1, .NET frameworks 2.0 before installing Upgrade Advisor

You can refer http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144256.aspx

If you are still seeing install errors, you gather verbose log and post it in this newsgroup. To create verbose log:

Ex: msiexec /i SQLUASetup.msi /l*v e:\temp\verbose.log

Thanks

Error in MSDE Toolkit

Hello,
I am using the MSDE deployment Toolkit (RC) to deploy my application. I have my application, the setup project and the installer project in my solution. The installer project has embedded sql files for database creation and dropping only (which I create
d using the enterprise manager). Now when I run the setup, MSDE installs fine but during my applications setup I get the following error message:
"An exception occured in the OnAfterInstall event handler of PostInstall.CustomInstallActions. --> Value cannot be null."
I looked on web but couldnt really find anything about this error message.
Please suggest something. I wanted to post the SQL here but the message reached it's max count.
Thanks
dev
Hello dev,
Did you write the code that is running in the OnAfterInstall event? Or are
you using the sample code that comes with the Toolkit?
Can you post the code you're using? I don't need to seee the SQL at this
point.
Cheers,
Brian A. Randell
