Maybe someone else can answer this question.  Have you tried re-installing?
Sometimes there are errors on SQL server installation, as I've read on this
list.

Thanks for your response, but the problem seems to be not a lack of memory,
but the fact that C: is an SSD drive. I don't know anything about SSDs, but
it would seem that they must store material as compressed files which the
SQL installer can't handle. So unless there is a way to install the relevant
files to some other location, it looks like FW just won't work on the Mini
9??

Bruce,

They do make larger flash drives (called Solid State Drives or SSD) in
capacities like 16, 32, 64, 128, and even 256 GB, but they are fairly
expensive especially on the high end of capacity.  But you could upgrade to
a 32 GB SSD and have no problem with memory size being a factor for
installation of FLEx.

Subject: [FLEx] Dell Mini 9

Hi. I've just tried to install FieldWorks 5.4.1 on a Dell Mini 9 Netbook
which has an 8Gb C: drive and an 8Gb Kingston SD card for a D: drive. I
installed FW on D:, since C: is already getting fairly full. All went well
until right at the end when I got the message:

"SQL Server Setup cannot install files to the compressed or encrypted
folder: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\. To continue, make sure that
your installation directories are not compressed or encrypted, or specify a
different directory, and then run SQL Server Setup again."

SQL Server Database Services was the only thing that failed, but it promised
that if I tried to run FLEX etc it would crash. It was quite correct and I
got the message Installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express SP2
failed, and Flex did crash when I tried to run it.

Actually everything installed except, I think, the Support Services bit.

But it was trying to install the SQL stuff on C: drive, and there was no
option to put it anywhere else. So is it not possible to run FW on the Dell
Mini--at least on the one I have. I see that the standard Mini comes with a
160Gb hard drive, but I don't have that, only an 8Gb (flash??) drive.
Whatever that drive is, at least it is not supposed to have any moving
parts.

Is there any way to get round this problem?

Thanks for any feedback you might have.
