Managed SQL Server Installer stopped working
Joern Henrichs
the following Message fom the SQL - Managed - Installer, before the GUI is
launching:
"Managed SQL Server Installer stopped working"
or in German:
"Managed SQL Server Installer funktioniert nicht mehr"
All Updates are installed and there is no hint in the LOG-File.
The error occurs on two different machines.
I'm installing in GERMAN language (both: Server and SQL)
I found a Posting with the same Error here, but there is no Solution:

The Problem was solved with MS Support.
The solution is to use a SP1-Slip-Streamed SQL 2008 Installation:
1. Copy your original SQL Server 2008 source media to c:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1
2. Download Service Pack 1 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=66ab3dbb-bf3e-4f46-9559-ccc6a4f9dc19.
The three architectures of Service Pack 1 should be included, the package
names are as follows:
o SQLServer2008SP1-KB968369-IA64-ENU.exe
o SQLServer2008SP1-KB968369-x64-ENU.exe
o SQLServer2008SP1-KB968369-x86-ENU.exe
3. Extract the packages as follows:
* SQLServer2008SP1-KB968369-IA64-ENU.exe /x:c:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\PCU
* SQLServer2008SP1-KB968369-x64-ENU.exe /x:c:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\PCU
* SQLServer2008SP1-KB968369-x86-ENU.exe /x:c:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\PCU
Ensure you complete this step for all architectures to ensure the original
media is updated correctly.
4. Copy Setup.exe and Setup.rll from the PCU extracted location to original
source media location
* robocopy C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\PCU c:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1 Setup.exe
* robocopy C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\PCU c:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1 Setup.rll
5. Copy all files not the folders, except the Microsoft.SQL.Chainer.PackageData.dll,
in c:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\PCU\<architecture> to C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1
\<architecture> to update the original files.
* robocopy C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\pcu\x86 C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\x86
/XF Microsoft.SQL.Chainer.PackageData.dll
* robocopy C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\pcu\x64 C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\x64
/XF Microsoft.SQL.Chainer.PackageData.dll
* robocopy C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\pcu\ia64 C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\ia64
/XF Microsoft.SQL.Chainer.PackageData.dll
NOTE: if you accidentally copy the Microsoft.SQL.Chainer.PackageData.dll
file, you may see an error when you launch Setup.exe. If this happens, restore
Microsoft.SQL.Chainer.PackageData.dll back to the original version.
6. Determine if you have a defaultsetup.ini at the following locations:
* C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\x86
* C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\x64
* C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\ia64
If you have a defaultsetup.ini, add PCUSOURCE=".\PCU" as follows:
;SQLSERVER2008 Configuration File
[SQLSERVER2008]
...
PCUSOURCE=".\PCU"
If you do NOT have a defaultsetup.ini, create one with the following
content:
;SQLSERVER2008 Configuration File
[SQLSERVER2008]
PCUSOURCE=".\PCU"
and copy it to the following locations
o C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\x86
o C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\x64
o C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\ia64
This file will tell the setup program where to locate the SP1 source
media that you extracted in step 3.
7. Now run setup.exe as you normally would.
