I have problems installing the AdCenter on my PC. It used to install with Windows 7 PC but I do not have any idea why it didn’t install on my PC with a corporate set-up. Normally, this error appears on multiple XP SP 3.I have turned off my antivirus software but still unable to successfully install the AdCenter. My first installation trial is I used the installer and it enable me to install the SQL 2008 Express R2 component but since then I got an error that the installation could not be completed. I am just wondering because after getting that error, the AdCenter has been installed. I thought I have properly installed it that is why I tried to run the Adcenter. Unfortunately, I got the same error message after it. I have tried to separately install its executable file from the AdCenter installer but there’s no difference.

I tried to delete and reinstall the SQL Server 2008 Express R2 component with the whole Adcenter installation. I also deleted all instances in Microsoft SQL Server including its saved folders on my computer system. After doing all removing ad reinstalling, still I got the same error. I tried to install outside from my company’s firewall but still no luck. I have attached a screen shot image of the error. I hope it helps. I would be very grateful for any tips how to solve the problem. Thank you very much.

Dear Mandy miller
According to the error message u got "Your SQL Server 2008 R2 repair operation completed with failures", try to manually remove all installed SQL programs again and make sure that u have no other SQL programs in the control panel add/remove. Please follow the following link in order to manually remove SQL successfully http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967/en-us. U should make sure to backap all ur files before uninstalling. The main issue in the link is that u r going to remove SQL registry keys in the registry which will enable u to re-install it again.
Hope this may help you.
Best of luck
You can fix this issue in two ways. One is through your command prompt and the other one is to fix it through installation center. To fix this through command prompt, just click on Start and then type cmd on the search box to launch the command prompt window. Then type the following command: "Setup.exe /q /ACTION=Repair /INSTANCENAME=instancename" then Enter. To repair this from the installation center:
1. Open your SQL Server setup or the setup.exe.
2. After verifying, the setup will display the SQL Server Installation Center.
3. Click the Maintenance on the left pane area and then click Repair to start the repair process.
4. It will then check and verify the prerequisites and if your computer have passed the Setup Validation rules. Click OK or Install.
5. Under the Select Instance page, choose the instance to repair and then Next.
6. It will verify again the process and then click Next.
7. Click Repair when the Ready to Repair page state that the process is ready to continue.
8. The Repair Progress will let you know the status of the repair process. And then the Complete page will let you know if the process have been finished.
