Popup Message Displays “SQL Server Setup Failed to Execute a Command for
Server Configuration”
Cause:
During the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition install procedure, you see the error message,
“SQL Server Setup Failed To Execute A Command For Server Configuration.” This
issue can happen if the System Date or Time is incorrect.

glq046.png

Solution:
Double-click the clock in the Windows System tray or access the Date/Time Properties in
the Windows Control Panel to ensure that the Date and Time settings are accurate. After
you make a change, press Retry to continue the installation.
The SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Fails to Install
Cause:
An error message displays that a higher version of MSXML 6.0 Server Pack 2 is installed
and you cannot uninstall MSXML 6.0 from the Control Panel (Add/Remove Program).
Solution:
Uninstall the MSXML 6.0 Server Pack 2 and complete the installation of the SQL Server
2005 Express. A third-party tool must be used to uninstall the MSXML 6.0 Service Pack
2. From the internet, download the “Windows Installer CleanUp Utility 2.5.0.1” program
to the computer. Run this program to uninstall MSXML 6.0 Service Pack 2.
W Caution
The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is provided "as is" to
help resolve installation problems for programs that use
Microsoft Windows Installer. If you use this utility, you may
have to reinstall other programs.

5. After you remove the Viewer Software, reinstall. The pending list displays as shown
in Figure 21.
6. Click Install and follow the on-screen prompts. This will install Microsoft
ActiveSync as well as the Viewer Software.
7. Open the Viewer Software.
Database Backup Folder is Empty
Cause:
After a Viewer Software upgrade to version 1.5.x in Windows 7 or Vista, the database
backup folder is empty. This is a known issue for new UAC Technologies for Windows
Vista and Windows 7. System will not allow the user to write or modify any file to the
Program Files folder. Instead, the operating system is redirecting to a Virtual Store folder
in the user’s hidden folders.
Solution:
Follow these steps before uninstalling or upgrading:
1. Open Windows Explorer and go to the Users folder. This folder location will be
based on the Windows installation. For example:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program
Files\Fluke810\Viewer Software
 = Windows logon username
This is a hidden folder that you may not see. If not, enable “hidden folders” to view.
