| Hi All,I want to learn how to use SQL Server 2008 express with Advanced tools, so I have got my-self a book (begginning sql server 2008 express for developers).However I seem to be hitting a small problem with installation, I get so far then sql server goes through a checklist then fails and says that I need to re-boot my pc or my computer is waiting to be restarted???I have restarted my pc 4 or 5 times and I am still hitting the same road block.Can anyone help me with this.If it helps Im using Windows Vista Home Premium.Thanks very much.John |

| It doesn't sound like the reboot is the issue - if the checklist is failing you need to fix whatever is failing, and you didn't say what's failing in your post? |

| not sure how else I can explain this without posting a screen shot???Ok, The install starts by extracting the files to be installed on my computer, then Windows starts the installer from which I tick the box to accept the end user lisnce agreement, I then get a screen with some options, from there I select install and then I click on the top option, from there another screen pops up which is the check list I was talking about in my last post, all of the checks pass appart from one which states very clearly that my pc is waiting to be re-booted, when I click on the option to show mw a report, a screen comes up that says my system is waiting to be re-booted from another program, once my computer has been re-booted I can retry the installation of SQL.Thats what happens from scratch.If you want a screen shot I will have to sort it out later.CheersJohn |

| It sounds like it could be that something else failed to install correctly, perhaps try doing a Windows Update before you try the SQL Server install? |
