Hello,
I installed SQl server 2008 on a server 2008 sp2 system but after the installation it gave this error
'An error has occured while trying to access the the license validation file please re-install SQl server to correct this file'
I had re-installed several time but it didnt solve the problem. I also installed SQl server 2008 sp2 it stilll did not fix the problem.
I need your help to fix this issue.
Thanks

Thanks for your support have been able to install GP2010. I left it after restarting the server and it didn't work, this morning i installed via network and it installed.
Thaks so much and God bless you.
Have a wonderful holyday.
Merry Xmas and Happy New
Sulaimon,
When you re-installed SQL Server, did Windows ask you to reboot?
When you started the GP install, did you get any of the components installed (i.e. shared componenets 11, .net framework, etc.) or did you get the errors right fromt the start?
While I have know idea what the specific code you referenced means, I am wondering if you need to reboot your server so that the changes you have made take affect.
Regards,
Aaron
Yeah thanks, what i did exactly is that i uninstalled and re-installed again and it instlled without errors. But while i wanted to install GP2010 it gave me this error 'A device attached to the system is not functioning,
EC(31) HR(-2147467259)OP(4)TP(0),
A device attahced to the system is not functioning'
Please how can i solve this issue.
Thanks for your support i really appreciate.
Regards
Sulaimon,
You might be able to get away with just removing the SP. Go to Programs and Features, and then click on "View installed Updates" or something similar to view the updates for each component that is installed. Search for SQL Server and see if you can remove the service pack from there.
If not, then yes, you should un-install and then re-install with SP1.

Aaron
Thanks
That means i will have to un-install SQl server 2008 and install again so i can install 2008 sp1 first before sp2.
Thanks and God bless
Sulaimon,
Are you running the installation with administrative rights? I am not sure if the SQL Server 2008 service packs are cumulative so you might try the following:
1. Make sure you are installing the SP with admin rights
2. Install Service Pack 1 for SQL server 2008 first
If this corrects your issue, then install SP2.
Let us know your outcome.
Regards,
Aaron
