SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
MsiGetProductInfo failed to retrieve ProductVersion for package with Product Code = '{DF167CE3-60E7-44EA-99EC-2507C51F37AE}'. Error code: 1605..
What I've done so far:
1) Had to re-install Windows 7 because I kept getting a pop up that said my windows was unregistered, which it wasn't (known bug) so I re-installed as per MS recommendation.
2) Un-installed SQL 2008 + ran Microsoft Fix It tool.
3) Tried to re-install but I get this error.
4) After I got the error I deleted all the registry entries per instructions available where other's have posted this same problem. Started by reversing key and deleting what I found in the registry.
5) When I continued to get the error I renamed the registry directory UpgradeCodes to UpgradeCodes.old. Still fails with the same error.
6) I've rebooted after every step and I've repeated this many times...
In all cases when I try to re-install it fails with Error code: 1605. At this point when I search the registry for the reversed key it is not found. It's gone.
Not sure what to do next.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thx
