After Installation of a program, program folder on start menu is empty. Here
is my problem for the last 3 months I have had a problem with the installation
of programs on my PC the latest is Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 . After
Installation the problem is that when I go to the start menus and all programs
folder and go to that folder the latest installed Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
the program folder shows as empty. I cannot run anything from the start menu
all Programs. On Other smaller programs I installed I was able to start the
program from finding the start exe and worked with that by starting the start
program example start.exe. When I start sqlservr.exe manually from C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL server\MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Binn it comes up with a
black screen and a small window which I am sure I am not getting the proper
permissions on the files It needs to run. The C:Program Files and C:Program
Data folders have corrupt permissions or other folders are corrupt is there a
way of resetting these permissions back to their original state or what else is
happening here? Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated
Thanking you in advance. Here is the link to the error.log file on the
installation of SQL Server I hope this helps.
