SQL Server 2008 Setup on Windows Fail With “The system cannot find thepath specified”

  • Clean SQL 2008 components using the command line given at the top of the Summary.txt file:
    setup /q /action=uninstall /instanceid=MSSQLSERVERfeatures=SQLEngine,Replication,FullText
    OR
    Use Add\Remove Programs to clean the installed components.
  • Do not remove 100 folder inside C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\..
  • Now, run rsfx.msi file from ..\Installation folder\[x86] or [x64] or [ia64]\Setup folder. This will create the RsFxInstall folder and .ini files inside ..\100\Shared.
  • Then start the slipstream setup again.
