From an installation of SQL Server 2005 SP3 or SP4 copy SQLSERVR.EXE and SQLOS.DLL files and put them in your SQL install folder.Ĭlick RETRYFor STEP 5 above: Although I didn't try looking into SP4 / SP3 setup for SQLSERVR.EXE and SQLOS.DLL but if you don't have an existing installation of SQL Server 2005 SP3/SP4 then maybe try looking into the SP3/SP4 EXE (Compressed file). For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, 'How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files' and 'Starting SQL Server Manually.'. During setup I received an errorThe SQL Server service failed to start.


But I also had to perform additional steps.
