  • Microsoft TV Server

This article was previously published under Q323059

SYMPTOMS

The MSN installer stops responding (hangs) during database installation if the SQL Server Agent is stopped or has not been started.

CAUSE

The installer does not verify that all SQL Server services are running before the installation of the databases. You can see the resulting failure error in the log file that is generated.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, start the SQL Server Agent before you start the MSN installer.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem will be fixed in a later version.
