When trying to install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Virtual Machine on Azure, you might come across the following error at the Setup Support Rules step:
This has to do with two manifest files that are corrupt.
If you have another working installation, you can copy the following two manifest files from the working server to the failing server:
- C:WindowswinsxsManifestsamd64_microsoft.vc80.
atl_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.4053_none_8a1a02152edb659b.manifest - C:WindowswinsxsManifestsx86_microsoft.vc80.
atl_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.4053_none_d1c738ec43578ea1.manifest
If you don’t have another working installation, find and open the files mentioned above and paste the following xml in them:
- AMD64 Manifest:
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″ standalone=”yes”?>
<!– Copyright © 1981-2001 Microsoft Corporation –>
<assembly xmlns=”urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1″ manifestVersion=”1.0″>
<noInheritable/>
<assemblyIdentity type=”win32″ name=”Microsoft.VC80.ATL” version=”8.0.50727.4053″ processorArchitecture=”amd64″ publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b”/>
<file name=”ATL80.dll” hash=”99840dcc34e78af239d80841eba316c184e407cd” hashalg=”SHA1″/>
</assembly> - X86 Manifest:
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″ standalone=”yes”?>
<!– Copyright © 1981-2001 Microsoft Corporation –>
<assembly xmlns=”urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1″ manifestVersion=”1.0″>
<noInheritable/>
<assemblyIdentity type=”win32″ name=”Microsoft.VC80.ATL” version=”8.0.50727.4053″ processorArchitecture=”x86″ publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b”/>
<file name=”ATL80.dll” hash=”6d7ce37b5753aa3f8b6c2c8170011b000bbed2e9″ hashalg=”SHA1″/>
</assembly>
Note: You probably need to change the permissions for those files to be able to overwrite them.
To do so, go to the file properties, Security tab, Advanced, Owner tab, Edit, Select the Administrators group and click three times OK until all windows are closed.
Reopen the properties for the file, Security tab, Edit, Select the Administrators group and select Full Control.
