If you’re using AMD Phenom 3-core processors, SQL Server 2005 won’t install without going through some hoops first. Microsoft just published a knowledge base article on SQL 2005 errors on 3 and 6 core servers.
I don’t usually blog about knowledge base articles, but I got such a laugh out of that one that I just had to share it.
Want to know about MS KB articles as soon as they’re published? Subscribe to the Microsoft Knowledge Base RSS feed for SQL Server. You DO use an RSS reader, don’t you? Hint hint….
hi,
I’m running WinXP and that KB fix didn’t work for me, wondering which OS you are using to run SQL 2005 ?
I don’t use an AMD processor, so I can’t help you there. You probably want to call Microsoft for support.
The fix http://tinyurl.com/c37ewp worked for me, thanks anyway.

Sandeep – can you be more specific about the problem that you’re having? For example, can you include error messages?
