I tried to install the Adventure Works OLTP & DW on SQL Server 2008 RTM from CodePlex though I got an error:
“The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2738.”
Initially I thought that the problem was caused by existing Adventure Works installations made on a previous CTP version of SQL Server 2008, forgetting to uninstall them when I uninstalled the CTP version. Totally wrong!
Doing a little research, I found first a post on CodePlex Discussion forum mentioning that the problem could be caused by VBScript runtime because, as Toms’Tricks blog highlights, VBScript and Jscript are not registered on Windows Vista. Wonderful!
I just run regsvr32 vbscript.dll command and it worked! Another situation in which regsvr32 saved the day!
I wonder why I haven’t got the same problem when I previously installed Adventure Works database on CTP version! Could it be because of Windows Vista SP1 changes (I installed Windows Vista SP1 after SQL Server CTP)?
