I receive the following error message when attempting to install vCenter Server using the local bundled SQL Server Express database:
"the microsoft sql server express edition installer returned error code '2226914986'"
It seems to get to the end of the install of SSO and then returns this error and stops. I get the same error whether I use simple install or whether I attempt to install SSO as an individual step in the installation menu.
This is vCenter Server 5.1.0b
Ideas?
