This technote explains how to resolve the Error 2908: Could not register component, that could occur when trying to install the Crystal Reports Embedded Edition that is. Microsoft Fix It for Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2 KB971058 provides a tool and detailed instructions to reset Windows Update components. According to the article, it applies to Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008. It is obvious that it is Microsoft.NET Framework that’s causing the issue. If this component is not included with CorelDraw Graphics Suite X5 and no other applications are using it, just uninstall it so you can also free up some space.

2 Posts | | Posted - 2009-10-20 : 08:46:15 | I am trying to upgrade a version of SQL 2k to 2k5, but cannot get past the first screen. I'm getting error 1603, when I check the log file I see another error 2908.
What do I have to do to get this thing to upgrade. I really do not want to have two copies of SQL loaded or running.
Thanks.. |

Ok.
First, download the most updated version of SQL Server Express 2005.
Save it in a folder, don't install it.
Download the Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, found on their website. Install & go to Start/Programs/Windows Install Cleanup
Open it & select only the SQL Server items it finds & Remove. Exit.
Control Panel add/remove programs: remove any partial install of SQL it finds.
Cut & Paste all of your database files from Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/Data into a new folder, I have one called Database for this purpose. It won't delete or copy any of the M... files, logs, etc. that are its defaults.
Reboot.
Install the saved version of SQL Express 2005 you just downloaded, but when the screen comes up that asks for where you want to install it to (the default is Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server), Name type in something else after it, like the current year, so that the remaining data files in Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/Data from previous installs won't be there.
Copy & Paste the database files you moved into the new /Data folder.
Now Business Cotact Manager database can actually load when I open Outlook!! Yay!!
I've spent 3 or 4 days on this monster, trying different fixes and looking up error codes. Try this.
Good luck! |
