When installing the SQL Personal Edition, the "Install MSSQL prompt reference Server Error Log and C:/winnt/sqlstp. Log learn more" solution appears.

The Enterprise Edition cannot be installed under XP, So download a Personal Edition

After the installation is complete, the system prompts "MSSQL installation prompt reference Server Error Log and C:/winnt/sqlstp. log for more information"

Solution:

First, delete the Microsoft SQL Server folder under the installation directory and C:/program files, and delete all information about Microsoft SQL Server under CURRENT_USER and LOCAL_MACHINE/software/Microsoft/. Then

1 open the Registry
In "start" -- "run", type "Regedit"
2. Click to open in the following order
+ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
+ Softlinks
+ Microsoft
+ Windows
+ CurrentVersion
+ Setup
+ Predictioncomponents
3. delete all the folders under predictioncomponents!
For example, {60bff50d-fb2c-4498-a577-c9548c390bb9}
{60bff50d-fb2c-4498-a577-c9548c390bb9}
{60bff50d-fb2c-4498-a577-c9548c390bb9}
{60bff50d-fb2c-4498-a577-c9548c390bb9}
