Symptom:

While installing SQL Server 2005 you might get an error during the installation of the prerequisites:

Click the second column of the first row ("Setup failed. Refer to the Setup log for ...") to open the installation log.

Look for the following error:

Product: MSXML 6.0 Parser (KB933579) -- Error 1706. An installation package for the product MSXML 6.0 Parser (KB933579) cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'msxml6.msi'.

Reason:

This error is due to the fact that the existing MSXML installation on the computer is corrupt. This causes the SQL Server 2005 prerequisites installation to fail.

Uninstall the existing MSXML 6.0 package from the computer and re-run the SQL Server setup program:

 The SQL Server 2005 Setup program will install a fresh copy of the MSXML 6.0 parser package.
