Setup failed to install the required component: Microsoft SQL ...

[Guest]

The error message when attempting to install BCM 2007 to Office 2007:

"Setup failed to install the required component Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Express (MSSMLBIZ). Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007 cannot
continue. See C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup
Bootstrap\LOG\Summary.txt for more detail."

I've read and researched this newsgroup on this failure message which
appears to be solely an issue with the SQL installation. From the research I
determined to remove the "Microsoft SQL Server" folder and all its contents
from Program Files. However, I am being denied whenever I make the attempt
to delete this. I've assumed ownership of all contents and have removed all
inheritence and all other accounts but mine with Full Access rights.

The subsequent message I am getting is:
"Error Deleting File or Folder - Cannot delete TBD38F.tmp: Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not
currently in use."

Is there a brute force way of deleting a folder structure?

I am still hoping to hear from someone about a simple DOS command for
deleting an item without any obstacles.

What I found through research was a third-party tool called, unlocker, and
for what I needed done it worked.

With that directory removed and therefore available to be rewritten the BCM
2007 installation succeeded. Thanks to whomever corresponded in a similar
thread begun on 3/21/2007.

Files are probably in use because there is a SQL service running?
Check your NT services list.

If that's the case, you probably want to uninstall sql, rather than
deleting the folder, which should be a last resort.

for the interest in keeping a consise post I did not repost the contents of
the 3/21/2007 thread - in that context SQL has already been "uninstalled" and
as such there are not SQL services running at all

You should note that although programs are "uninstalled" they still leave
behind a legacy of files under Program Files. In this case these left overs
didn't want to play nice when I tried to deleted them. Changing ownership
and security settings was to no avail. Its an unexpected situation and
result. Fortunately I found a solution; however, I want a better solution
for handling future situations should they ever recur. In my fuzzy memory
there is a simple dos command for doing this "brute force" file management
and I'm hoping someone can list it.

You don't want to force delete a file that won't delete because it is
"in use".

Instead you should find out what process is using that file, and
remove that process first.

Otherwise, brute force removing a file, may result in problems later
on when that process can't find the file next time it starts up.

Please if you know of a command for brute force file management please share
it. I know I've used a similar command with Xcopy but it would seem there is
another or perhaps I'm just wishing there was.

If you want to talk in theoretical big brush strokes then yeah you are right
that a file that is held by a process shouldn't be brute force removed.
However in this situation there is no process holding the files from being
deleted and there is no sql service running as they were eliminated entirely
by a preceeding uninstall re-rementioned in the last post I made. The fact
that the file is "stuck" is not in any way explainable by convention and as
such I'm here in the newsgroup asking for the larger pool of knowledge to
ponder this peculiar preponderance. This folder has no purpose for existing
and since the solution to reinstalling BCM successfully needed that entire
folder removed I have an important and valid purpose for deleting these
relics. So in this circumstance which is unorthodox by its nature an equally
unorthodox method needs used.

In any case I did brute force remove the file without anything but a
positive result but it required a third party tool which I'm guessing is
nothing but a pretty GUI that runs the command I'm asking your assistance to
recall. Can you please help and provide information on any command that can
serve this purpose? If so - thank you.

Although I suppose it's technically feasible to bypass the standard OS
APIs and tell NTFS directly to remove a file, I don't know what that
command might be.

You could run Sysinternals's Process Explorer and ask it what process
is holding the handle to TBD38F.tmp.
