    I also tried to install Sharepoint Portal Server 2007 and ran into the same error.

    Only when I installed SQL Server 2k first and then installed a new server farm it worked. So it must have something to do with the internal database.

    Was anybody able to install sharepoint services 3.0

    I am having the same problems anyone know of a fix yet before I pull all my hair out

    hi

    The probs is exactly with the internal database only. The possible error may b with corruption with the exe file or the the user may not have any credentials to access internal db. Have u tried uninstalling MSSQL SSEE using regedit.

    I've been having the same issue. I'm installing .net 3.0, Sharepoint 3.0 (Basic/Standalone) and I keep getting "Failed to start database service MSSQL$Microsoft##SSEE....". Infact before the install completes I get an error message and I have to restart the install and select repair.

    I haven't installed SQL Express yet but according to all the documentation its not needed.

    If anyone found the solution please let us know.

    Thank you,

    Mike

    This seems to be a pure sharepoint setup issue. Let me move the thread to Sharepoint Setup area. Hopefully someone there can help you.

    I installed a windows 2003 server, .net 3.0 and started the basic installation of sharepoint services 3.0.

    I think the problem is the installation of the database module. Shouldn't there be the MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE service installed I can't find it in the windows services.

    Hi,

    Yes, I have tried many scenarios. Uninstalling, installing SQL 2005 express,...

    But when I installed it the first time, there was no sql server installed. So I think there must be something wrong within the setup procedure.

    I have been fighting with the same issue. I found the following excerpt from the Microsoft TechNet article "Install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 on a stand-alone computer" http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/WSS/en/library/6181fe5b-90ca-40cf-aade-abd59cf3c9071033.mspx mfr=true

    Note:

    If you uninstall Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, and then later install on the same computer, the Setup program could fail when creating the configuration database causing the entire installation process to fail. You can prevent this failure by either deleting all the existing Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 databases on the computer or by creating a new configuration database. You can create a new configuration database by running the following command:

    psconfig -cmd configdb -create -database <uniquename>

    Hopefully this helps
