BE setup does not accept SQL setup file

[Stefano_Gianfra]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Backup Exec 2010 R2 on W2K3 server. It refuses to install SQL Server instance and claims "SQLServerExpr32_deu.exe is not a valid SQL Server 2005 Express SP3 file. Please download SQLServerExpr32_deu.exe."

I downloaded SQLServerExpr32_deu.exe from Microsoft (I tried it also with SP2 and SP4). I have no idea what Setup is looking for?

Thanks for a hint,

Stefano

Try to install SQL Express manually

EDIT*** Try this http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH87111

Thanks, didn't realize that there was an option to avoid automatic sql setup. Installed it manually and afterwards setup didn't as for sql setup file anymore.
