Thread: SQL Server 2008 SP1 x32 Installation Fails on W7

SQL Server 2008 SP1 Installation Fails with error " Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation. " at step SqlBrowserConfigAction_install_ConfigNonRC_Cpu32.

I am using the final build: Windows 7 Enterprise x64 RTM.

Slipstreamed SQL 2008 x64 SP1, Windows 7 Enterprise x64 - same problem. Slipstreamed SQL 2008 x64 SP1, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 RTM - same problem.

I also encountered the same problem, Windows 7 and SQL 2008 Developper edition

please use the search function of the forum or your such engine next time before asking. old msdn thread

I believe I'm having the same issue although with the x64 version of sql server 2008 on windows 7.  Please let me know if you find a solution.
