SYMPTOMS
After you copy the contents of the installation CD for Microsoft Business
Solutions CRM to a folder on a computer, you try to install the Microsoft CRM
server from that computer, and you receive the following error message:
Setup was unable to install Microsoft CRM server. Setup was unable to grant
access to the Microsoft CRM databases.
You receive the error message immediately after you click Install. No error
number is displayed.
CAUSE
You receive the error message because not all the files that are required to
install the Microsoft CRM server are successfully copied from the Microsoft CRM
server installation CD to the computer.
RESOLUTION
Two resolutions are available for this error. Before you perform either
procedure, you must remove any existing Microsoft CRM components from the
computer to which you are installing the Microsoft CRM server.
For more information about how to remove Microsoft CRM components, see the
topic, "Completely Uninstall the Existing Microsoft CRM Deployment," in
Appendix C of the Microsoft CRM Implementation Guide. The Microsoft CRM
Implementation Guide can be found on Disk 3 of the Microsoft CRM CD set.
