I have been trying for two days to install AR Server 7.1.0 Patch 7 on a Win2k3/SQL2k5 VM. I have done this a dozen times in other places without significant problems, but this one just will not install. I get an arcane Windows error (1064), there are almost no logs created, and while the DB and the metatables are created, the service will not start, meaning that no forms or workflow can be imported. We tried starting the service in debug mode, but that didn't work at all. The problem seems to be that the service just will not start. It doesn't reference any authentication or logon error in the Event Viewer, just a mystery application error that leads pretty much nowhere.
We tried both SQL (sa) and Windows (admin) authentication, though the Windows account used wasn't a full domain admin. It was a local admin that also had admin privileges on the shared SQL server. My next step is to try installing patch 6 instead of 7, to remove that from the list of potential remaining issues. The server install is a direct download from Support just yesterday. Has anyone seen this before? I am about out of ideas for new things to try, and Support so far has only asked for files I don't have to give.
