I am just trying to install a brand new 7.1.0 patch 6 or 7 (I have tried both) on a Win2k3/SQL2k5 VM. 3 GB RAM and appropriate patches. Lyle's response shows how little data there is out there on this problem.
The installer does create the DB, so DB authentication isn't the issue. The issue is that the Remedy AR System service simply will not start after the DB is created but before the forms and workflow are imported by the installer. This same set of conditions occurs no matter what we try during or after the installation. We get the "service-specific error code 1064" error code when we try. I have looked up that error code everywhere I can, including the BMCDN. Some 7.5 users are reporting this on install, but I appear to be the first to encounter it on a 7.1.0 install. There doesn't seem to be an answer that anyone has found yet. I hate to admit it, but I am well and truly stumped. Since the same behaviors occur with two different patches and with multiple install options, it seems like an environmental issue, but I can see nothing wrong with the environment. We have a Webex with Support in about an hour - we'll see if they can find something no one has so far. I will, of course, share any solutions that work.
