Rick/Ben,
I've installed the pre-configured stack installer and straight ars + itsm + srm + slm installs on Windows 2008 and not run into that issue. Maybe I've just gotten lucky? :-) I've got 4 different VMs running right now. I did run into the occasional challenge... I won't lie about that! But I got all of them to install. With the SQL Server install, though... I admit that I cheated... went in as 'sa' ahead of time, created the DB and db user... then ran the necessary SQL commands (see the install guide), to ensure it was prepared for the installer package. I think that was the only 'out of the norm' step I did, though. I can go back and check my notes, if you'd like...? Good luck! Matt R.

Again, brand new installation. Nothing in the Remedy KB system referencing the error. How are we supposed to install this product?

These are all new installs to a new machine with the OS and the DB installed. I did not have the loop-back adapter but that only causes problems with the Oracle management app. (I will reinstall that later). There are no environment vars set that I would think would interfere w/ ARS. If anyone has any clue what the problem and work-around may be, I would certainly appreciate it.
