We continuously received application errors related to SBS Monitoring, with
event ID 4014. I followed the instructions found at
support.microsoft.com/kb/555432
Everything went well until I tried to reinstall Monitoring. I have tried
the process four times with multiple reboots, but I keep receiving the
message: An error occurred while installing Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE).
Rerun Setup, and retry installing Monitoring.
Again, I have retried multiple times, all with the same result. Any ideas
on how to fix this?

As in your previous post, the Event Logs - Event ID and source might help.

Hello,

Thanks for your post and others' input.

Regarding the error messge " Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine - Installation operation failed." , you may run the following command to reinstall MSDE (Check paths):

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\Monitoring\msde\setup.exe blanksapwd=1 /i "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business
Server\Monitoring\msde\setup\SqlRun14.msi" INSTANCENAME="SBSMonitoring" DATADIR="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\" TARGETDIR="C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\" /L*v "C:\MSDE_SBSMonitoring.log"

Then, use Registry Editor to delete the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\Monitoring
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\SBSMonitoring

After all of the above commands running successfully , please go to Monitoring and Reporting and create a test wizard to see if the issue is solved.

BTW, please also check your server SSL certificate as for some similar issues may occur when the SSL certificate is expired. If so, rerun CEICW to create a new noe.

Hope this helps.
