Hi, I followed Chapter 1, and when I got to the very end, where you run setup.exe, I got an error message, "Unable to satisfy all prerequisites for Contacts. Setup cannot continue until all system components have been successfully installed." I click "Details >>" and the following shows up: "Prerequisite check for system component SQL Server 2008 Express Edition failed with the following error message:
"An error occurred attempting to install SQL Server 2008 Express Edition."


See the setup log file located at 'C:\Users\Marcus\AppData\Local\Temp\VSDAFFE.tmp\install.log' for more information."

I installed SQL Server 2008 with Visual C++ 2008 express some time ago, then I recently installed C# but that was before I got the book and I don't remember if I checked all the options.

Help would be appreciated!
Thanks

I'm having the same problem as well
The program does run in debug mode... However, when I run the exe, it says the same error.

Anyone get an answer to this? I am having the same issue.

It seems no one ever got an answer to this. I am having the same problem, and any help would be appreciated.

I currently am having the same problems. I've uninstalled SQL 08, installed SQL 05, then uninstalled 05, and re-installed 08. I've even done Microsofts Web Platform Installer. However it still displays this error. I've tried locating it's install.log file and it's nowhere to be found. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same issue. It does not seem there is much support for this book/forum. I am going to return it to the store.
