This solution worked for me. I installed the instance of analysis servics for adventure works. Once the config file is created as mentioned, the installation worked smoothly.

Many Thanks

Just uninstall, poerpivot, MS WEB APP and SharePoint 2010 and couple of restrat and Install, connect it to farm, it will fix you error. I have a smillar problem today and I managed to do it this way.

Reeves:
Yes, you can install an instance of SQL 2008 R2 on the machine, but you will get an error if you install PowerPivot afterwards. If that is what you’ve done, I recomment sequence (B). This tells the PowerPivot installation (actual .NET) that its cache of assembly status should be bypassed and always install new objects even if they’ve failed earlier. That is all you need to do.

Thanks for the clarification, and they were SQL Server 2008 R2 instances. We started over without all of the other instances up front.

So is it possible to install with a prior instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services on the same machine prior to a PowerPivot install. I know all of this is moot as most real servers would never have this configuration, but the good old POC is always the first step

Thanks.

Hi Reeves:
Sorry for any confusion.
(A) means that you install PowerPivot before doing any other SQL Server installations. You don’t have to change or update anything. You just delay when you install your other SQL instance that will go on the box. This does not apply in your case.
(B) means that you can have others installed, but before you install PowerPivot, you create the config file telling the installation to disable the cache chect for failed assemblies.

Q: These other SQL instances on the machine. Are they SQL 2008 or earlier, or are they SQL 2008 R2 instances?

Dave,

Did I read the above correctly, it sounds to me like A) and B) are the same.

A) “delay installing any instances besides SQL Server RDMBS” = Only install RDMBS instances and thus exactly what B) states. “If you have an RDBMS only instance(s) installed and are getting ready for a PowerPivot installation”

I’m asking because I have a machine that has SSAS/BIDS and other software related to the SQL Server bits already installed and I do not want to uninstall. Is this possible?

If I have not installed PowerPivot and have prior SQL Server 2008 R2 bits can I do step B) and continue with the PowerPivot install.
