Carmine error was: InstallFailed (205); WindowsAPI
I have never really had any issues with installing SCVMM. Done it many times before and it just works! Well I am running a Microsoft Virtualization Workshop and when trying to install the VMM Server component, I get the following error - Carmine error was: InstallFailed (205); WindowsAPI....
I checked the problems listed about this error on the TechNet Forum but these are either not applicable or don’t solve my instance of this problem.
I am installing SCVMM 2008 R2 into a virtual machine, which is running an instance of Windows 2008 R2, nothing exciting there, but the virtual machine itself was not built from scratch. It was a pre-build (newly pre-built) generalized virtual machine.
Anyway seems something must have gone awry when I ran SYSPREP on the original virtual machine. After building a new virtual machine from scratch and joining it to the domain setup worked like a charm.
