When installing Solid Edge Standard Parts, the SQL Express prerequisite fails to install. You might see an error message stating:
"Method not found:'Void Microsoft.SqlServer.Chainer.Infrastructure.RoleService.Intialize
(Microsoft.SQL.Chainer.Product.RolesType)'.
Solution
This can happen when the SQL Server install path is too long. By moving the setup files to a new folder the error can be avoided.
In order to see the specific SQL failure you can extract the SQL Express installation from SETUP.EXE. When you manually perform the SQL Express install it will show a list of items to validate. In this case the Path name was too long and caused the installation failure.
