SRM 5.0.1 installation woes. ODBC error (42S01)

$

I’m trying to install SRM with VR.

I am installing the first SRM server, this is a windows 2008R2 VM.

The Database is an SQL 2008 R2 DB on a remote server using SQL authentication.

 

On installation right as its about to create the database I get the following error;

 

     C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\VMware’ is not a directory – yep it does not exist!

 

I click Retry and I am presented with a lovely dialog with an ODBC error;

-----------Dialog----------------

Failed to create the database tables.

Details:

There was an error creating the sequence: “ODBC error: (42S01) – [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]There is already an object named ‘dr_table_catalog’ in the database.“ is returned when executing SQL statement “create table dr_table_catalog (name varchar(255) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL)”

Press Retry to try again or press Cancel to exit installation.

-----------Dialog----------------

Ok sounds like I using a database that is already got SRM taking to it, the thing is, this is a new SQL server, New environment and SRM has never been installed previously.

I can delete and recreate the database but to no avail. The same happens.

 

Any suggestions?
