Summary:
SYMPTOMS
During the installation of SQL Server, the following message is
displayed by the Setup program while attempting to create the
master database:
ERROR: Setup was unable to create the master database file.
RESOLUTION
Check BLDMASTR.OUT in the \SQL\INSTALL directory for error
messages. There may not be enough disk space for a file of the
specified size on the specified drive, or a disk I/O error may have
occurred.
If no BLDMASTR.OUT was created, it is possible that Setup couldn't
find CMD.EXE. Check the current PATH to be sure it includes the
subdirectory where CMD.EXE resides. It is usually in OS2\PBIN. If
necessary, add the subdirectory containing CMD.EXE to the PATH and
retry Setup.
