Issue

During the installation of an Autodesk product, you received the following error message:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express(AUTODESKVAULT) Failed Installation aborted, Result=1603

Solution

This error indicates that SQL Server Express cannot be installed because the 'sa' account does not conform to the password policy. If your system or domain has a password policy and the default password does not comply with this policy, you will need to change the password so that is does comply. Follow these steps:

  1. Start the installation and select the Install Products option.
  2. Accept the license agreements.
  3. Select the option to configure Autodesk Data Management Server 2008.
  4. Under Select Installation Type, select the Use my SQL Credentials check box.
  5. Change the default 'sa' password to one that complies with the password policy.
  6. Continue with the installation.
