Hello everyone...
I am trying to install WSS 3.0 SP2 and while the install goes smoothly, and I get all the through the configuration wizard, at the last point when connecting to the WSS admin console, I see...'connecting...' then "An unexpected error has occurred."
I have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
Confirmed that WSS tables were created within SQL Server during the install.
Installation log looks clean.
I see an error when I try to open the WSS 3.0 Central Admin... I'll cut and paste the last quarter of the log that captures the error...
