i am doing am upgrade drom vCenter 5.0 to 5.1. when i am installing the SSO it will almost compleate the install then it will return an error. it tells me that "The Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition installer returned error code '2227047362' " i am not able to get past this error. any one else run into this error if so what did you try to correct the problem. any ideas would be greatly appricated. i am installing this on a Winows 2008 r2 Server as well.
Have you restarted the server and run the installer again?
Yes, i have tried a restart of the server and it still comes up with the same error.
I had this error. But was able to work past it.
Uninstalling SQL 2008 Express (all components) and then DELETING the SQL 2008 folders under c:\program files\.. and c:\program files (x86)... did the trick.
have you installed .net framework 3.5 or higher?
No need to do anything manually out of the VMware wizard. As I said, the trick for me was uninstalling SQL 2008 Express completely, then DELETING the vestigial components thereof from disk and re-running the install. I am running Windows 2008 R2, btw.

Error 2227047362: Your computer needs to be restarted. This situation can occur where other software or updates have been installed or uninstalled and required the computer to be restarted by the install or uninstall actually completed. SQL Server will not install on a computer that is waiting to be restarted from earlier install or uninstall activity. The solution is to reboot the computer, then do the installation.
If a reboot doens't help, have a look at this regkey:
