Hi Dave
It looks that you have a problem MS SQL. Verify that MS SQL have a proper
configuration and run installation once again.
Reply if it's working or not.
Regards.

Ok I reinstalled SQL Server and now I am getting this message...
Action Microsoft.Crm.Setup.Server.RestartWebApplicationAc tion failed.
The IISReset utility failed with the exit code 1062 and message: Internet
services stopped Attempting start... Restart attempt failed. IIS Admin
Service or a service dependent on IIS Admin is not active. It most likely
failed to start, which may mean that it's disabled.
IIS Admin is not stopped it is running, however when I run an iisreset from
the command line it also fails. What did I forget to do? I reinstalled IIS
and SQL but still get the error.
Help!

I got the same message! Deinstall and reinstall using another license - e.g.
D2Q47-*****-*****-*****-***** - MSDN 10 User Professional Edition - worked.
The same is true for Microsoft.Crm.Setup.Server.CreateSetupUserAction. This
error went away after using the license above.
