I'm trying to setup a Sitecore 9.0 update 1 installation on my local machine using

  • windows 10
  • Solr 6.6.2
  • SQL Server 2016 SP1 Sql Express 2017
  • SIF-less 0.6.0.0

Despite a couple of annoying hickups I managed to get as far as past Solr installation, service restart, certificates setup.

The installation fails with the following output:

    PS>TerminatingError(Invoke-CommandTask): "The running command stopped because the preference variable 
    "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop: Command 
    C:\inetpub\wwwroot\xxxx.xconnect\App_Data\collectiondeployment\Sitecore.Xdb.Collection.Database.SqlShardingDeploymentTool.exe 
    returned a non-zero exit code - (-1073741811)"

Its obviously the "SqlShardingDeploymentTool" that complains during installation, but I'm having a hard time finding out why.

The SIF-less test execution returns all green.

Output from SIF-less test execution

Sql Server 2017 is not supported, you need to have Sql Server 2016 Update 1.

Please have a look on Prerequisites and Requirements at https://dev.sitecore.net/~/media/1E934A0DB5534F2CB1D98A0F4000B25C.ashx

  • Tried with Sql server 2016 SP1 after your message (the company has such an instance already, so I just changed connection settings in SIF-less), but to no avail. The same error occurred. – VilladsR Feb 12 '18 at 11:22
  • I updated the question to be specific to the supported database server. – VilladsR Feb 12 '18 at 11:24
  • Are you sure Sifless is working with Sitecore 9.0.1 ? – Vlad Iobagiu Feb 12 '18 at 11:36
  • flux-digital.com/blog/… claims that it works. – VilladsR Feb 12 '18 at 11:45
  • Is it using Sif not Sifless on your link – Vlad Iobagiu Feb 12 '18 at 12:13

First of - I didn't fix the error, I simply avoided it by not utilizing xconnect.

This was done by not filling out the two following fields in the SIF-less application:

  • XConnect Package
  • xConnect Name

Removing these fields allows the install script to complete successfully (leaving you with the Sitecore default site, which was my actual goal).
