HPSIM Installation Error

[Ben Leaver]

tarting HP Performance Management Pack Installation...
Is earlier versions of PMP found? No
Is the Operating System and Service Pack Valid? Yes
Is the screen resolution valid? Yes
Is HP SIM installed? Yes
Is PMP 4.0.1 already installed? No
When I try to install HPSIM I get the following error in the log file:

"Successfully retrieved HP SIM installation path.
Is Disk space sufficient for PMP installation? Yes
Applying PMP schema to the database.
HP Performance Management Pack was unable to create the HP Performance Management Pack database. Aborting the installation
Failed to install PMP."

Any ideas why ? The account I am using is a domain admin and has SQL create DB rights as using a remote SQL server for the DB location.

Thanks
Ben

same error, no luck with clearing registry of "pmp" value. added a service account for dbo permissions on the db server.

which of the 27 insight service should start with those credentials?

Do i force it by being logged in as that user, redoing install as that user, starting a service as that user or changing something through the gui?
