Error message when you install SQL Server 2008 R2 before you run the PreRequisiteInstaller.exe tool

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (including SQL Server Database Engine and SQL Server Analysis Service). 
  • You run the PreRequisitesInstaller.exe tool from the Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 media.
  • You install the SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Edition. Then, the SQL Server 2008 R2 installer is run again.
  • You continue the installation and then you reach a dialog that needs the Analysis Services SharePoint Integration feature to be installed.
In this scenario, , the installation fails and you receive the following error message: 
Could not load assembly ‘Microsoft.AnalysisServices.SharePoint.Integration.dll’

Note This issue occurs in both new server installations and existing farm installations.

Cause

This issue occurs because the installation order causes a conflict with one of the SQL Server components. The component references the Microsoft.AnalysisServices.SharePoint.Integration.dll assembly before the component is installed in the computer. When the component is installed, a conflict occurs and the system caches the error even though the file does exist.
