Sharepoint 2010 Configuration: Failed to create configuration database.

Sharepoint 2010 Configuration Wizard: Failed to create configuration database.

I had faced this problem while I was running SharePoint 2010 configuration wizard
Error:
Failed to create configuration database
and the type of exception was:  "Microsoft.Sharepoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException"

after long search I found the solution for my case:

after I downloaded and installed the mentioned tool the error was solved.
I think it add permission to some registry files related to SharePoint.


I found other suggested solutions that can be helped if the above one didn't fix your problem.

1. Edit in your SharePoint registry files

2. Add “dbcreator” security role to the SharePoint admin user:
. Run Microsoft SQL server management studio
. Go to Security –> Logins –> –> Server Roles
. Check “dbcreator” role for the user
. Re-start SharePoint products configuration wizard.


Hope this helps you.
