From the log, it looks like that you have chosen to install to the embedded derby database, and the installer is failing to start up the embedded database server using the default port 1527. Is that port open (meaning no other application is running on port 1527 on that host server)? What windows version are you performing the installation on? If you navigate to the path E:\Percussion, do you have a file called “DatabaseStartup.bat”? If yes, are you able to successfully launch that batch file?
I am installing it on Windows Web Server 2008 R2
I went ahead and cancelled it/removed it from drive E. I did install it on drive C: and it did not pop up an error message during install but it does pop up the aforementioned port 1527 error when I launch it. I do have the DatabaseStartup.bat file and it launched.
I don’t believe there should be anything using this port because (other than the OS and Firefox) Percussion is the only thing I have installed. However, something is so any recommendations?

Thank you for your help.
From your screen captures, it looks like the installation completed and the CM1 server started up successfully.
In this case, you don’t need to run “DatabaseStartup.bat” since the database server is already up and running on port 1527 ( #1 screenshot).
It appears that you had an issue installing on drive E. How much free space is available on that drive? What version are you installing?
I believe we squared this issue away on our coaching session. Preston can comment further and confirm, but I believe the issue was not that it didn’t install properly in the end, but that the service was already running in the background. He was attempting to start the service up, but since it was already running, it was running into an issue starting up a second instance.
Once it’s running as a process on the server you don’t need to manually start the service. We got this cleared up and it appears to be on the machine fine now and up and running.
Sorry about not responding back. 
Yes, this has been resolved and I appreciate everyones help.
I have been thinking some more about this. I have two hard drives and installed Percussion on the 120GB C: drive which smoothed out the install. However, IIS is installed on the much larger 350GB E: drive where my IT department wants my website. Where will the web pages/content ultimately be? On the C: drive with percussion or on the E: drive with ISS?
Daved answered it in a class.
Thank you
