Issue when installing SQL Server Express 2012 - "The requested control is not valid for this service" + "Could not find the database engine startup handle"

Good morning,
I'm experiencing the following issue when installing Microsoft SQL Server Express 2012 (with tools, SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe) on the laptop of my company;
Installation goes plain until around the end of the progress bar, it stops on the setup of
SqlEngineDBStartConfigAction_install_configrc_Cpu32
giving 7-8 times, even pressing "Cancel", the message "The requested control is not valid for this service";
After this, I receive one last message ""Could not find the database engine startup handle", then installation ends with failures, in particular the Database Engine and the Server Replication failed to be installed.
I've put in my SkyDrive the error log I received after the install;
I'm at full disposal if you need further information,
thank you in advance
Best regards
Francesco

Well, i just ran into this issue and the problem was lack of admin rights. It was my company's laptop so got the setup initiated by my company's IT team with admin rights. However, the upon completion of setup, i go the same error messages as stated above: 
SqlEngineDBStartConfigAction_install_configrc_Cpu32
giving 7-8 times, even pressing "Cancel", the message "The requested control is not valid for this service";
After this, I receive one last message ""Could not find the database engine startup handle", then installation ends with failures, in particular the Database Engine and the Server Replication failed to be installed.
Also, if you open SQL Server Configuration, the status of the service is "Change Pending" and you would not be able to set the startup login type to Local Service/System/Network.
Then, I just got my account added as Local Admin and then tried to start the service and was able to.
However, I am not sure whether same was the case for you.
Please mark the answer as helpful if i have answered your query. Thanks and Regards, Kartar Rana

    Above message says that your registry is not consistent and some of the parameters are missing from registry.Or
    Account installing SQL server does not have permission to access this. I think case can be here that account with which you logged into your system to install SQL Server might not have certain privileges. Can you take help
    of domain admin account add it as a local administrator in this machine always right click on setup file and select run as administrator. Before this make sure you  remove all SQL Server components from add remove program

  • SQL Server Express 2012 SP2 installation hangs during extract phase

    Greetings!
    I am having an issue with trying to silent install SQL Server Express 2012 SP2 (x86).
    I have a proprietary installation framework, which is calling the SQL Server Express installer.
    The SQL Server Express installer starts extracting files to c:\{some guid}. The folder reaches about 11 mb in size, and then nothing further happens. No activity on the machine, CPU or disk - I have waited up to 15 minutes to verify this. On the normal installation,
    the size of this folder is ~650 mb.
    Here are the things I've also tested:
    - I'm experiencing these symptoms on both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2012 R2 (haven't tested other platforms)
    - If I launch exactly the same command from the command prompt, the installation goes through as normal
    - If I replace the SQL Server Express 2012 SP2 with SQL Server Express 2012 SP1, and install via our installation framework, the installation goes through as normal
    - I have checked and double-checked that our installation framework is started with administrative privileges.
    - From my previous search attempts, I have seen issues where the installer would hang or fail when launched from inside an msi, which would result in a log in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\<something something>. These are not the symptoms
    I am experiencing. The C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\ folder is not even created!
    Any suggestions, or places I can look to figure out why it's not proceeding? For now, I have worked around the issue by including SP1 instead of SP2, but ideally I'd like to base my solution on the most recent service pack.

    Hello Alberto!
    The installation framework does check for this. I'm also certain that these prerequisites are fulfilled. 
    When the SQL Server process hangs, I can kill the process, copy/paste the exact command that was executed from the installation framework's log files, and execute that command in a command prompt - and then the installation runs as expected.
    The installation framework installs SQL Server Express correctly if I use the 2008 R2 SP1 express or the 2012 SP1 Express installer. It's just the SP2 installer that is giving me problems.
    The only difference I can think of is that the installation framework is a 32-bit process, which calls the SQL Server installer, while the command prompt is a 64-bit application. I am installing the SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe
    from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43351, so it should be compatible with my 32 bit environment - 
     "SQLEXPR_x86 is the same product but supports installation onto both 32-bit and 64-bit (WoW) operating systems"
    Tomorrow, I will try:
    - Installing on Windows 7 32-bit
    - Trying to launch the SQL Server installer from a powershell (x86) prompt, to emulate a 32-bit environment on a 64-bit machine

  • How "hide" SQL Server Express 2012 from the network

    Hello
    I want to install SQL Server Express 2012 in my company-provided laptop. Since the service is going to "announce" itself on the network so that client can find it, I would like to know how to prevent the broadcasting, in such a way that my installation remains
    "hidden".
    Thanks a lot.

    Sudeepta,
    If the browser service was stopped named instances (unless specified on tcp port 1433) shouldn't connect. It was have to be specified as Hostname\InstanceName,PortNumber as part of the role for the browser service is named instance port lookup.
    EMoscosoCam,
    Sudeepta is correct though, the browser service is reponsible for best effort udp broadcast replies. It is also possible to keep the browser service running and use the "Hide Instance" feature in SQL Server Configuration Manager. Open up SSCM, expand SQL
    Server Network Configuration. Right-click on the instance to "hide" and choose properties. Under the Flags tab should be "Hide Instance", set this to yes.
    While both ways would work, the actual hiding on an instance is extremely hard with SQL Server due to port scanning. If better security around it is required you will have to work with your networking team to develop well defined firewall rules.

  • Cannot enter correct values in the SQL server express 2012 using labview

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to enter the 2D array I get from DAQ into the SQL server express 2012 using Labview. When I am run the software, it connects with the table but doesn't enter the correct values. It only enters the "0" for each column of the table. I have attached the VI as well as the screenshot from the database server. 
    I am also writing the same 2D array data into the text file and I get the correct readins there. 
    Is there something I am doing wrong here.

    If you had read the QL manuals or reference books, you would be aware SQL Server doesn't do multidimensional arrays.
    I prefer BLOBs or VARCHAR(MAXCHAR) as an alternative. I enter the values in formatted string values delimiter separated.
    But how to deal with multidimensional arrays. Well up to 3-5 you can use simple value for each "dimension". So the lowest dimension
    would be comma delimit. The next set of values and each succeeding set for each 2nd dimension values would have the "set" of values separated
    by a ":" or semicolon. For the third I use the ":" or colon to separate each 2D block of the 3rd dimension. This can all be easily reparsed
    with a multidimensional parser for the application. Should be simple to build. (e.g.. Use string arrays to parse the higher dimensions
    and numeric array for the lowest dimension). The VARCHAR(MAXCHAR) has an upper data bound of 2GB! If you have to save more
    than 3 dimensions for most all applications, you don't understand how best to analyze the test data and may want to give it more 
    thought to optimize the operation as well as the design, so it doesn't get too complex. By the way I use Data Clusters built in the
    data order and type as for SQL Server Data Table. This makes the design of the SQL Server interface easy as pie .

  • Is SQL Server Express 2012 the same as Enterprise, BI and Standard?

    We are a software company in the process of modifying code to work with SQL Server 2012 & 2014.  We are doing development work and testing on SQL Server Express 2012. (We plan to move to SQL Server Express 2014, soon.)  Is SQL Server Express
    the same code as Enterprise, BI and Standard?   Will our tests and dev work be valid?  Should the need arise at a customer site, will SQL Server Express database migrate to Enterprise, BI or Standard?

    Hello,
    Yes, you can use detach/attach or backup/restore. Alternatively, you may want to perform and edition upgrade
    of an existing SQL Server instance when possible.

  • When installing SQL Server is there a benefit to overriding the defaults for the Shared Feature Directory?

    When installing SQL Server under feature selection you are given the option to change the Shared feature directories. When you choose to change from the default OS drive it seems that the installation
    process still installs a large amount of files on the OS drive and then additional files under a similar drive structure on the alternative drive. Is there any real benefit to changing the default location?
    Additional is there benefit to changing the default location for the installed features, database engine etc. We are trying to create some clean templates that we can bring up in our production
    environment so we are provisioning separate drives for data, logs, backups, tempdbs but as we use the prepare image it seems like splitting the installation of sql server into two separate locations to safe minimally on file space seems counterproductive.
    I have searched for best practices and this area seems glossed over in most articles, I found a few that indicate later installation of features on a machine that use a non-standard shared component
    drive has caused issues. I would like to know there are  benefits to taking such actions.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dirk

    Hello,
    The best reason I can think about installing SQL Server binaries on another drive different than the system drive is the
    fact the page file (pagefile.sys) is located on the system drive by default. The more I/O I can prevent happening on that drive the better for the performance of operating system.
    SQL Server still installs some binaries on the system drive anyway, and creating a partition for SQL Server binaries alone
    may seem like a waste.
    Hope this helps.

  • SQL Server Express 2014 on Win8.1: Could not find the Database Engine startup handle

    Hello,
    I tried to follow all the similarly titled posts in this forum, yet no solution seems to work, so I hope I can find some up-to-date suggestion here (most of the older posts refer to versions from 2008 to 2012...).
    I have installed Visual Studio 2013 (with the latest Update 2 RC) on a freshly installed development workstation with Win 8.1 with all its updates. Now I'd want to install SQL Server 2014 Express, but the setup keeps failing with the dreaded "Could
    not find the Database Engine startup handle" error (the log follows below).
    What I tried:
    1) download again and repair. Same error.
    2) completely uninstall by launching setup.exe /Action=uninstall (success), then rebooting the OS, then installing again. Same error. I did this twice, the second time I also manually removed any directory left out in C:\Program Files etc.
    When I launch the setup, I select all the components for installation in the package SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe (1.12 GB, last downloaded today -Apr 3, 2014-), and accept all the defaults including the proposed services accounts. There is no preexisting
    SQL Server instance, as expected.
    The setup takes its time, and finally fails with the error quoted above. I really do not want to reformat my HD and fully reconfigure my workstation, which took about 3 days... Could anyone suggest a solution to have SQL Server 2014 setup so I can start
    developing instead of wasting time in administering the system?
    Thanks to all! The log follows.

    Thank you, it worked! I suppose that it was really your nr.3 which made the difference. I changed NT Service\MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS to NT AUTHORITY\System for the Data service. I'll then change it again as suggested (any suggestion about a "standard"
    account to be used here?), even if this is a development workstation using SQL Server Express only as a local database for debugging, so security is not really a big concern.
    Thanks for the feedback.Ya I know No3 was real step but just added more info so as to rule out any other possibility.
    No not as such, you wont believe,quite few pf my clients I have worked for keep it with local system and they have not complained yet ,they are afraid to change account as few of them faced issue SQL Server not coming online due to logon failure( after changing
    startup account to some domain a and that was happening due to some AD policy.But if you have nay plans to move Critical database in production which would be act as Database to some Internet facing application please follow my suggestion
    of running SQL Server with Least privileged domain account.

  • I can't see sql server express 2012 from ssms 2008 R2 -- what do I need to download?

    I'm running sql server 2008 R2 Developer on a win7 (pro) workstation.   I would like to keep this installation because it has SSRS and Analysis Server. But I was not able to attach a sql 2012 DB so I downloaded Sql Server Express 2012 (per the
    picture below - 1st option selected) and installed it.   Sql Server Express 2012 appears to be running -- per my services list, but I cannot see the instance in ssms 2008 R2. Do I need to uninstall Sql Server Express 2012 and then download another
    option (from the picture below)? How should I proceed so that I can have a working/workable instance of Sql Server Express 2012 that I can see in ssms (whatever required version) and also keep sql server 2008 R2?  which download should I select (from
    the picture below?
    Rich P

    Should I uninstall Sql server 2012 first?
    Rich P
    No you do not need to uninstall any thing
    >> Sql Server Express 2012 appears to be running -- per my services list, but I cannot see the instance in ssms 2008 R2.
    You need to just download SQL Server 2012 express management studio and use that to connect to SQL Server 2012. And use SSMS 2008 r2 to connect to SQL Server 2008 r2.
    This File :ENU\x64\SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe
    Although I guess SSMS 2012 express with SP2 would work just fine and you would connect to 2008 R2 database using that.

  • SQL Server Express 2012 Login Error

    I’m trying to access sql database from another PC on the LAN and I’m getting this error message “Login failed for user ‘Officeo1\Guest’. I’m using SQL Server Express 2012 and on the other PC I’m trying to connect with MS Visual Studio 2013. I’m adding a

  • Install SQL Server Express on Windows 8.1

    I've tried every version I can get my hands on (2008, 2012, 2014), and get errors of various kinds every time:  Just a few:
    - the service won't start with error 2146885628.
    - "An error occurred for a dependency of the feature causing the setup process for the feature to fail."
    - "Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed."
    I especially like this one during/after an install:
    What version should I use?  I just need some version, any version, to do some testing with.
    Second, where should I get it?  It seems every program on the web site has similar names, and the links all lead back onto each other.  An exact link would be very helpful.
    If I have to, I'll install with VirtualBox in Windows 7, even. 
    Thanks,
    --Al--

    I even made sure there were no services left running, in addition to uninstalling anything that even smelled of SQL in Control panel; captured another screenshot:
    As for that folder, how would one post it?  At the chance summary.txt would help:
