Unable to install SQL 2012 Enterprise on Windows 8.1 OS

I had installed SQL 2012 Enterprise on my Windows 8.1 and was running successfully. I faced some SSRS & SSIS Authentication issue. So i decided to uninstall SQL and re-install it. On doing so, i am unable to install it.
Wizard disappears from this screenshot onwards.
Tried installing from Command Prompt.
Setup.exe /q /ACTION=Repair /INSTANCENAME=instancename /IAcceptSqlserverLicenseTerms=true
Still wizard disappears.

Hello,
I guess un-installation of SQL server is not complete and there are fragments remaining.Have you made sure you have uninstalled SQL server from add remove program completely.Make sure no features related to SQL server are present there.Please remove setup
support files as well.Refer below link to remove it completely

If you face any issue below manual method for removing SQL server will be helpful
1. Uninstall the existing SQL Server 2012 and all the components from the control panel.
    2. Backup the registry.
    3. Delete the following keys in regedit:
    --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
    --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
    4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and delete all the sub-keys referencing SQL Server.
    5. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and delete all the keys referencing SQL Server.
    6. Rename all the SQL Server folders in the computer.
    7. Reboot the machine.
Revert if you face any issue.

Unable to install SQL Server 2012 along with BIDS & VS 2012 on Windows 7

Unable to install SQL Server 2012 along with BIDS & VS 2012 on Windows 7 professional.
I get the below error
Could not find vsjitdebugger.exe
Blogs say anti-virus is stopping but I dont have one on the system.
Note: I had used SQL 2008 on the system previously and has a refresh i have deleted all the software to speed up the system.
Now i could not install both the software.
Can I get some help regarding this?

Hi Nandu,
As your description, you come across an error(vsjitdebugger.exe cannot be found). Please confirm if the error occurs during the installation of SQL Server 2012. If so, please help post SQL Server setup logs. By default, SQL Server setup log file locates
in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
Base on my research, this error could be caused by that the previous uninstallation is improper and vsjitdebugger.exe file could be mistakenly deleted.
To troubleshoot the issue, you could start your computer into Safe Mode and fix your problem with one of the following methods. For more information, please refer to the article:
http://www.fixerrorkit.com/fix-error/fix-vsjitdebugger.exe-error.html.
1. You could execute the sfc /scannow command following steps below.
a. Press "Windows+R", type in cmd and then right click "Run as administrator"
b. Type in sfc /scannow (There's a space between sfc and /scannow) into the dialog and hit Enter key and click ok.
c. Wait until the System File Checker finishes the check.
2. You could use a Windows repair installation, also known as a Startup Repair to repair your Windows system files.
3. You could install the latest Windows updates to fix vsjitdebugger.exe error. Microsoft often releases new service packs and system patches to replace or update some DLL files of Windows system.

Unable to install SQL Server 2014 Express LocalDb on Windows 8.1 Update 1

Apologies if this is not the right place or this has been posted before (I looked and didn't find anything)
I am unable to install SQL Server 2014 Express LocalDb on Windows 8.1 Update 1, as I get an 'Operating System not Supported' error message right away.
What can I do to get this working?

Hi Zgreve,
Usually, from
hardware and software requirements for installing SQL Server 2014, we can install SQL Server Express version on the Windows 8.1. For more information, see:
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express.
Before you install SQL Server 2014 Express version, you should ensure installing the .NET Framework 4, then run as administrator for the SQL Server setup.exe again.
There is a similar detail about install SQL Server Express LocalDB via GUI and command line. You can also review the following steps.
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2694/getting-started-with-sql-server-2012-express-localdb/
If the same error about OS still exists, I recommend you submitting a feedback to Microsoft such issues at
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback, Your feedback enables Microsoft to offer the best software and deliver superior services, meanwhile you can learn more about and contribute to the
exciting projects on Microsoft Connect.

Hi,
I have installed SQL 2012 sp2 x64 onto the main service manager 2012 database, but it fails on the datawarehouse SQL server. Both are going from SP1 to SP2. Servers are running windows server 2012 sp1 x64.
On the datawarehouse server it gets so far and then just displays a message of completed, with all the other fields blank.

Hello,
Open the errorlog file on the following path C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log. There
you will find a more descriptive error.
I received that error before. The workaround I used is contained on the following article:

Please help As i am running out of time as i have to upgrade TFS for that first step is to install SQL server.

Hello,
The following are a few things you can try:
Copy the media to the local disk drive, unzip it (in case you are installing from an ISO file, and run SQL Server setup from there.
Try to unregister and register the Windows Installer with the following two commands:
msiexec /unregister
msiexec /regserver
Try to use Process Monitor to log the detailed error produced when the installation of dw20sharedamd64.msi fails. You can download Process Monitor from the following link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
Share with us the error captured by Process Monitor.
Hope this helps.

Unable to get SQL Server Agent to run after installing SQL 2012 Standard with SP1

I am unable to get SQL Server Agent to run after installing SQL 2012 Standard with SP1. Log message is as follows:
Attempting to load library 'xplog70.dll' into memory. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
Failed to verify Authenticode signature on DLL 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\xplog70.dll'.
Error: 17750, Severity: 16, State: 0.
Could not load the DLL xplog70.dll, or one of the DLLs it references. Reason: (null).

Hi JFriedley,
According to your error message, there might three reasons for this issue.
xplog70.dll is corrupt, you need to check if you have any SQL Server running on same file version and same production
edition. If xplog70.dll is corrupt, you can copy it from the new server where agent is running fine to your problematic server.
Native client not installed properly. If you try applying any latest Service Pack or Cumulative Update then check if the SQL Server Agent can start, if that also doesn’t solve issue then try to reinstalling SQL Server Native client from SQL Server setup
files.
There is a similar issue about error 17750, you can review the following article.

Slient install of Sql 2012 enterprise fails 'MEDIALAYOUT' is invalid"

I'm trying to install SQL 2012 using the config file. It's failing and reporting 'MEDIALAYOUT' is invalid. The problem is that this isn't even a parmater that exists in the file. I know it's finding the file, because it I put a bogus file name there, it
complains and says "invalid file". So i think it's reading the file, doesn't like something in there, then it kicks out this erroneous error that means nothing. I've looked in the event logs, see nothing.
Has anybody seen this before? It not, is there any other log file I can look at that will tell me specifically what might be wrong?
.\setup.exe \ConfigurationFile=ConfigurationFile.ini
The specified value for setting 'MEDIALAYOUT' is invalid. The expected values are:None, Core, Advanced, Full
THX

Can you make sure that the config file is valid and comment lines are not text wrapped.

Installing SQL 2012 Ent (MSDN Ver) with Sysprep

Hi folks,
I've been trying to create template VMs on Windows Server 2008 R2 with SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise and SQL 2012 Enterprise available on them (Sysprepped installs of SQL). So, I'm creating one template for 2008 and another for 2012; not both on the same
template. I was able to create the 2008 R2 template with little issue. However, after completing the advanced install of SQL 2012 and rebooting, I was unable to complete the install process because the serial number is defaulting to all zeros (normally
this copy of SQL 2012 would embed the license key, as it did for the 2008 R2 install). Here's a link to the process that I followed for 2012 - ( could not embed link, please refer to TechNet article titled 'Install SQL Server 2012 Using SysPrep').
All software / hardware is 64 bit for sake of this question. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas around this conundrum?
Thanks,
Sean Donovan

Hi,
According to the description, I understand that during Complete Image step, the product key is empty rather than the embed the key. You followed
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210664.aspx.
I suggest you try starting the ‘complete image’ from the installation media instead of starting it from the shortcut being created in the ‘prepare image’ step and see if it resolves the issue.
Thanks.
