  • Error while installing SQL Server 2012 X64 SP2,

    Error while installing SQL Server 2012 X64 SP2,
     When I installed the SQL Server 2012 X64 SP1, I got the attached error.
     What might be the issue here?
     Thank you
     Best
    Jamal

    Hello,
    Are you trying to install SQL Server on a compressed or encrypted drive? SQL Server won’t install on a drive/folder with these attributes.
    Are you trying to install SQL Server on a ReFS file system? It is not supported on SQL Server 2012.
    Disable any security/antivirus software and download the media again. Mount the media (.ISO file) and try to install again.
    Hope this helps.

    If you are using any system account then password is not needed. From the screenshot I see NT Authority\....  so you don't need password.

  • NetFx3 error while installing SQL Server 2012 on windows 8 Pro

    I can't install SQL Server 2012 on my windows 8 Pro, every time I try I get this error: Error while trying to enable NetFx3 
    Can anyone help, please.

    Hi,
    Windows 8 does not include .NET 3.5 (include .NET 2.0 and 3.0) by default.
    1. We can make sure this feature is enabled by check in Program and Features.
    a. Go to Settings. Choose Control Panel then choose Programs.
    b. Click Turn Windows features on or off, and the user will see Windows feature window.
    c. You can enable this feature by click on .NET Framework 3.5 (include .NET 2.0 and 3.0) select it and click OK. After this step, it will download the entire package from internet and install the .NET Framework 3.5 feature.
    This option requires an Internet connection.
    2. As Alberto suggested, you can use the command to enable .NET Framework 3.5 (include .NET 2.0 and 3.0) feature in offline mode to avoid interruption before run SQL Server Setup.
    For your information:
    Installing the .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8 or 8.1

    $command +=('/BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Disabled"')

    Probably should be this:

    #Add Browser Account
    $command +=(' /BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Disabled"')
    #Add Backup path

    The product key was applied , but the install screen is being shown with the Product key i have provided and it is in editable mode.
    Is there any way i can hide this SQL server product key page ?
    The reason is we are including SQL setup in our application and as per Microsoft policy we should not reveal the product key to user. If we are able to hide this from installing page , we can hide the installation command in some exe.
    Note : Customers need fulfledged versions so we can't install SQLExpress.

    Hello,
    Could you try using /Q or /QS parameter?
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259(v=sql.110).aspx
    Hope this helps.

  • SQL SERVER 2012 EXPRESS EDITION

    Good Day;
    May I know if sql server 2012 express edition is compatible with visual basic 2008 express edition? thank you!

    Hello,
    Compatible in which way? There is no direct relation between Visual Studio and SQL Server, from .NET you can connect to any Version of SQL Server.

  • Overlapped I/O error 997 installing SQL Server 2014 Express on Windows Server 2012 R2

    I'm attempting to install SQL Server 2014 Express on a Windows Server 2012 R2 system. When I do the install, it fails (several times) with an "Error: 997. Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.". From searching the web, I can see many people
    have had this problem with this installer and other non-SQL server installers.
    I've tried every solution I can find discussed, but none help with my problems The system is fully updated, with the exception of the KB2538243 (VC 2008 SP1 redist), which is probably failing for the same reason.
    I've tried removing several updates mentioned in other articles (KB2918614). I've confirmed that I'm not using a temporary profile.
    Does anyone have an idea of how I can solve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Zack

  • Error Installing SQL SERVER 2012 Express

    Hello Everyone, i have this problem:
    When i try to install SQL SERVER Express 2012 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64b, appears the error "Can't fin registry key (MSDTC)", i try to follow the instructions of other forums, but the file "msdtc.exe" not found in the computer.
    Then i try to copy from other computer but only i have Windows 8, and doesn't Work (The copy).
    Also I install SQL Server 2012, but the services doesn't start, I think it's for the same error, then I uninstall the SQL server Again.
    I search in the net, but nobody reports the file "msdtc.exe" not exits in the OS, then I think, Ii have the unique computer that don't have the file????
    Please somebody answer my question, where i could find the file msdtc.exe for download?, this file will fix the problem?
    Sorry for my english.
    Thank you all.

    Could you please check if you have any service call "Distributed Transaction Coordinator" in services.msc

  • Problem Installing SQL Server 2012 Express

    Hello
    I'm in the process of installing SQL Server 2012 and the install is continually failing. It reports to possibly be a problem with the package; I've tried downloading three times now and setup has failed each time. There is a link below to the install log
    file which I believe will likely be more help than my attempting to describe the symptoms but please let me know if there is any additional information which would help in finding the problem.
    https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=9ACB131B26E0E088!514&authkey=!ABuTadbr92UTFpo
    Thanks in advance. 

    Hello,
    “Error Code: 29559
    The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with the package. The error code is 29559”
    Let’s try to work around the issue on a different way. Please try to download the following Evaluation Copy of SQL Server 2012, run setup, and on the “Product Key” page select
    Express Edition (on the “Specify a free edition” combo box).
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29066
    Do you have another instance of SQL Server installed?
    Hope this helps.
