Installing SQL Server on Windows 8.1 Enterprise

I have tried to install SQL Sever 2012 Developer Edition five times on Windows 8.1 Enterprise.
I get this error:
Could not find the Database Engine startup handle
What could be causing this problem?
(Update: I just seen I have been trying to install SQL Server 2012 32-bit and not 64-bit. Could this be the problem?)
Hello,
This error generally points out to fact that account which you are using is not able to start database engine after installation or in between.There can be quite few reasons for that.I would like you to paste log file for failed installation using below
link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143702.aspx
Please make sure all previous failed installations are removed completely.
If possible create a new ID add it into local windows administrator and then try installation with that ID.Or you can login in windows with that ID .Go to setup files RK on Set.up.exe and select run as administrator
Please mark this reply as the answer or vote as helpful, as appropriate, to make it useful for other readers

Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation error while installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise edition on Windows Server 2012 R2 standard VM server

I've been trying fresh installation of SQL Server 2008 R2 enterprise on Windows Server 2012 R2 standard VM server several times for two weeks, but always get the error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation". At first, I attempted
to install all features, but failed several times. So I decided to try install just Database Engine service, and still fail at the SqlBrowserConfigAction_Install_ConfigNonRC_Cpu32, with the error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation".
I remote login to server with my admin domain account. This account is in server local Administrators group. I
1. Right-click on setup.exe file | properties | Compatibility tab | select compatibility to Windows 8.Then click OK.
2. Right-click on setup.exe file | Run as Administrator, to start the Installation Center.
I have the document of my installation steps and zip file of the installation logs, if you need to take a look.
Appreciate for any help!
ntth

Hi ntth,
"Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation"
The above error is always related to the Windows account SID mapping. I recommend you login into Windows using another Windows account which has administrative privileges and run SQL Server setup using that Windows account.
Besides, please note that we need to apply SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 or a later update when installing SQL Server Windows Server 2012 R2. For more information, please review this
KB article.

Installing Sql Server 2012 Enterprise edition on Windows 7

Hello,
I have a desktop with 1 TB Hard Disk and 8GB RAM. It has Windows 7 installed. I want this to be used as staging server at my work. I installed the SQL Server 2012 Enterprise edition. While installing I used service accounts as default when prompted
which I normally do while installing on a desktop. But now I want this to be used as a server where people can access this box as they do on a sql server machine .i.e. connect to server using SSMS and get to databases on the server and also remote
desktop into this machine. So, Is it fine to install with default service accounts?
Also how can I connect to this newly installed sql server box from another desktop using SSMS?
Thank You.

Hello,
Installation of SQL server 2012 Enterprise edition on Client machine(Win 7) is not supported( you can install ) .See below for Hardware and Software requirements for SQL Server 2012.You cannot claim support from Microsoft and I guess statging
is also important.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx
Now to your main question.To connect
Makes sure Browser service is running
Make sure you make exception in firewall for SQL Server services and incoming connections
Make sure you specify correct instance name when connecting from remote

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.
Thanks,

Hi,
I am unable to install sql server express edition with management tools, on windows server 2003. During rules check, it gives an error that minimum os version is not supported.
.net framework requirements have been met.
Is there something that I am missing ? Any pointers would be of immense help
