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.

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).

Do you have another instance of SQL Server installed?
Hope this helps.

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

Error Installing SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB on Windows 8.1 64-bit

TriSys Business Software

Hello,
Did you install .NET Framework 4.0 or enable .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 on Windows 8.1 which is requirement for SQL Server 2012?
SQL Server installs .NET 4.0 during the feature installation step. But if you are installing the SQL Server Express editions, ensure that an Internet connection is available on the computer. SQL Server Setup downloads and installs the .NET Framework 4
because it is not included in the SQL Server Express media.
In you case, please try to download and install
.NET Framework 4.0 or
.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and then run the SQL Server setup.exe again.

Fanny Liu

I need help installing SQL Server 2012 Express

I am very much an amateur. I got a new machine. The old one had Server 2008 R2 but the recommendation was that I need to move to 2012 Express.
When I moved to the new machine, the mover (LapLink) screwed up the version of 2008 R2. IOW, I now have to go forward and install 2012..
I downloaded all the 64 bit files (5 of them). When I start SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe, the process starts and then I'm given the choice of a new install or upgrade. I chose the new install. The process started and I got the following message ...
"Failed to retrieve data for this request.."
There are no hints anyplace as to what this means.
When I click "OK", a new status window pops up and proclaims that something is wrong. Then all activity stops.
I don't know what to do. I can't use either version and I really can't tell you much more to help me.

Raju,
Here is the log file, it shows some error codes, but I am unfamiliar with them.

SqlLocalDB.exe not Installed when sql Server 2012 Express (LocalDb Edition) is installed

I have been having a very frustrating time trying to connect to a localDB instance of SQL Server 2012. So I started again from scratch on another computer (Windows 7). I first installed sql server 2012 Express with tools (via ENU\x64\SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe)
and then installed the LocalDB Edition via sqlLocalDB.msi. The first installation seems to have gone OK. The second installation proceeded normally and finally advised that "Setup has installed SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB successfully."
A whole lot of files were installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, including sqlservr.exe. But the SqlLocalDB.exe utility was
not amongst them.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening here? From where can I download a copy of sqlLocalDB.exe

A whole lot of files were installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, including sqlservr.exe. But the SqlLocalDB.exe utility was
not amongst them.
The tool is located in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn

SQL Server 2012 express istallation failing to install "Database Engine Service" and "SQL Server Replication"

I ran SQL Server 2012 express setup as user with administrator privileges and still it's failing to install "Database Engine Service" and "SQL Server Replication".
Any and every ideas on how to resolve this issue is greatly appreciated.

Three weeks passed and I am yet to find a fix for the the failed installation of the database engine on sql server 2012 express installation. I have tried various work-around including uninstalling, deleting all the directory paths, and reinstallation. Still
not able to successfully install sql server 2012 express.
I will greatly appreciate any and every contribution towards resolving this issue. Thanks in advance.

SQL Server 2012 Express error 9002 while restoring a backup from 2008

Hi all,
I have installed SQL Server 2012 Express on my laptop operating with win 8. Then I took the backup in my old laptop with SQL Server 2008R Express / Windows 7 and tried to restore it to the new one.
After it restored it produced an error messaging saying that restore failed. The error code was 9002 and it says due to NOTHING. I checked the log file it is a file of 1024 kb size, not big. When I installed the SQL 2012 I disabled the autogrowth of the
log file (exactly same setting as I had with 2008) The log is not big. I tried to further shrink, no change.
Moreover the db is already there with full records, I can manipulate it. Even take a back w/o problems. What is this issue? Is it resolved?
thanks

an error messaging saying that restore failed. The error code was 9002
and it says due to NOTHING. I
select *
from sys.messages
where message_id = 9002
=> "The transaction log for database '%ls' is full due to '%ls'. "
Is your disk may low on free space?

Can't find ConfigurationFile.ini for SQL Server 2012 Express

Hello,
I installed SQL Server 2012 Express on my Windows 8.1 Pro laptop with an instance name of SqlExpress. However, when I try to find the ConfigurationFile.ini, I can't find it. I searched all the sub-folders under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup
Bootstrap\Log\, but there is no such file. I need this file for future silent installation on many other computers. Can anybody help with this issue?
Thanks,
Jay

For SQL Server Express edition you need to try with below parameters at the time of installation:

SQL Server 2012 Express on Window 8.1 64 bit version?

Hi,
I´m trying to install SQL Server 2012 Express on Windows 8.1 64 bit version. When I reach the point of "Installing Setup Files", of the installation process, the installation seems to halt. I´ve tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of SQL 2012
Express. I´ve installed SQL 2012 Express several times before on other Windows versions but I´ve never encountered this problem. Is it a known SQL Server 2012 Express/Windows 8.1 64 bit compability problem?
Thanks in advance!
Martin
