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.

    Hi friends,
    i have tried to install ms sql 2012 on windows 8.1 pro 64 bit  but it got failed due to the following error 1406 Could not write value  to key \SOFTWARE.   Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.. 
     I had run the set up file as administrator. I have ony one user account on my laptop. I have seen in the regestry about permission of user. There is full control to the user. I have also tried the solution related to this issue that are available in
    this forum and other.
    I have also attache the detail.txt log file here
    So i am heartily requesting you guys if you have the solution then please post your solution as soon as possible. 
    Thanks in  advance!!!

    Looks like this is a permission issue with account you logged in in your operating system or account if any you chooses to run you SQL Server installation . Or for executing setup file try using run as administrator.

  • 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

    Hello,
    Open the configuration file with notepad, then go to the “features” variable. On the following article you will find what
    means each parameter:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259(v=sql.110).aspx#Feature
    You will also find the list of features supported by each edition on the following article:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Cc645993(v=sql.110).aspx
    For example, it seems you have DQ and DQC on that configuration file, please remove them with their corresponding commas.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,

    Thanks Albert that worked when I just selected the main features and excluded ones like DQ and DRC. Thing is why would the standard media allow you to install enterprise features, create a configuration file with these enterprise features and then fail?? Why
    would Microsoft tease you like that? Frustrating since I spent hours on this ..

    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:
    http://www.sqlcoffee.com/Troubleshooting112.htm
    Hope this helps.

  • SQL 2012 SP1 fails to complete, Repair Install fails

    Somewhere, SQL 2012 stopped running.  This is developer copy.  I believe also that SP1 was trying to install and found that SQL Engine was not running.  In attempts to repair, I use the DVD and the repair process.   But that stalls/dies
    because SP1 is still not completed in install.  Deadlock.  I was attempting to repair, restore Master but cannt get pass the SP install hang.  Any thoughts on how to stop SP1 install, avoid hang and use DVD repair install?

  • SQL 2012 Enterprise SP1 installation for SCCM 2012 R2

    I am just starting to install SQL 2012 with SP1 Enterprise for SCCM 2012 R2.
    Does anyone have a step by step guide for this install please
    I am planning to install SQL 2012 with SP1 Enterprise as a physical install which I intend to geo cluster later on
    Also I am thinking of installing WSUS on a separate server and get my SCCM 2012 servers (1 primary and 3 secondary) to use this server - would appreciate some help on how this can be setup as well

    That doesn't make sense to me. Both versions are fully supported on virtual and physical platforms.
    Also, I'm with Garth - local SQL all the way.
    Here are my thoughts on the subject
    http://www.gerryhampsoncm.blogspot.ie/2013/10/configmgr-sql-some-tips.html
    ConfigMgr is not a real-time product like Exchange, for example. A certain amount of downtime can be tolerated. I would spend more time implementing a robust backup solution, rather than trying to implement high availability.
    You should be able to recover a ConfigMgr site from SQL backup in a couple of hours.

  • SCOM 2012 R2 Report Server component install to SQL 2012 Sp1 error?

    Hi All
    Im having issues installing SCOM 2012 R2 Report Server component to a SQL 2012 Sp1 Server (which is a Windows 2012 R2 Standard server).  Im trying to install to the SQL Default server instance, note that the server also has a named instance
    which hosts the SCOM databases.  SQL Reporting Services is up and running fine (can access the web urls etc).  Im also using the SCOM install account wich has full SQL and SCOM Server admin rights for the install.  Ive checked that the Firewall
    is off locally on the SQL Server, Ive also checked that the existing SCOM components are all in a Healthy state in the SCOM console.
    The installed version of SQL Server could not be verified or is not supported. Verify that the computer and the installed version of SQL Server meet the minimum requirements for installation, and that the firewall settings are correct. See the Supported
    Configurations document for further information.
    Ive attempted the install on a standalone SQL Server away from the SQL Server hosting the SCOM databases, but encounter the same error.  The full SCOM MSI Installer log details are below, line that appears most relevant is below but unsure why
    this would be the case (same account that I used for SQL install etc).  Any help much appreciated! : )

    The issue is SQL report server database related, I would like to suggest you create a new report database for SCOM and then check the reuslt. Please refer to the below links and follow it to set up SCOM 2012 R2:

    SCCM 2012 R2                         SQL 2012 SP1 SSRS installed and configured (separate boxes)
    When I try to add the reporting services role, it finds the SCCM database and verifies connectivity to it, the SSRS instance drop down is blank.
    Using a domain service accout with local admin rights on both machines and sa rights in SQL.
    There is a firewall between the Primary Server and the SQL Server and ports 80, 135, 443, 445, 1433 and the high RPC range.
    Does anyone know how it is determining the instance?  I have read it is via WMI but I am not sure if it is a query or executing a method.  I have verified the svc acct has the correct DCOM privs.

    Hi,
    How are things going? Please let us know if there is any progress.

  • SQL 2012 Enterprise (Evaluation) - To Enterprise Core (Licensed) Edition Upgrade Warning on Always-On

    Hi all,
    I am need to do an Edition Upgrade on a SQL Server 2012 Enterprise (evaluation) to a licensed version of the Enterprise version. We do already have set-up Always on Availability Groups, however when I want to perform the Edition Upgrade I receive the following
    warning:
    The AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature is enabled on this instance of SQL Server and it is not supported in the edition being changed to. Before proceeding, disable AlwaysOn Availability Groups on the server instance. For more information, see SQL Server
    Books Online.
    I am using the correct media, as well if I need to accept the license terms I can see it's the Enterprise Core edition, so I am wondering why I receive this message. And of course I did not proceed, because I do not want to loose my availability groups.

    Hi Hans,
    Personally, according to the
    features supported by the editions of SQL Server 2012, it is support on AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature on the Enterprise version. In theory, the AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature is supported on the Enterprise version after upgrading. 
    About this warning, if it is in test environment, we can do a test and check if the warning will effect AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature. Or
    I recommend to submit it to the Microsoft Connect at this link
    https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback. So that a dedicated Support Professional can assist
    you in a more efficient manner.
    Thanks for your understanding.
    Thanks,

  • SCOM 2012 R2 installing on SQL 2012 SP1 - Error Code: 0x80131904, Exception.Message: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

    Hi,
    I am getting an issue during a SCOM 2012 R2 installation while creating the SCOM DataWarehouse database. Setup seems to timeout during creating the datawarehouse database. I can see all database files created in windows explorer on the SQL server before
    setup rolls the SCOM install back.
    Has anyone seen this issue before or know how to help resolve it?
    Appreciate your help, below is the SCOM installation log:

    Hi,
    Based on the log, I recommend you use the following way to test SQL connectivity.
    You can use a UDL file to test various connectivity scenarios, create a simple text file, rename the extension from TXT to UDL, fill out the necessary information on the connection tab then test the connection, and troubleshoot as necessary
    if it fails to connect.
    For more information, please review the link below:

    Hi
    I've fixed this finally - at least for me!
    It appears that if your assembly is using an assembly that has been marked as 'unsafe' - such as the DirectoryServices one - then your own assembly must be set to 'unsafe' as well. I changed a number of things in Visual Studio to this affect and then re-published
    and the error went away and it all works fine now, AD from SQL server! However, I didn't use any of the manual scripted key generation code though that you used. The only T-SQL I used in this whole project was this...
    ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase SET TRUSTWORTHY ON
    GO
    IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.assemblies WHERE [name] = 'System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement')
    BEGIN
    CREATE ASSEMBLY [System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement]
    FROM 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.dll'
    WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE
    END
    And these are the steps to what I changed in Visual Studio...
    1) First right click on the project in the solution explorer to get the project settings tabs up...
    2) Under the 'Project Settings' tab click on the 'Database Settings' button, when the dialog comes up goto the 'Miscellaneous' tab and tick the 'Trustworthy' option (even if you've set the database as trustworthy in SQL server using T-SQL still do this,
    wouldn't work for me until I did this as well)
    3) Next under the 'SQLCLR' tab set the assembly permission level to 'UNSAFE'
    4) Lastly (not sure if this is required) still under the 'SQLCLR' tab click on the 'Signing' button and create a new strong name key file, call it anything and click ok and make sure that it's now showing as the selected strong name key file. Probably a
    security risk but hey. Then don't forget to click ok!
    5) Save everything and rebuild, then publish to your database and test again - hopefully it works!
    Good luck

  • SQL 2012 SP1 Enterprise (SSRS in SharePoint mode): Reporting Services scale-out deployment is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services

    Hello,
    SSRS in SharePoint mode is driving me insane.
    We are recreating a SharePoint 2013 (SP1) farm in a test environment with the following set-up:
    2 SP Web FrontEnds
    2 SP Application Servers
    1 SQL Server
    At both SP APP Servers, we installed SSRS (SQL 2012 Enterprise w/ SP1) in SP integrated mode.
    We managed to start the SSRS SP service at the first SP APP Server. However when we try to start it on the second APP Server, we get the following error:
    "Reporting Services scale-out deployment is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. This edition only supports one instance of the SQL Server Reporting Services Service in the farm.  The SQL Server Reporting Services service cannot
    be started on this server unless it is stopped on all other servers in the farm. "
    Now I can't stress this enough: This is a SQL Server 2012 SP1 Enterprise. This is the image we got from our MSDN subscription. There is no mistake here.
    Could someone please advise why SP might think this version of SSRS is not the correct one?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    P.

    Hello,
    I'm afraid that is not it.
    After a long, frustrating and strenuous investigation and troubleshooting, we found the problem.
    The problem is the current ISO for SQL Server 2012 Enterprise SP1 (x64) found at MSDN. Bear in mind that we downloaded this ISO from MSDN about a month ago.
    As soon as we recreated the environment using the ISO for SQL Server 2012 Enterprise SP2 (x64) found at MSDN, everything worked as expected -- and that includes running more than one SSRS in SharePoint mode.
    Also bear in mind that we tried updating the SQL SP1 install with SP2 and subsequent cumulative updates but that never fixed the problem.
    There is something fundamentally wrong with that ISO with SP1 slipstreamed in it that no matter the subsequent updates installed, SSRS in SharePoint mode fails to work properly on a multi-server environment. We went as far as SP2 with CU3 and nothing seemed
    to fix the problem. And yes, we also performed manual updates to the SSRS and PowerPivot SharePoint MSI add-ins.
    I am shocked and distraught to find out that I lost hours of work due to a dodgy ISO image.
    Regards,
    P.

    Hello,
    Please enable .NET Framework 3.5 using Control Panel -> Programs and Features. If you have it already enabled, please repair it using
    the following tool:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30135
    Open the Command Prompt as Administrator and run the following command:
    winmgmt /verifyrepository
    The result of the command should be “WMI Repository is consistent”.
    SQL Server cannot be installed on a compressed or encrypted drive.
    You need to run SQL Server setup with a Windows account with administrative privileges.
    Hope this helps.
