Unable to run sql server 2012 setup

Hi All,
  I installed SharePoint 2013 on Application Server and Database(Sql Server 2012) on another server. But for reporting application I need to install some components of SQL on Application Server as well. When I try to run the installer it crashes and
shows this below dialog box. 
When I debug this I get the below error.
I saw some suggestions saying it won't work with Remote Desktop so directly connected the monitor to the server and tried to install but nothing works again. Let me know if I am doing anything wrong.
Thanks,

Hi,
Did you install the .net framework 4.0?
Meanwhile, for the SQL issue, i think you may ask in SQL forums:

  • Unable to uninstall sql server 2012 from Windows 7(ultimate) 64-bit SP1 version.

    I am trying to install sql sever 2012 on my m/c but it's giving me error after partial installation.
    Now I have successfully installed Sql Server 2008 R2 on my machine but when I am trying to uninstall 2012 sql server from my machine its giving an error regarding unsupported OS. However as mentioned earlier I have Windows 2007 Ultimate SP1 (64-bit) installed
    on my machine which is included in valid platform for sql server 2012. Also I installed visual studio 2013 on my machine but it existed with error SqlServer\LocalDB not installed.

    Hi pritamk,
    According to your error message, as other post, you can uninstall SQL Server from command line, inaddition, another workaround is that change the compatibility mode of setup.exe to Vista SP2, then run “Remove” option from the control panel. You can refer
    to the following steps.
    Browse to your SQL setup bootstrap folder, For SQL Server 2012, this is the path "C:\Program Files \Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2012\".
    Go to Setup.exe file and right click on Setup.exe. Then go to properties and click on "Compatibility" tab. Under "Compatibility mode", click on Run this program in compatibility mode for "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)". Then Click on "Apply" then "OK".
    After that go to control panel -> Programs and Features -> and remove SQL Server 2012
    There is similar issue about uninstalling SQL Server 2012 RC0 from control panel. You can review the following post.

  • 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.
    4. You could use third-party tool such as Automatic Error Fix Tool to fix your vsjitdebugger.exe error. However, Microsoft cannot make any representations regarding the quality, safety, or suitability of any third-party software or information found there.
    In addition, if you are unable to install  Visual Studio, I suggest you post your question in Visual Studio Setup and Installation forum at
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=vssetup  . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

    This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
    ODP.NET needs to be installed on the client. OraOps9.dll is part of ODP.NET, not the Oracle Client.
    Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
    If an application is built with 10g ODP.NET, it can be run with 9.2 ODP.NET as long as you do not use any 10g APIs. The new features in 10g ODP.NET are included in the doc and the ODP.NET FAQ for your reference.

  • Unable to install SQL Server 2012 Developer

    I have a problem with installing SQL Server 2012 (no matter which edition I choose). Installation usually runs well, but near the end shows up an error:
    TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 Setup
    The following error has occurred:
    Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed. Check the SQL Server error log for potential causes.
    For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft%20SQL%20Server&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=50000&ProdVer=11.0.3128.0&EvtType=0xD15B4EB2%25400x4BDAF9BA%25401306%254026
    BUTTONS:
    OK
    The help link points to not-existing article on MSDN page. After I click OK button, the installation reaches it's end and shows up another, which tells, that Database Engine Services, Reporting Services - Native, Data Quality Services, Full-Text and Semantic
    Extractions for Search and SQL Server Replication failed to install.
    After that I am able to start, for example SQL Management Studio, but cannot connect to database. Also services of SQL Server (Server, Server Agent, Full-text Filter, Reporting Services) are stopped and I am not able to start them manually (any try throws an
    error: "The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details").
    I tried complete reinstalling of SQL Server, cleaning registry entries, different editions of that software - none method helped. Also, I tried the .iso images of installation media on other computers - it worked well and installed without any errors. My OS
    is Windows 8.1 x64.

    Hello,
    Please uninstall SQL server completely from add remove program.Make sure you uninstall it completely
    Now right click on Setup.exe file which is there in SQL Server installable and select run as administrator to start installation.
    On page where you are asked to provide startup account for SQL Server service select NT Authority\System or Local System account.
    This issue is basically after installation SQL Server is not able to bring online database services using account which you selected .Local system account will allow it to come online
    After installation change startup account to domain account with least privilege
    Hope this helps

    Hi,
    I would like to add that if you see summary.txt file you would see
    Message:
    Unable to generate a temporary class (result=1).
    error CS0009: Metadata file 'c:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System\2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089\System.dll' could not be opened -- 'File is corrupt'
    HResult : 0x84b10001
    FacilityCode : 1201 (4b1)
    ErrorCode : 1 (0001)
    You can see file is corrupt. So either you have to download the setup file again or there can be chance that Antivirus caused some issue.
    Plus if you see starting of summary.txt you could see
    Requested action: LandingPage
    The error message came while landing page was being loaded/or was in action so again I think it is some thing related to corrupt media or antivirus.
    Please
    1. Download ISO file again and extract using WINRAR, don't use Winzip
    2. Disable Antivirus.
    3. Make a new folder and extract installable there.

  • Unable to install sql server 2012

    I am trying to install sql server 2012. I need it to run a trial version of Xactimate. I get the following error during the installation process on the SQL Server Installation Center box : The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that
    is unavailable. Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'sqlbrowser.msi' in the box below.
    Use source:     c:\9bc690235b2703df7a6704fa\1033_ENU_LP\x86\setup\

    Hello,
    Based on the following Xactware support document from two years ago (2012), Xactimate supports SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008.
    The document does not say Xactimate supports SQL Server 2012.
    http://www.xactware.com/pdf/27/xactimate-27.5-network-install-guide.pdf
    As mentioned on page #3 of the installation guide (above link), “If you do not already have SQL Server Express installed on your server,
    you can use the version of SQL Server Express that is available on your Xactimate Version 27 DVD. Xactware recommends you use the Xactimate Setup—Network batch file. When you use this batch file, the Xactware instance is automatically created, the network
    protocols are enabled, and the correct user name and password is set.”
    Hope this helps.

  • SQL Server 2012 stops running after setup files are copied.

    SQL Server 2012 setup stops running after setup files are copied.
    I've experiencing the same issue on two different machines. Both are 64 bit running Server 2008.
    On both of them I tried installing using the files from the ISO. I initially used winzip to extract the files. The setup was running fine, but the SQL Server engine had an error when it installed. Then using the Add/Remove programs i uninstalled all of the
    SQL Server 2012 applications, including the setup files.
    Now when i try to install using the "New SQL Server stand-alone..." wizard it will copy the setup files and then the wizard never comes back. I've tried mounting the ISO, extracting with winrar, Burning the ISO to a dvd and downloading the 3 files. I also
    tried mounting ISO of the version that was just recently released. I run into the same issue with all of them.
    Thanks for the help.

    can you try 
     setup.exe
    /Action=install /x86 /UpdateEnabled=false
    If this doesn't work please use below FAQ to locate and upload SQL Server setup logss.

  • Unable to protect SQL Server after adding SQL Aliases

    DPM 2012 R2 had been successfully backing up a Server 2012 R2 virtual machine running SQL Server 2012 SP2 with 3 databases. It had been working properly for several months, the Virtual Machine is running on a Hyper-V Cluster.
    Approximately a week ago we configured aliases for the various SQL databases to provide better resiliency in case of server failure.  IE, instead of connecting to SQL as ServerName\DatabaseA, you could connect to just DatabaseADNS.  Doing so we
    had to add extra IP addresses to the server's adapter.  Initially all the addresses were registering in DNS and Named Pipes was disabled in SQL Configuration Manager for the Databases so it led to some connection difficulties when trying to connect to
    the named instances (ServerName\DatabaseA).  We resolved this so that while the server's adapter has multiple IP address there is only one DNS entry for the ServerName and one entry for each Database in DNS.  Named pipes is enabled so SQL Manager
    can connect properly.
    Since Aliases were applied however DPM began failing on 2 of the 3 Databases.  It was unable to create recovery points.
    The connection to the DPM agent on the SQL Server is OK, but if you try to modify a protection group and browse to the SQL Server when you expand it it just displays an hourglass and will not error out or display ANY sources to backup.  Even after several
    hours.
    We stopped protection of all items on the SQL Server, uninstalled the DPM agent, restarted, re-installed the DPM agent, restarted.  Restarted DPM Server, and are still unable to protect ANY items of the SQL Server. 
    There are no errors in the event logs on either server I could find.  And I've watched the DPMRA service start on the SQL Server when the DPM Server attempts to query it, so there is some communication.  Any help would be appreciated as I am at
    a loss.

    After much testing and troubleshooting a solution was found.  Our configuration is apparently a perfect storm of settings that cause DPM issues.  Our SQL Server has multiple NICs (if one is disabled it begins working) Our SQL Server's multiple
    instance are all using the default port 1433 (if ports are set differently it works), and we are using TCP aliases for more than one instance (if only one, it works)
    Each instance in SQL Config manager is assigned a unique IP address, so our production NIC has multiple IPs, set this nic to NOT register in DNS.  Manually create a Static DNS entry for the server and each alias IP address.
    In SQL Config manager set a Named Pipe alias for each instance.  Be sure to do both 32 and 64 bit aliasing.
    On the SQL Server run cliconfg.exe and enable both TCP/IP and Named Pipe protocols.
    And DPM can now enumerate and backup the server again.
