Help with installing sql server 2012 upgrade advisor

Hello there,
I have two questions here:
1. My sql server 2005 is on Window Server 2003/SP2. Does this mean I cannot install sql server 2012 upgrade advisor on it? This page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144256.aspx)
cites that the supported OS are "Windows Vista SP1, or SP2, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2."
2. I tried to install the upgrade advisor on my local machine (windows 7, 64-bit). Even after I installed "Microsoft SQL Server Transact-SQL ScriptDom ", I still got the error message "Setup is missing prerequisites: - Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Transact-SQL
ScriptDom, which is not installed by Updgrade Advisor Setup........" Why is that?
Thank you for your help in advance!

Hello,
Have you installed .NET Framework 4.0 also?
Make sure you installed Transact-SQL ScriptDom from the following link:

Link to download Sql Server 2012 "Standard Edition"

We have purchased Sql Server 2012 “Standard” edition license. Looking for the link to download of installation software for 2012 “Standard” edition. Have tried
a lot but could only found - the “enterprise” evaluation copy.
Looking for urgent help on this. Thanks.

Thanks for the update.
1. Would like to check if it is possible to download Sql Server 2012 “Standard" Edition straight away rather than doing a two step install?
2. Assuming we do a two step install - during upgrade once we specify the license key, would it ask whether we need to change edition to standard/ enterprise or it automatically determines the edition based on the value of the license key?
Hi,
1.Do you have MSDN subscription ? You can download from MS link directly if you have one. Please ask the vendor who provided you with License he would be best person to call.
2. On license page you just have to enter license key that's it , after that SQL Server just knows what it has to do. It does not asks you anything about license it just proceeds

Problems using SQL Server 2014 upgrade advisor on a windows 2008 sp2 server

I got sql server 2014 upgrade advisor up and running on a windows 2012 vm and every thing works fine, but I am having trouble installing it locally for a SSRS Box. The SSRS box is running windows 2008 sp2 enterprise edition, but when I try
and run the SQLUA.msi install nothing happens.
anyone else experience this issue?

Hi jesse,
Welcome to the forum :-)
Can you please clarify your issue in more details. I did not understand what you are doing. What do you mean by "installing it locally for a SSRS Box". Do you mean that you are trying a simple installation which do not work, and raise an error?
If so then (1) we dont need the extra information about "why you need the SQL Server" :-) we just need to help you install it regardless the SSRS. (2) We do need the full error log and the error message that you get.
By the way, The SQLUA.msi is just a small utilities named "Upgrade Advisor"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144256.aspx
Do you want to install the SQL Server itself?
What is your current SQL Server on the local windows 2008 server?

We have purchased a Sql Server 2012 license. How can I download the installation media? Only download I found was the evaluation copy. Should I download this, install it and update the license?
You can download
SQL Server 2012 enterprise evaluation edition.
After download is finished locate setup file and right click on it and select run as administrator when you reach page where you have to select Evaluation edition or enter Key for licensed edition please enter the license key and continue with installation.
After installation completes you would get standard edition
run below to check
select @@Version
select serverproperty('productversion'),

How to download SQL Server 2012 Standard Trial Version?

Hello,
I would like to try Standard Edition of SQL Server 2012. Where I can download it?
I followed this link www.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/get-sql-server/try-it.aspx and downloaded and installed. But when I check in SQL Server Management Studio (Mangement Studio->Server->Properties->Generals->Product), it shows "Microsoft
SQL Server Enterprise Evaluation (64-bit)".
As I don't need Enterprise Edition for my project, I would like to test with Standard Edition for few days before purchasing.
Please advise.
Thanks in advanced.

Hello,
There is no edition specific to evaluation edition.Its same as enterprise but you can use it maximum for 6 months and you cnanot use it in production.Use below link for Eval edtn
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=29066
Now there is no standard evaluation edition.If you want to specifically test on Stand. edition you need to buy a license copy.But i guess you want to test some non enterprise features so you need to by stand for it.
Can you tell me what you want to test specifically I will tell you whether stand or ent will make any differnce or not

SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot System Service not visible in Central Administration

Hi all,
I want to test PowerPivot 2012 on the following configuration:
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Sharepoint 2010 - Enterprise edition
- SQL Server 2008 R2
- PowerPivot for Sharepoint<o:p></o:p>
As such, I downloaded SQL Server 2012 Evaluation and tried to upgrade SQL Server 2008 PowerPivot for Sharepoint instance to SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot
for Sharepoint. It didn't work as it's not possible to upgrade from Enterprise to Evaluation edition without a pid.
Next, I uninstalled the existing SQL Server 2008 PowerPivot for Sharepoint and I installed the SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot for Sharepoint.
I started to configure PowerPivot in Central administration (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210609.aspx) , but I got stuck at the 2nd step Create and Configure a PowerPivot
Service Application (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210685.aspx) in Central Administration.
The problem is that both SQL Integration Service and SQL Server PowerPivot System service are not visible in Central administration > Manage
services on server; however they are visible and running in Windows Administrative Tools > Services.
Do you think the services are missing in Sharepoint Central Administration because the Sharepoint configuration database is on SQL Server 2008, while the Powerpivot instance is on SQL Server 2012 ?

Thank you for the suggestion.
Meanwhile I have managed to solve the problem. What I've done:
- remove PowerPivot configuration using the Power Configuration Tool
- uninstall PowerPivot
- reinstall PowerPivot
- run PowerPivot Configuration Tool - I still got the parent service error
- remove PowerPivot configuration using the Power Configuration Tool
- run PowerPivot Configuration Tool - this time I received another error regarding the user that runs SQL Server Integration services
- check Sql Server Analysis Service account in Central Administration > Security > Service accountsManage service account - it seems that it was running under Local System account, although in Administrative Tools > Services it appeared to
be run by my domain account
- set a domain account for Sql Server Analysis Service in Central Administration
- run the PowerPivot Configuration Tool - this time it went smoothly.
The following url provides very useful info related to this type of issue: http://whitepages.unlimitedviz.com/2012/09/troubleshooting-and-removing-a-failed-installation-or-upgrade-of-powerpivot-for-sharepoint/

Hi,
This 3rd time I followed this link. But nothing new, same error.
Can you please tell me how to do follow, I cannt do the 1st step, how to change the local system to windows level account, vice-versa. It is shown mine as
Server Configuration Manager(Local)
From here I folllowed the steps ---[I cannt insert link/image :-(]
SQL 2008/R2 setup fails with "Wait on the database engine recovery handle failed"
If I right clicked on SQL Server Service, there is no option to change the account.
Hello,
Thanks for your patience,did you tried stesp mentioned in below article
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqljourney/archive/2012/03/16/sql-2008-r2-setup-fails-with-quot-wait-on-the-database-engine-recovery-handle-failed-quot.aspx
To resolve it, follow these steps:-
When the installation throws this error, click on OK and allow it to proceed. It will fail for Database Engine, but the SQL Server service should have
been created. Check the Services console.
If the service is present, perform the following steps:-
1. Go to SQL Server Configuration manager, right click on the SQL Server service, and change the service account (if it is local system, give
it a windows level account, and vice-versa). It might throw a WMI error but you will see the account getting updated anyway. If not, then use the Services console. Change the account for SQL Agent as well.
Use this link to change sql server service account
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345578.aspx
2. Next, try to start the service. It should come online.
3. However, you will not be able to log in to the SQL Server
4. Now stop the service and start it from the command prompt using -m -c -T3608 parameters.
5. Now try logging in to the server using admin connection from sqlcmd (sqlcmd admin:<server name>\<instance name> ...)
6. Once logged in, use the sp_addsrvrolemember '<domain\username>','sysadmin'.
Also add the builtin/administrators to the sysadmin role
7. Now stop the service from the command prompt and start it from SQL Server configuration manager
You should be able to log in to the server now.
Hope this helps someone.
Please revert if it helps or even if it does not

Hi Jupemen,
According to your message, the SQL Server media is a complete installation and it has not encountered any error when downloading. We need to verify if you run the setup.exe as administrator and you have a permission to read and write the folder of MSI package
via Administrator account. In some occasions, the required MSI package doesn't exists and it could indicate a registry problem, a virus or malware issue or even a hardware failure. If you need a copy of the MSI package, it's best to obtain it from its original,
legitimate source. For more information , see:
