This is what I ran exactly in the DOS window (the bolded part below): C:\57c8090c0073f099808cbd3a9f122e9c>setup An error occurred during the SQL Server 2012 Setup operation. As per Samuel's suggestion, I copied the unpacked directory and tried to run setup.exe directly from a DOS window. My only guess is that my earlier installation of SQL Server Express 2008 R2 (without Advanced Services) has done something that is affecting my current attempts at installation? I have more than enough space on my hard drive so space shouldn't be an issue. SQL Server Express 2008 R2 already installed (without Advanced Services)

Windows 7, Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit My guess is this directory was never created because setup.exe fails immediately.

To top it off, I tried to look for a log file for the installation at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\ but I can'tĮven find this directory.

I have no problems installing other programs (I've probably installedġ5+ programs this year) so this is just a weird bug/quirk with SQL Server Express installer. right click on the exe and "Run as Administrator") so insufficient privileges shouldn't be the issue either. Same result - extraction works but setup.exe fails after opening and closingĪll the above have been attempted with Administrator privileges (ie.

The same thing happens - extraction works but then the DOS window opens and closes after extractionģ) I have even tried to install regular SQL Server Express 2012 (SQLEXPR_圆4_ENU_2012.exe) but the same thing happens - extraction works but then the DOS window opens and closes after extraction and I get no error message.Ĥ) I have also tried the 32 bit version of 2012 Advanced Services (SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU) but the same thing happens - extraction works but then the DOS window opens and closes after extraction and I get no error message.ĥ) I have rebooted my computer and tried to install SQL Server 2012 Advanced Services from scratch but that didn't work either.Ħ) I have tried to install SQL Server 2012 Advanced Services in safe mode (in case my anti-virus program - that is, Microsoft Security Essentials - was causing problems). Unfortunately, when I run setup.exe, the DOS window opens and closes immediately and I get no error message.Ģ) I have tried to install SQL Server Express 2008 with Advanced Services (the file is also named SQLEXPRADV_圆4_ENU.exe). To troubleshoot this, I have done the following:ġ) I made a copy of the 2012 Advanced Services extraction directory so I could run setup.exe directly. It's frustrating because I don't even get an error message from the installer on what the problem is. The Microsoft SQL Server Express 2012 site. I am running SQLEXPRADV_圆4_ENU.exe (I'm using Windows 7, 64 bit) as downloaded from Running during the extraction phase but once it runs setup.exe and the DOS window opens and closes, SQLEXPRADV_圆4_ENU_2012.exe*32 disappears from the TaskManager. When I use TaskManager to track the service, SQLEXPRADV_圆4_ENU_2012.exe*32 is I can get past the initial extraction phase, but when the installer tries to run setup.exe after theĮxtraction (I assume it is trying to run setup.exe?), a DOS window opens and then closes almost right after, and then the extraction directory and its contents are deleted. I have a weird bug when trying to install SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Services (same issue with 2008 with Advanced Services).
