Hi,

After googling frantically for a solution to my problem I decided to try to get some help from here.

I upgraded to from Windows 7 to Windows 10 when it came available and had some previous versions of SQL Server installed before but uninstalled them before upgrading to Windows 10. There was alot of traces of the old installations and after spending hours removing them using msiinv.exe and cleaning out the registry, there shouldn't be anything left.

Still I get the same error when trying to install SQL Server 2014:  There was a failure to calculate the applicability of setting LICENSEPATH.

This applies to both the standard and the express version. The standard version is run from an iso and the express version from a .exe file.

EDIT: I noticed that I have the same Culture ID problem as the OP in:

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/a8a52f80-764d-4a01-b60a-1c4c363d1150/error-while-trying-to-upgrade-sql-2008-sp2-to-sql-2012-there-was-a-failure-to-calculate-the

I live in Finland but everything apart from the timezone and keyboard settings are set to english. This can't be an issue since It's worked fine before with previous versions of Windows.

Below is the Summary.txt file from the Log. Notice that the log file says Windows 8 when I'm actually running Windows 10

I tried to uninstall a SQL Server 2014 Instance but it failed during the uninstall.  Is it possible to fix the error or will I have to do a manual sql server instance uninstall.  Thanks

During the middle of uninstall, I received this error:

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Hi,

I wasn't certain which category to post this in.

Basically I have a application that runs a SQL 2014 Database instance.

In the folder where Application runs from on the file share. (as uses map to shared folder on SQL server then run the executable)

We get quite a few crash dumps per day. typically 0KB, but sometimes they will be a few hundred KB.

You cant read the file, have asked the supplier of the application but they have never seen them before and dont know whats causing it.

Users however have reported slow performance. But its hard to measure, as the previous version of the application did not run on a SQL database.

The server that the SQL 2014 is hosted on is Virtual, but its host is really high spec. Probaly 20 times more powerful than it needs to be. So I know its not a hardware issue.

I have had a look round internet and everyone seems to say if you see crash dumps you need to log it with Microsoft. Not actually certain how you do that without paying for a paid incident.

Hello,

I'm trying to install SQL Server Management studio 2012 on my Windows 7 (x64) standalone laptop.  When I click "New SQL stand-alone installation..." it runs a Setup Support Rules check and always fails "Setup Account Privileges".  I've looked into the error and I keep getting that I need to change security rules but I don't have that option in window 7.  How do I get around this without having to resort to a computer running Windows Server?

Additional Background:

I have Visual Studio 2013 premium installed along with Localdb v11.  I just want to connect and manage my database engine through SSMS when developing any application.

Dear expert,

I'd like to change SQL 2005 "collation designator and sort order" setting when the server in production environment.

Can I do that when the SQL server keep running in production environment?

Or it must schedule a down time to stop service, change the setting and reboot the server?

Hello people,

I'm attempting to install SQL Server 2012 Express from command line with silent mode, this installation is embedded with a console application:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Old instances count: " + Tools.GetLocalSqlServerInstanceNames().Count);
    string SetupDirectory = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);
    string sqlSetupFileName ="SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe";

    if (System.IO.File.Exists(SetupDirectory + @"\" + sqlSetupFileName))
    {
        string command = "SQLEXPR_x86_ENU";
        string argument = string.Format("/X: \"{0}\\SQLEXPRESSSTUP\", SetupDirectory);
        int resu = Tools.ExecuteCommand(command, argument);

        if (resu == 0)
        {
            argument = "";
            argument += " " + "/ACTION=Install";

            argument += " " + "/AddCurrentUserAsSQLAdmin";
            argument += " " + "/IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS=True";

            try
            {
                System.Diagnostics.Process processObj = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(SetupDirectory + @"\SQLEXPRESSSTUP\Setup.exe", argument);
                do
                {
                    //refresh the process
                    processObj.Refresh();
                } while (!processObj.WaitForExit(1000));

                Console.WriteLine("Process exited with {0}!", processObj.ExitCode);
            }
            catch
            {
                Console.WriteLine("An error has occured!");
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Extraction failed, please try again !");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("SQL Setup is not found !");
    }

    Console.ReadKey();
}

This program extracts and fires up the SQL Server Express setup but it fails when it reaches the service accounts step. I want to use any other account to pass the step and complete the setup.

Please help.

I'm attempting to install a two-node SQL cluster over a Windows Cluster. The windows cluster is up and running and all set. When I run the SQL Server installation wizard, on the Data Directory screen, when using an SMB share, I type \\FS\BBDB, I get the error message reading that the setup account needs to SESECURITY privilege in the target file server.

Now, simple enough, right? Problem is, the setup account DOES have sesecurity privilege already. Not only that, but, the setup account is also:

-A domain admin

-An enterprise admin

-A local admin in both the source and the target machines

-Has full rights to both the share, as well as the NTFS folder

-It also has all the following rights per accesschk sys internals utility:

SeSecurityPrivilege
SeBackupPrivilege
SeRestorePrivilege
SeSystemtimePrivilege
SeShutdownPrivilege
SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege
SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege
SeDebugPrivilege
SeSystemEnvironmentPrivilege
SeSystemProfilePrivilege
SeProfileSingleProcessPrivilege
SeIncreaseBasePriorityPrivilege
SeLoadDriverPrivilege
SeCreatePagefilePrivilege
SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege
SeUndockPrivilege
SeManageVolumePrivilege
SeImpersonatePrivilege
SeCreateGlobalPrivilege
SeTimeZonePrivilege
SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege
SeChangeNotifyPrivilege
SeInteractiveLogonRight
SeNetworkLogonRight
SeBatchLogonRight
SeRemoteInteractiveLogonRight
SeIncreaseWorkingSetPrivilege

-UAC is deactivated in the target file server. Not only I brought the lever down all the way, but also I edited the registry to actually disable it.

So, what gives??? Help much appreciated. I'm stumped here.

The whole environment is running on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter servers, all fully patched. Attempting to install SQL Server 2012 Enterprise, and yes, I do accept the updates to install setup files when asked.

We are a hosting company that sells SQL under SPLA to our customers on dedicated servers.

It is also possible for a customer to install SQL from their own media using their Volume License agreement.

I am writing a script that runs across our entire install base and tries to determine if the SQL installation was done using our SPLA media or the customers own media.

I was thinking the pre-pidded key on the key would be different ie. a different key for each different customer agreement with Microsoft.

However, now I believe the above may not be case. It appears as though the pre-pidded keys might be the same globally (irrespective of customer)? If this is the case, is there any other registry attribute or other I could query to determine if the installation was done using our media?

Thanks in advance

Hi.. my query is around SQL server 2008 edition .. 
My organization is under enterprise agreement and we have SA for all SQL server licenses bought. 

My query is - can i use my SQL 2008 enterprise licenses to deploy SQL Standard 2008 server.

I have found out from licensing reference guide that the step down of editions is allowed in 2012 and later editions. I wanted to confirm if the same is applicable to 2008 or earlier editions.

I'm about to install Microsoft SQL server 2014 on my Windows 2012 R2 server.

The network consist of three site offices, all connected through VPN tunnels.

There are one server at each office, all servers promoted to domain controllers. (Two of the servers are running Windows 2012 R2 server Std, the first domain controller is running on Windows 2008 R2 server.) 

The setup allows me have single logon at any of the site networks and get access to my server storage.

I'm experiencing some challenges when installing Microsoft SQL server 2014. It seems like the service will not start.

I'm installing the SQL server using the domain administrator, as the local administrator account is removed due to the promoted DC functionality. The installations is made from the server that shall have the SQL service running.  

Best practice or settings prior to installation very much appreciated.

I've got SQL Server 2014 Developer installed, and working.  After rebooting, the event log looks like it's working fine.  However, ever since I uninstalled Visual Studio 2013 Premier and installed Visual Studio 2015 Professional, both with SQL Server Data Tools, whenever I try to start SQL Server 2014 Management Studio, I get "Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application."

Is there any way I can avoid uninstalling SQL Server?

Thanks

I am trying to find a simple portable database (localdb) to use with my .Net apps so I am trying to install SQL Server 2012 express.

I get a MOF and WMI errors when installing SQL Server 2012 Express. I am not a database/windows person so not sure how to solve this complex problem. I have spent 2 days googling, tried many things already posted on this error in 2012 and 2008 with no results.

The history is the machine is Win 7 64 bit.  I had SQL Server 2005 installed sucessfully for years running with .Net until in 2013 a windows update suddenly trashed the instance and I was unable to connect to the database anymore. (Same exact thing happened on my laptop at the exact same time thus for sure it was a windows update). 

So I have uninstalled 2005 and tried to install 2012.

On the install it errors out twice:

1. Slp_Config_Install_Core_WMI_Provider_Cpu64

A MOF syntax Error occured

2.  RS_RunInstallScriptsAction_Cpu_64

Error call to RS WMI native function to retrieve database scripts. Error Code -2147220975

I have tried running mofcomp sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof  manually and I get an error

mofcomp C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof

…

Storing data in the repository…

An Error occurred while processing item 10 defined on lines 73 – 79 in file sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof:

Error number: 0x80070005, Facility: Win32

Description: Access is denied.

The 73 to 79 lines in the file are:

Instance of RegServices

{

  LName = "msftesql$";

  Name = "msftesql";

  ServiceType = "Full Text";

  Type = 3;

};

I have also tried

Winmgmt /verifyrepository 

And it comes back WMI repository is consistant.

I am also running all commands as administrator.

Like I said I really have no clue what I am doing soI may not even be looking in the right place.

Any insight appreciated.  If you need more details just tell me what to get.

thanks, rick
