Trouble installing TIA portal: sqlcmd.exe is missing - plc

Question

I'm trying to install Siemens TIA portal, but get a setup error.
The setup states that "Some installed products need licenses", but shouldn't it just work with a trial license? It does give some error related to the missing of sqlcmd.exe.
The specific version I have is: TIA Portal STEP 7 Professional V15.1.

Answer 1

Solved this by uninstalling Microsoft SQL server 2014, did this via the control panel. After that, I had to manually remove the Microsoft SQL server folder in Program Files and delete some registry keys.
