When I attempt to install SQL Server 2012 Express, I get an error
However, I have installed service pack 1. BTW, I am using windows 7.
Could someone help me?
My best guess is that you're trying to install 64bit Sql Server on 32bit Windows 7. Other than that, make sure you right click and choose "Run as Administrator" when starting the installer, and that your copy of Windows evaluates as "genuine".
Sql Server also requires .Net and PowerShell, but if either of those were the problem I would expect to see a different error, or even just a prompt to allow them to be included with this installation.

I have been trying to install Oracle SQL Developer on my 64bit Windows 8.1 machine. I have tried to install it with the embedded jdk and without the jdk. when I remove Java and I start SQL Developer it comes up and asks for the location of Java, I then tell it where it is. In either situation when starting SQL Developer it come up and starts to install for about 10 seconds, the progress bar says loading and the SQL Developer screen goes away with no errors and no explaniation. I have been trying this for days. I have removed and redownloaded all files and I get the same result.
Please if anyone can help I would be grateful. I need this for my course and I am unable to get anything completed.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
I had the same problem. I created an account with Oracle, accept the Terms and licences agreement. Search for the version you are trying to install and make sure it is the right one for the OS, 32 OR 64 bits with JDK 8. After extracting the files make sure you run as Admin, your SQL will complete installing. When you are installing they go into a default folder in C-drive or you can choose the path. Hope it helps.
I'm trying to set up a MEAN stack and I'm having the following issue when trying to execute mongo.exe: "The procedure entry point K32GetProcessMemoryInfo could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll"
I'm using Windows Vista 64bit, mongo is the latest, and I'm logged as administrator.
Thanks.
For Vista you need to install the Legacy version of MongoDb.
The 64-bit legacy build lacks newer features of Windows that enhance performance. Use this build for Windows Server 2003, 2008, or Windows Vista.

I have Windows 7 64bit. I had Sql Server 2008 R2 Express installed. I unistalled it and then I tried to install Sql Server 2008 R2 Web. Unfortunatelly on the Setup Support Rules page for 'Consistency validation for SQL Server registry keys' I got 'Failed'. I spent half of a day trying to solve it, but then I assumed that there must be realy something wrong with registry keys and it will be faster just to reinstall Windows.
After formatting the disk and reinstalling Windows 7, rebooting dozen of times I installed all Windows upadtes as well. I also did install some programs like Skype, Thundirbird etc. which has no influence on Sql Server setup.
And then I tried again to install Sql Server 2008 R2 Web. And again an error. A bit different one. Now when the setup is on the Setup Support Rules page I get an error message box with the title "FixSqlRegistryKey_x86 - Application Error" and content: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application. 'Consistency validation for SQL Server registry keys' gets 'Failed' status as well.
My team mate has exactly the same machine as mine. He had no problem with installation (he didnt even need to reinstall Windows).
I run the setup as administrator, from a local folder. I even tried to use the setup files copied from my team mate, for a case if my copy is corrupted. In the setup options I have chosen the 'x64' version.
Any ideas what can be the reason of the problem?
Problem solved.
Someone suggested to me that Web edition should not be installed on Win 7 (just on Windows Server). So perhaps installing a different version would work. My team mate perhaps succeeded acidentially - due to having sql server installed already in express edition... but it is just a guess.
Before I tried to install another edition of SqlServer, I downloaded 2008 Express version and I started the install. From the temporary folder created by the express edition I copied FixSqlRegistryKey_x86.exe file and I had overwritten the problematic file in the Web setup with this file.
I started the setup again. It passed the verification this time. But has crashed on a later point - setup unpacks the installation files to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2008R2 and runs from it. So I needed to again overwrite the problematic file in this location. Now the installation succeeded.
I am trying to upgrade my current Express edition to Express with Advanced Services for supporting full-text search.
The current system setup is:
OS version: Windows server 2008 R2 web server 64 bit
SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, SP1, v10.50.2500.0
I have downloaded the SQL Server with Advanced Services. I am unable to upgrade the edition. The installation step goes without any issues and even getting Edition upgrade completed page. But once I click the close this page, an error will pop up.
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error: Invoke or
BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has
been created.
Can some please assist me here to the right direction?
I could see that the version of SQL Server Express with Advanced Services is 10.50.1600.1. Is this the cause? So should I downgrade the sp1 to normal Express r2 edition before upgrading?
Downloaded link for the Express with advanced services http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=25174
I got it working finally!!
I was getting the below error previously. It is a bug and is related to UI. So i have upgraded using the command line that too in QUIET mode to prevent any UI intervention.
"SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created."
Following are the steps i used:-
Downloaded the latest sp1 for SQL Server 2008 r2 with Advanced Services (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe) from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26729
Extracted the SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe to D:\SQL2008
Open command prompt as "Administrator"
Executed the following commands
D:\sql2008\setup.exe /ACTION=editionupgrade /INSTANCENAME=MyInstance /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=SQL,RS /INDICATEPROGRESS /Q
*MyInstance is your sql server instance name
*/INDICATEPROGRESS will show the setup progress to command prompt(For a confirmation :) )
You can follow this doc for more setup parameters
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259(v=sql.105).aspx
Verified the upgrade has been successful.
Unfortunately FULL-TEXT Search feature was not enabled.
So Run the setup.exe as normall(double click) and added "FULL-TEXT Search" feature to the existing instance.
Everything works fine now. Thank you all.
I can verify that this bug and the same resolution also apply to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP2 v10.50.4000.0
I've done some reading on the installation but it's not clear to me whether I will be UPGRADED to the SQL Server Developers edition or whether the install will create another instance. I want to get rid of SQL Server Express. Will the install give me that option?
If the install does not provide that option
What files must be deleted?
Are there any configuration items I need to gather before the install?
Anything else to be aware of?
You definitely can install a separate instance.
Don't even try to delete or replace sql server files manually - use standard windows instrumentation instead - uninstall it as regular application.
As far as I know - there were no any options to upgrade from express edt. to developer, if you need so - just keep your db in safe place, uninstall express, install developer, attach the db. And be aware of developer license restrictions!
