Installing SQL 2012 on Windows 7 64 bit (EN) OS -> Failure

  • Hi,

    When installing SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe the installation just dies out after showing a command prompt box. The SQLSetup.log found in %tmp% shows:

    After many many hours of various troubleshootings, I came up with this and I'm stumped.

    Framework 4 no longer uses caspol.exe per running the command line;

    C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727>caspol.exe -all -reset

    Microsoft (R) .NET Framework CasPol 2.0.50727.5420

    Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

    ERROR: Runtime error: This method explicitly uses CAS policy, which has been obs

    oleted by the .NET Framework. In order to enable CAS policy for compatibility re

    asons, please use the NetFx40_LegacySecurityPolicy configuration switch. Please

    see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=155570 for more information.

    Now I extracted the executable and the configuration file used for the setup seems to indicate that it is using the legacy flags indicated in the CAS link.

    I ran the exact same command line on the 32 bit folder

    C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>caspol.exe -all -reset

    And it successfully created security.config and security.config.cch in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\config

    In desperation, I copied those files into the 64 bit folder; C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\config

    And ran the installation, successfully installing SQL 2012.

    Here's the rub, WHY can the security.config files not be created? It seems to indicate it tries to create them but fails, I am logged in as an administrator on the machine and I did run the setup using elevated rights (right click run as administrator)

    I'm flumoxed, anyone else run into similar issues? Have any clues or ideas?

    Thanks.

    Connie

  • That's not one I've hit on all the 2012 installs I've done. I'd suggest taking it to Microsoft. Go through support or post it as a Connect item.
