SQL 2012 RTM 64bit Install Fails on Windows Server 8 Beta

  • Hi all, anyone also getting the errors during installation?

    It fails specifically for the DB Engine & SSRS.

    SSAS, SQL Browser and SSIS install perfect.

    Error components:

    1. sqlrsshpconfigaction_install_configrc_cpu64

    2. sqlengineconfigaction_install_confignonrc_cpu64

    "The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest" & "Specified driver is invalid"

    All prereq's were installed and updated.

    No joy, tried a couple of times, but same error every time.

    From searches on Google I now believe this is not a 2012 issue, but a couple of people had the same issues on R2 (which I didnt).

    No idea what to try next....any advise?

  • I assume this is running in a VM? What's your platform? (i.e. Hyper-V? VMware Workstation? VirtualBox?) Have you tried building a fresh VM with x64 bits and seeing if problem occurs there?

    Can you post the actual error message(s) you received? Also, what ewrrors did you get in the error logs?

    Not saying I can do much since I have neirhter SQL Server 2012 or Windows 8.

  • Already reloaded Windows Image, will replicate errors and post.

    Like I said, even with the 64bit arch, it fails, same error.

  • We're you trying to install Analysis Services? There was nasty bug in CTP releases around choosing to install AS and it crashing install when trying select default admins. Wonder if it slipped through or you found new variant of the bug.

    Nope, was aware of the CTP bug.

    This is RTM.

    Funny thing, when I try to install everything, SSAS is actually a successful component.

    Reloaded server with Server 8, updated, VS updates, .Net updates etc...still failing.

  • Update:

    RC0 installed without any issues. RTM still failing.

    Now I'm confused :hehe:
