Hi All,
I'm doing SQL 2014 install on Win2012 and having couple of issues
Almost at the end of Install I'm receving the following error : with a retry or Cancel option from SQL Install
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
SQL DB engine is not ready, BUt I'm able to go under SQL Configuration
If I start SQL Engine : (I'm using domain\service account) it gives me login error
well I tried different account and also SA account also
I checked Name pipe, Memory and TCP/IP area, all are enabled
Correct IP address is used
I tried using port also but no luck
FIREWALL is blocked
What exactly is the issue?, Why SQL Server failed to complete install ?
Is this network related issue ?
What I can do to resolve this issue ?
Please help

Have a look at the installer logs (if any) %programfiles%\MicrosoftSQL Server\120\Setup Bootstrap\Log

Reports are clean, no errors reported except one warning

Network Binding

"Domain network is not the first Bound network" this will cause Domain network to cause Domain operation to run slow and can cause timeouts that results in failures

have you tried setting the network bindings before re running the installer
