Hello,
I'm urgently trying to install SQL server express onto my Windows 7 laptop (x64) but keep receiving the setup error detailed at the end of this post.
Things I've tried:
* I previously had SQL Server 2014 Express on my laptop but uninstalled it a few months ago. I've gone through and removed & uninstalled anything to do with SQL Server, though I'm wary that this doesn't mean it's gone-gone, but I didn't think this would prevent an install of 2012 ex.
* Repair VC++ Redistributable. Then tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Version on my laptop is 2010 if that matters.
* On the advice of a friend I tried reverting the .NET framework back to 3.5
The above hasn't changed the nature of the error message unfortunately.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm pretty desperate!

😎Yep, that's what I'm using.
So you might want to try the 2 bit version then, this part of the message "processorArchitecture="x86",type="win32"'" indicates that there may be a problem with the cpu architecture.

Hey sorry for late response, didn't get an e-mail for this post for some reason.
I've tried this but still get exactly the same error.
