SQL Express installation failing

  • Hi Guys,

    Im trying to install SQL Express 2014 (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU) on a freshly installed Win 7 Pro Sp1 64bit laptop.

    On running the SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU, files are extracted, but nothing else seems to happen.

    Running setup in the extracted folders initally produces a UAC screen asking if the application can make changes to the system.

    After clicking "Yes", a command window appears for less than a second before disappearing and nothing else happens.

    There are no messages in the event viewer.

    Anyone have any suggestions as to what may be wrong?

    Please let me know if additional info may be of use.

    Thanks

    Donald

  • Check summary.txt file for further troubleshooting which sql server has created during the installation.

  • Thanks for your reply.

    I've searched for a summary.txt file but I cant find it.

    A "%programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\"... folder isnt even being created.

    I've also tried installing SQLEXPR_x64_ENU with the same results.

    Is there anything else I can look for?
