SQL Server 2008R2 Installation problem

  • Hello all - I am having an issue isntalling SQL Server 2008 R2 on a desktop PC. Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit. .NET framework is 4.0. It installed perfectly on an identical machine (I'm only installing SSMS), but on this particular machine the DOS window flashes for a second and then nothing happense. SQLSetup.log contains the following:

    I've tried it from a folder on C:\ and from a DVD. Same result both times. the SQL Native client is already on this machine, version 9.0, but I can't believe that is causing the issue because of previous successes on the SSMS install. I'm kind of reached the end of the internet in looking for a solution. Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,

  • When you launched setup.exe did you right-click and select 'run as administrator'? I have found that even though the account I am logged in with is a local admin, I still need to do the 'run as' to install to succeed.

    It says that the ".Net security policy file does not exist"....may be that file is missing from the .Net Framework in your system....

    Have you tried installing the same SQL Server Setup on another machine??

    If it works on another machine then you should probably remove the current .Net Framework that you have on your machine, re-install it and then try installing SQL Server.

  • Hello, yes, I've done the right-click --> Run as Administrator as well - no luck.
