The only difference I can think of is that the installation framework is a 32-bit process, which calls the SQL Server installer, while the command prompt is a 64-bit application. It's just the SP2 installer that is giving me problems. The installation framework installs SQL Server Express correctly if I use the 2008 R2 SP1 express or the 2012 SP1 Express installer. When the SQL Server process hangs, I can kill the process, copy/paste the exact command that was executed from the installation framework's log files, and execute that command in a command prompt - and then the installation runs as expected. I'm also certain that these prerequisites are fulfilled. The installation framework does check for this. The C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\ folder is not even created!Īny suggestions, or places I can look to figure out why it's not proceeding? For now, I have worked around the issue by including SP1 instead of SP2, but ideally I'd like to base my solution on the most recent service pack. From my previous search attempts, I have seen issues where the installer would hang or fail when launched from inside an msi, which would result in a log in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\. I have checked and double-checked that our installation framework is started with administrative privileges.
If I replace the SQL Server Express 2012 SP2 with SQL Server Express 2012 SP1, and install via our installation framework, the installation goes through as normal
If I launch exactly the same command from the command prompt, the installation goes through as normal I'm experiencing these symptoms on both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2012 R2 (haven't tested other platforms) No activity on the machine, CPU or disk - I have waited up to 15 minutes to verify this.
The folder reaches about 11 mb in size, and then nothing further happens. The SQL Server Express installer starts extracting files to c:\. I have a proprietary installation framework, which is calling the SQL Server Express installer. I am having an issue with trying to silent install SQL Server Express 2012 SP2 (x86).
