Hi,
For a while now i am trying to install SQL Server 2012 on Windows 8.1. During the installation i get the following error message:
TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure. ------------------------------ SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error: Unknown property. . For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft%20SQL%20Server&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=50000&EvtType=0x08BBFEB6%25400xDC80C325 ------------------------------ BUTTONS: OK ------------------------------
I have tried several editions of SQL server 2012, including and not including updates, however i do not get it to work.
What i have tried:
- Uninstalled all SQL server and Visual studio (2013) products
- Installed SQL Server 2008 R2 (this does work)
- Tried to upgrade SQL Server 2008 R2 (same error)
- Tried the x86 and x64 installer, both the same error.
- Extracted the installation files to a directory and installed from there (Same error).
- Installed only the database engine without the Management Tools (did not work).
- Verified this topic: SQL 2012 Installation Error
In the logs i see the following errors:
