I am currently trying to install SQL Server 2017 Enterprise on Windows Server 2016 Datacenter.
When the installation reaches "Install Setupfiles", the window freezes.
I have tried to install SQL Server 2016 Enterprise and SQL Server 2016 Developer, but no difference.
I also have installed .Net Framework 4.7 to meet the requirements of the setup, but nothing changed.
There is also no information from the setup, despite the fact that it skips downloading and extracting the installation files (which is fine, due to the fact that I downloaded a full ISO), but it also skips "installing installation files".
Did I forget any crucial software or setting ?
Did anyone face the same problem ?
Best regards,

This is probably a trendy question, But I promise you my problem is different.
Lately my server windows crashed and I was forced to install new windows.
I took a backup of the database "ReportServer" and "ReportServerTempDB".
Until then I didn't remember the SQL Server version was installed before the windows crashed.
Now when I try to attach these databases and run the report server, it tells me the following message
"The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is '163'. The expected version is '162'. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase)"
I've made some research, and understood that my current installed SQL Server version is higher than the database, I tried installing some cumulative updates but when I run the updates it seems not to be recognizing the SQL Server version installed.
Current installed version: Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise: Core-based Licensing (64-bit) 2014 v12.0.2000.8
Previously installed version: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Not sure though.
My problem is that I can't open the ReportServer database because it's version is older and I can't install the right cumulative update to fix this issue. Can anyone point me to the right direction?
Much appreciated Thanksss!!.
I am developing with BizTalk for the first time. I have created an extremely basic project in VS2103 which builds but fails to deploy with the output:
error DEPLOY: The database or the database version is incompatible with the installed version of this product.
The BizTalk installation is BizTalk 2013 R2 on a SQL Server 2012 SP3 database.
My project is using VS2013 because I understand that VS2105 can't be used to target BizTalk 2013.
There is no further information in the output window. I have a valid login on the database and can perform CRUD operations on it through VS2013.
This page suggests I need "SQL Server Development Tools" - am I right in assuming this means "SQL Server Data Tools" because that's all I seem to get when I search for it.
Even a pointer to where I can find a more more informative error would be useful (perhaps unsurprisingly changing the build verbosity only affects the build output when what I'd like is a more informative deploy output!).
Apparently this issue is related to the OS - BizTalk 2013 (or some other element of my setup) isn't compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2. Downgrading to R1 isn't an option the security team will allow. Upgrading BizTalk means upgrading SQL Server means upgrading some other software we have running on it so that's not going to happen any time soon. Looks like it's time for me to move to Azure!
I've installed SQL Server 2014 Enterprise on a VM and am trying to install the Upgrade Advisor.
Directions indicate that I should run SqlUA.msi but I get the following error:
Setup is missing prerequisites:
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Transact-SQL-ScriptDom, which is not installed by Upgrade Advisor Setup. To continue, install SQL Server 2014 Transact-SQL ScriptDom from below hyperlink and then run the Upgrade Advisor Setup operation again :
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=296473.
That just takes me to the download page. There is no ScriptDom file, but a further search showed me that they mean SQLDOM. So I installed SQLDOM.msi from that page above and got the following error:
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Transact-SQL-ScriptDom
Installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Transact-SQL-ScriptDom failed because a higher version already exists on the machine. To proceed, uninstall the higher version and then run Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Transact-SQL ScriptDom Setup again.
Well, that was pretty confusing. First I'm told I don't have it, then I'm told I'm trying to install an older version. I've rebooted the VM and my local laptop a bunch but without assist. Microsoft Support told me they don't support upgrade advisor.
Go to the Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 Feature Pack page, here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42295
Click the Download button, then look for the download named "SqlDom.msi"; the x64 version is about 1/3 of the way down, the x86 version is about 80-85% of the way down.
These should be the latest versions of the ScriptDom.
I had the same issue, installed x64 sqldom.msi - it didn't work. So I then installed x86 version and the upgrade advisor worked. This was on server 2012R2 with SQL2012 x64.
The file Eng_Microsoft_SQLServer_TransactSql_ScriptDom_dll_32 cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file redist.cab. This could
indicate a network error, an error reading from installation media, or a problem with this package.
I'm working on a winform application using VS2012 (.NET 4). I use SQL Server for my database affairs, I can run this application smoothly on my development systems (which have VS 2012 installed) but when I give EXE and my MDF files to someone who don't have VS2012 installed, they get an SQL server exception (also program runs but they cannot use database features), I think problem is that they don't have SQL server installed, how can I solve this problem? what should I give to my users? Is there any difference between Debug and Release versions? I deploy Debug EXE which runs but as mentioned SQL server features are not usable
I'm trying to do a SQL Server 2008 setup and I've been given a Cross Language Installation failure. More specifically:
Rule "cross language installation: failed.
the Setup language is different than the language of existing SQL Server features. To continue, use SQL Server Setup installation media of the same language as the installed SQL Server features.
I do not have SQL Server Express installed and I browsed through "Add or Remove Programs" and was unable to find anything that looked like it was a previous version of SQL.
Any tips?
I restarted the setup after facing the same problem, and I realized that man should not close the installation center till the setup process is completed. If you leave it open it will work.
Ensure that you have uninstalled all of your old SQL Server versions. Also you must restart the installer if you have not done that when you began installation.
All I had to do was exit the installer and start the process again. For some reason it worked the second time around.
I had the same problem today when installing SQL Server 2008 Express on a computer that has never had an instance of SQL Server installed.
I found that "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward compatibility" was installed. I removed this via Add/Remove Programs and was able to successfully install SQL Server 2008 Express afterwards.
Change the Current Windows Language interface for the needed language you want to install.
That will make it possible for the Installer to launch the Localized version.
If you've previously installed SQL on the machine (or apparently some RedGate tools) have you checked for any SQL detritus in the registry?
If not then the MS forums have details of some reg keys to look out for, and some of the links are worth following for advice on what to delete from the registry.
On my installation of Sql Server 2008 Express, this was caused by having Sql Server 2005 Express Tools installed while trying to install 2008. Uninstalling 2005 Tools fixed the problem. I was able to keep Sql Server 2005 Express, including Sql Server 2005 Backward compatability; only had to nuke tools.
