I've recently tried to install the latest version of SQL Server Express 2016, but right at the end of the installation I get the following error:
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
No extra information seems to be available and the installation of following components show up as failed:
Database Engine Services
Full-Text and Semantic Extractions for Search
R Services
SQL Server Replication
I've tried to uninstall everything and install again several times but I always get the same error. I am using Windows 8.1 Enterprise.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance ;)
Do you already have Client Tools installed? If so what is the version? You may need to update the installed version.

I have a VPS web server with SQL Server 2017 Web edition (v14.0.3257.3) with the latest updates installed.
I use Visual Studio 2019 and SQL Server 2017 Express (v14.0.3257.3) with the latest updates installed to publish a website with a SQL Server database.
I get this error:
Internal Error. The database platform service with type Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.Sql140DatabaseSchemaProvider is not valid. You must make sure the service is loaded, or you must provide the full type name of a valid database platform service.
Two days I search for a solution on Google and Stackoverflow but I can't find anything to fix my problem.
On my development machine I installed the latest versions of SMSS and SSDT.
Who can help my in the right direction? Thanks.
I faced the exact same issue today. To resolve this, I installed DACFramwork.msi from this link.
And, instead of looking for SqlPackage.exe in the Program Files x86, I looked for the same inside C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\150\DAC\bin.
Not fully sure as to how it works, but it worked for me.
I have VS2015 Community and SQL Server 2016 Developer installed. Using the MSFT link, I've ensured to download the latest version of SSDT, which appears to install without error (though, Integration Services do not show in the SQL Configuration Manager). Using previously validated projects that creates and executes SSIS packages, I cannot get the same code to work with the current setup.
The error showing when I debug:
Component: SSIS.Pipeline
Error: To run a SSIS package outside of SQL Server Data Tools you must install Standard Edition (64-bit) of Integration Services or higher.
I've uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired, modified, etc., but cannot get the package to build and execute. Has anyone seen similar issues with the setup mentioned?
As per my understanding
You need to install SQL Server and make sure to select Integration Services. Then run DTExec.exe from the new SQL server installation folder.
I have exactly the same issue. I ended up installing SQL Server 2017, SSMS 17.4 and VS 2017, SSDT for VS2017 and successfully run my packages FINALLY! It looks like SQL server and SSDT/VS version has to be "matched". Not sure if they have to be the same version though. But this is quite annoying.
I have developed a project in Visual Studio 2015 and initially TargetDeploymentVersion was set to 2014.
Later we realized this project also needs to be deployed on SQL Server 2012.
So, we changed TargetDeploymentVersion to 2012, build the project, and deployed .ispac on SQL Server Integration Services 2012. The deployment went well.
Please note, we kept Run64bitRunTime=False.
But during validation I started receiving these component metadata could not be upgraded messages.
Following is a printout of the error:
Please, someone, help with this issue.
Cause:
This is a Component Mismatch Exception.
The reason for this error is that the component was developed with a higher version of SQL Server Integration Services.
The server or workstation on which you are running or opening the SQL Server Integration Services Package contains an older version installed.
Since the downgrade of the component is not allowed, the Upgrade Process is triggered.
Unfortunately, the Upgrade Process was unsuccessful in reaching the goal.
Solution:
To fix this error, it is necessary to change the TargetServerVersion parameter to SQL Server 2012 in the SQL Server Integration Services 2012 project.
Right-click the project in the Solution Explorer and select Properties.
To display the TargetServerVersion option, go to Configuration properties and then General.
Deploy the entire project again, and this error will be resolved.
I hope this solution helps others who have this same error.
I'm getting the exact same error message as see in this blog post:
http://shawndowler.com/blog/2012/06/25/microsoft-sql-server-installation-issue-fix/
I ran the SQL Server 2012 setup exe (renamed it to setup.exe it was the expresss edition) as Admin from the command prompt specifying to install the updates prior which exists in my 'C:\Updates' and got the exact same error message as the blogger "An error occurred during the installation of an assembly"
Someone commented it resolved their issue for SQL 2012 in Windows 10 (I'm using express, they didnt specify which version).
Anyone else had issues with SQL 2012 or other installing on Windows 10 complaining about Microsoft.VC80.MCF or similar?
For Windows 10, you need at least SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 - RTM version isn't supported. For some reason, it is only mentioned in documentation regarding SQL Server 2014: Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server.
Hopefully, with Express edition you can download the correct version with SP already integrated into it. However, it might be wiser to install SP3 instead and save yourself some hassle in the future.
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.
