I've developed an application that uses SQL Server (in particular LocalDB), and, I have just pushed it out to the client.
The client runs Windows 8.1 x64, but, when I try to install either x86 or x64 version of SQL LocalDB direct from Microsoft, I keep getting this error:
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express LocalDB
Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system. For information on supported configurations, see the product documentation.
I'm a little bit stuck here, and, quite confused as I am using LocalDB on my Windows 8.1 dev machine.
How can I resolve this?
Please right click the LocalDB setup file and check if it is configured with other compatibility mode. And make sure that you choose “Run as Administrator” to start the installation. There is also a similar thread for your reference, which may require you to reinstall the Windows to resolve the OS error.

I have Windows 7 running on my machine (I know it's old) and when I try to install SQL Server 2017 using the setup utility, I get this error:
The operating system on this computer does not meet the min requirements for SQL Server 2017. To determine the min required OS supported for this SQL server release, see the hardware and software requirements.
This is the link provided: Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server
I don't see anything there that stands out that my machine does not have. I know people have installed SQL Server 2017 on Windows 7 boxes, so that can't be the issue.
I tried changing the compatibility mode by right clicking the setup file and properties too, to Windows 7 but I still can't get passed that error message.
I think at the link you provided Windows 7 is actually not in the list of OS supported? Here it's also mentioned SQl Server 2017 can only be installed on Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 and later versions.
I've reformatted my machine around 3 times. I'm on windows 10 and I've selected the erase all apps and files option and I'm still not able to install sql server express 2016. I'm presented with this error when trying to install.
‘Microsoft.VC80.MFC,version=”8.0.50727.4053″,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b”,processorArchitecture=”x86″,type=”win32″‘. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736CC.
I've tried many many things. I've reformatted, I've tried running the file as admin, tried other versions such as stand edition 2012, tried to install the files while deleting 2010 c++ distribution. I've ran .net repair tool and nothing as well.
The problem stemmed when I manually uninstalled .net 4.5.1 framework using add/remove programs. I think my system files or registry is corrupted.
I think the error says, you have a 32 bit machine(processorArchitecture=”x86″) and you are trying to install 64 bit app ,which is not possible
further there is no 32 bit version of SQLSERVER from SQL2016 onwards
Some of you may have noticed that Microsoft recently released SQL Server 2016 CTP 2.4. There is one major change that I am very happy about – x86, or the 32-bit version, is no longer included. SQL Server 2016 is now 64-bit only
you can try downloading SQL2014 express version which comes in both versions..here is a link to download :Download SQL Server Express
I tried Installing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 at first, Its installation was going smoothly until I closed my computer to attend to an occasion. Before I tried installing it for a second time, I compressed my C drive(C:) so as to create more storage space. On Installing it again, It couldn't install as a dialog box displayed showing that my attributes doesn't match.
I uncompressed my C: drive and tried installing it again yet it couldn't install. Finally I tried for the last time just to see the image below.
What do I do? My computer is a 32bit OS. and window 7 Ultimate.
You should take a look at the Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2008, some conditions are:
SQL Server Setup will block installations on read-only or compressed drives.
For minimum version requirements to install SQL Server 2008 on Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8, see Installing SQL Server on Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562).
So please read it carefully, you can found it in the MSDN here
I have just downloaded and installed Visual studio 2013, and now I want to download SQL Server. But I'm not sure which one is right for me.
I have a 64 bit Windows 8.1, and I wish to learn .Net programming and data connectivity. The last time I tried, SQL Server wouldn't connect, so I uninstalled and re-installed.
That didn't work, so I restored my system in order to start fresh.

Just install the Express Edition (with tools)
Make sure you take note of the instance name (best to use default in your case probably i.e. no instance name)
also make sure you use windows / mixed mode authentication and add yourself in as an administrator
when you open up management studio just enter localhost into the sever name and you should connect fine
there is a sarcastic walkthrough here

I wanna install SQL Server 2012 Enterprise edition but I have an issue during the installation.
I'm working on a Win 7 OS, i5, x64, sp1.
I tried to install it on my laptop and it doesn't work. After installing rules this error comes up:
SQL server setup has encoutered the following error: There was a
failure to calculate the default value of setting INSTANCEID. Error
code 0x85640001.
Now, I don't know what I can do? =/
Help me please.
i know nothing about that specific error message but maybe it is related with the fact that win 7 is not a supported operating system for that sql server version.
you can check on ms website: the enterprise edition requires a server operating system.
