install SQL server setup has encoutered the error on Win 7 : - sql-server

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.

SQL Server 2019 Developer Edition Unable to Install SQL Server (setup.exe)

I had an old version of SQL Server on my laptop which I uninstalled. Now I am trying to install SQL Server 2019 Developer edition but I get an error:
Error Code(Decimal): 2068052293 Error Description: Please install the Visual C++2017 Redistributable from https://aka.ms/vs/15/releaset..exe before running this installer.
I also installed Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable from the suggested path but still same error is happening.
Environment: HP/Pavilion/Windows 10 Pro/4g/500HDD/Corei5
PS: attaching screenshot for kind reference
Screenshot is missing.
Check for the following,
Is, VC++ 2017 is successfully installed? If yes, its worth doing a restart. Sometimes certain dll's should be registered in Windows environment, which will happen after a restart. Start SQL Server 2019 again after restarting.
Ensure both SQL Server 2019 and VC++ 2017 are installed with same user login. Hopefully you should be local admin for the login.
More suggestion can be provided based on screenshot error. Good luck!
This is my suggestion. It worked for me. Partition your local disk and install MSSQL in the new drive. That's all. Problem solved. This problem often happens with windows 11.

Local instance of SQL Server 2017 min requirements

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.

what do I do to enable my Microsoft SQL Server 2008 install and run on my windows7 computer

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

New Windows 10 Laptop - Unable to install SQL Server 2012

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.

Can't install LocalDB on Windows 8.1

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.
SQL Server 2014 Express why not support Windows 8.1 Pro
