I have problem in getting Database Engine Services installed for SQL Standard 2012 on Window 10. Have google and tried many ways, but encounter many different error.
I am writing this post after 2 weeks of research.... appreciate all help
1. Complete uninstall and fresh install again (that means remove program from Control Panel, delete regedit related to SQL Server 2012, delete all Microsoft SQL folder)
2. Install SQL Standard 2012 SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4, setting server configuration for SQL Server Database Engine to NT Service\System
3. Install 2018 to ensure a instance can be created. But when I installed 2012, encounter error "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion" (I then tried to add DWORD - ServicesPipeTimeout to set as 180000
4. Install SQL 2012 Cumulative Update 3 and .Net 3.5 SP1
5. Install via command Setup.exe /ConfigurationFile= ConfigurationFile.ini
I just did another fresh install again (uninstall and install with regedit clear and SQL folder deleted) to prepare for any help. Following is what I have installed
- Under Apps & features, I have the following SQL version installed
- Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (64 bit)
- Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (64 bits) with SP 1 to 4 installed
- .Net version 3.5 with SP1
- Windows Update has all the latest update i.e. "Check for update" has no outstanding program
Please advise. Thanks
