I am currently taking a class for SQL. The class requires me to download SQL Server 2012 Express W/tools. I am have an issue with the download that is causing all sorts of problems and I am stumped. This part is not graded or anything, it is just to get it installed and my professor still has not gotten back to me.

When I complete the download it is completed but with errors. and gives a quick log saying

The following error has occurred:

Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.

Also it says that every install was successful except the Database Engine Service giving the error code: 0x84880001.

When I enter into the log files under bootstrap/log the error summary report reads as follows: http://pastebin.com/NEVGHGSv

I have been working on this trying to get it resolved for 9+ hours and have installed and re installed SQL Server 2012 Express a dozen times at least.

Things I have tried:

  • Manually Start the instance, it wanted to start but then error'ed out and refused to run.
  • Use a Named instance instead, this did not solve the problem.
  • Check possible issues in good using error codes involving MSSQLSERVER that I found in the Event viewer to include, 17058, and 7034. some possible causes came up at SQLServerCentral.com tried and failed, StackOverflow post tried and failed.

If there is anything anybody can possibly see that I cannot the help would be appreciated. I am New to Stackoverflow and if there is something I may have missed in my post I will be monitoring it as much as I can.

  • Still unsure what the problem was and I even has some more tech savvy friends of mine rather puzzled, but I got it working today. I ended up doing a clean install of windows 7 and used Visual Studio 2012/SQL2014. The install went through like it is supposed to have no problems since. – Derrick Wearmouth Jan 21 '14 at 22:15

I got it to install by first uninstalling "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client" from "Control Panel > Uninstall a program". For some reason, that component had been installed months earlier, and the upgrade advisor never caught it as a problem. Still, the odd installation date caught my eye, and since someone else mentioned the installation began failing with that component, uninstalling allowed me to re-run SQL Server 2012 upgrade successfully after 3 or 4 previously failed attempts pretty much exactly as you described.

  • Gave this a try and did not work in my situation. The biggest problem now for my is that the database engine refuses to install but the rest of the install goes without a hitch. – Derrick Wearmouth Jan 19 '14 at 05:18
