I am trying to install SQL Server 2012 Developer on a PC running Windows 8 Enterprise x64.
During the installation it showed that all prerequisites were met.
The installation proceeds about 2/3 of the through then displays a message box indicating
"Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the applications.
The title bar for the message box indicates SQL Server Management Studio.
I tired completely uninstall and reinstalling.
I even tried unchecking the SP1 option during the installation but it made not differe4nce whatsoever.
I am installing a default instance and there is no upgrade involved.
Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 are also installed along with their latest service pack.
Windows 8 Enterprise also has all of the patches installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have been installing SQL Server Developer since 2000 and this is the first time where I have failed to get it installed.
