Hi,
System - windows server 2008 SP2 Standard virtual machine with two drives C(windows drive ) and D(complete blank )
SQL Setup disk - SQL Server 2012 SP1 English 64 bit Standard Edition
On Installation wizard cheked Database engine services , Management Tools - Basic , Management Tools - Complete and SQL client connectivity SDK .
moved with installation wizard as installation and other folder structure in D drive as much as possible , rest values default .
During installation progress a message appeared " A MOF Syntax error occured. "
After that a status window appears and in list
Database Engine Services - Failed
Important History ,
I followed above process as it is on this virtual machine executed sucessfully . Due to some issue complete D drive crashed and disappeared , so i faced above problem when i added space to virtual machine server again as new D drive of same size and again executed sql server setup after uninstall old entries in add/remove program of windows .
Best Regards ,
