Please Help!!
I've been working on a random installation SQL Server 2012 error that I haven't been able to figure out. I work on a product that installs SQL Server 2012 "Express Edition" as part of it's installation process. This works great normally. However, on certain systems the installation fails with the following error:
> Could not find the Database Engine startup handle
When I look at the services I noticed that the SQL instance is hung in the "Starting" state. I can't even stop the service. I'm forced into exiting the installation.
This is really causing me a headache as I cannot successfully install my application.
PLEASE HELP me figure out WHY this error is happen and more importantly HOW I can detect and prevent this from happening.
I wonder if it is some sort of timing or permissions issue.
Thanks so much,
David
