I've been trying to install SQL Server 2012 on a brand new server for days. At first I was getting an error regarding not being able to find certain files - this problem exactly: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11724160/installing-sql-server-2012-error-the-system-cannot-open-the-device-or-file-spec,
but after trying multiple times, I finally remoted into the server and ran the installation from the CD. From one error to this new one.
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
1: 2228 2: D:\1033_ENU_LP\x64\setup\x64\sqlls.msi 3: Property 4: SELECT `Value` FROM `Property` WHERE `Property` = 'ProductVersion' .
We have a site license for SQL so the CD and key were provided to me. I saw one solution online regarding finding the product code and then looking in the registry. I've seen a bunch of upgrade codes in DLL files (on the CD), but not a product code, and if I'm supposed to use one of those to lookup in the registry, I don't know which. Also, the product codes from the example solutions look nothing like my product key, so I'm assuming they're the same thing.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. The sooner I can install this, the sooner our pharmacy can have a working server.
