Hi.
I get the following error installing SQL Server 2012.
SQL Server Browser configuration for feature 'SQL_Browser_Redist_SqlBrowser_Cpu32' was cancelled by user after a previous installation failure. The last attempted step: Starting the SQL Server Browser service 'SQLBrowser', and waiting for up to '900' seconds for the process to complete.
I know there's a fair bit around on the web about this but not found anything that specifically matches my circumstances.
Build: Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit, Intel i7, 32GB RAM
Windows is up to date and I installed VS2010 and office 2010 first.
I installed all the 2012 components (bar reporting services since am going to install sharepoint 2010 later) under the default instance. I installed SSAS Multi-Dimensional under the default instance.
I then ran the install again to install SSAS Tabular under a named instance. This is where I get the issue above. I've actually had this before with MS XML 6 on SQL Server 2008 R2. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the install locks MSXML6 which means the SQL Browser can't start. I know about slipstreaming installs but I fixed this before by removing MSXML6 and then it worked. I tried repairing the install but the log says I need to remove first because it never succeeded. When looking at the installed components I don't see MSXML6 and I haven't found any log messages pointing towards the same issue. I simply get the error message above. I need to do some more digging when I get time but any pointers would be good... since repeating the install in a trial and error process is sapping a lot of time.
Thanks in advance...
