I have been struggling with this for days and tried every solution I have found without success. This is keeping me from working and is getting really frustrating.
I am trying to install SQL Server 2014 Management Studio on two workstations. One has Windows 8.1 installed, The other Windows 7. I recently update my windows server from 2012 Essentials to 2012 R2 Essentials. I created new domain users and made them administrators on both workstations.
I have not been able to install any edition on either of the workstations. I get the same exception: MOF syntax error 0x84BB0001
Please help while I still have some hair left!
