I was trying installing SQL Server 2008 in Windows 10 x64 (fully updated) version:1511 OS build:10586.318
Setup fails with the error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation".
I Googled and searched for the possible solutions of this error and followed n referred to a thread also, which was for Windows 2008 R2.
Now i did almost everything said there in that thread.
steps i did -
1)- i did a complete fresh re-install of my windows 10 x64 and updated it. I am the Admin and it's fresh new Admin account.
DESKTOP-V0OKKQV\BEAST (Computer Name\User name). computer name was assigned by windows 10 itself while during installation and username i gave when it asked for. so i didn't change the computer name , i left it it's like by default it chose for itself.
2)- i enabled on the .NET Framework 3.5(includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)
3)- .NET Framework 4.6 Advanced series already enabled on
4)- i copied the SQL Server setup folder "Microsoft Sql Server 2008" to the C:\Users\BEAST folder.
5)- Checked for permissions to "Microsoft Sql Server 2008" folder , gave Full permissions everywhere.Unchecked Read-Only thing too.
6)- i gave Full Control on these reg key to Administrator, current user and everywhere i could
'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server' &
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\security
7)- Then i did these slipstream steps also using Command Prompt (as Adminstrator)
Downloaded the x64 package of SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 4
Extracted the service pack to C:\SP1 folder by running the following command:
SQLServer2008SP4-KB2979596-x64-ENU.exe /x:C:\SP1
installed the setup support files:
C:\SP1\x64\setup\1033\sqlsupport.msi
Ran the Setup.exe file from the SQL Server 2008 folder by specifying the /PCUSource parameter.
Navigating to the the directory using cd for C:\Users\BEAST\Microsoft Sql Server 2008
then
setup.exe /PCUSource=C:\SP1
8)- Installation of SQL Server 2008 begins.
all 7 tests and 10 rules of sql servere passed , except Windows Firewall warning only
which i skipped as i am not installing for Remote purpose , only Local system.
9)- Then installation begins as usual and errors "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation" come in end.
Please Help! to solve this error.
