Starting SQL Server 2012, SP1 Slip stream setup.exe on a Windows Server 2012 Core with configuration file, parameter IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS and parameter UIMODE=EnableUIOnServerCore there's the Exeption in the log file
Showing a modal dialog box or from when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid option.
For sure it's a Core Windows, it could mean that here would come the msgbox for the PID. Inhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd239405.aspx is written that when no PID is given (that's here) evaluation is used - that's what needs to be done here. Running setup with /Q in stand of /UIMODE=EnableUIOnServerCore will ask for PID, so what`s the story with PID, Evaluation and automated setup of SQL Server 2012?
Would be glad if someone would share expertise with this situation.
