Hello,
Trying to deploy SQL Server 2016 on a maschine that already has SQL Server Mgmt Studio 2017 (v14.0.17277.0) installed. This leads to an exception during installation:
(01) 2018-10-12 13:25:04 Slp: Target package: "C:\WINDOWS\ccmcache\n\1033_ENU_LP\x64\setup\x86\DACFramework.msi"
(01) 2018-10-12 13:25:04 Slp: MSI Error: 0 A newer version of Microsoft SQL Server Data-Tier Application Framework is already installed.
(01) 2018-10-12 13:25:04 Slp: InstallPackage: MsiInstallProduct returned the result code 1603.
Indeed, the machine has SQL Server Data-Tier Application Framework x86 v14.0.4079.2 already installed during setup of SSMS 2017.
Reproduced this by:
- uninstalling SSMS 2017
- uninstalling Data-Tier Application Framework
- rebooting
- installing SSMS 2017 again
- > this brings back the data tier application framework v14
When I uninstall the framework and then retry setup for SQL Server 2016, the installation completes successfully.
This creates the following questions for me:
- is it generally not supported to install SQL Server 2016 when SSMS 2017 is already installed?
- can I somehow prevent SSMS 2017 from installing Data Tier Application Framework?
- can I tell SQL Server 2016 to ignore teh fact that a newer version of Data Tier Application Framework is already installed?
