Solution

SQL Server 2012


1. Save the following in a text file, change the extension to .reg, double-click on the file, and on the prompt that appears, select yes to populate the registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Bootstrap]
"BootstrapDir"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\110\\Setup Bootstrap\\"


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Bootstrap\Setup]
"PatchLevel"="11.00.2100.60"


2. Next, copy the following files and folders from the media to the specified destinations:



File/Folder in media | Destination
X64/X86 folder (depending on what architecture you want to install) | C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2012

Setup.exe | C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2012

Resources folder | C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2012
Next, re-run the setup, and it should proceed beyond the point of error this time.
