I was installing SQLServer2014_Developer which I had just purchased as a 64bit iso download to VirtualBox Windows_10_64bit Instance that i had just created.
I got the following error about 90% through the SQLServer2014_Developer install:
>>> ===================================================================

Reading though the many Google hits going way back AD-2000/AD-2006/AD-2011/AD-2014 for various installs including SQLserver_2008/2012 etc
I noted that in the main there were x2 common themes.
1. Problem with corruption the original download.
--- Although I had not run the download checksum
--- I had previously just installed SQLServer2014_Developer successfully, so at the minute, I was confident downloads were ok.
--- Many hits mentioned this 'Sql.cab' file and 90% of the install had been successfull -
--- I figured the chances of us all having corruption of this one files were agaianst the odds and
--- probably re-downloading it would not fix this - but I kicked a re-download off anyhow .
While it was running ...
2. Network issue when installing - some of the hits asked if could be related to Virtual drives.
--- This struck a chord
--- I had downloaded the SQLServer2014 .iso to my host PC and then copied it onto one OneDrive so I could access it within the VirtualBox_Windows_10.
--- From within the VirtualBox_Windows_10 I had then used SetupVirtualCloneDrive5450.exe to mount the OneDrive SQLServer2014 .iso and then autorun the install.
What worked for me ...
--- I decided to
--- 1. Copy the same SQLServer2014 .iso that had failed to install x2 from OneDrive to the c:\ root of the VirtualBox_Windows_10.
--- 2. Remount the same SQLServer2014 .iso from c:\ again using SetupVirtualCloneDrive5450.exe.
--- 3. Re-run the SQLServer2014 install using the repair mode.
This time the [Maintenance] [Repair] install completed with all elements showing installed successfully.
Hope this helps
Andy
