I get error "Microsoft .NET Framework CAS Policy Manager has stopped working" when attempting to
install MS SQL Server Express on an Azure Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine. The error occurs for any version of SQL Server Express (2008,2012, 2014 have been tried)
Please, How do I eliminate that error so I can install SQL Server Express?
Here are some of the things I have tried:
- Using Server Manager: Add Feature Net Framework 3.5; Not adding Feature Net Framework 3.5, Adding Role Web Server (IIS) with and without various service roles; Adding or not adding IIS Service Roles for Application Development... ETC. I also tried installing SQL Express 2008 without adding any Features or Roles to the server after deployment. All configurations result in the same error when I try to install SQL Express.
- After, before, and various time during the attempted installation of SQL Server Express, I ran he Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool. That did not help.
- I tried setting up the complete server with IIS, two running websites, installing ASP.NET 4.5.2, running all updates until no updates were found before attempting to install SQL Server Express .... and still no luck adding SQL Express (any version).
- I tried learning about CAS but gave up - it does not even seem applicable to what I am doing. I am not creating any code - just trying to install a MS SQL Express server. This should be all defaulted stuff in the Windows 2008 server virtual machine and SQL Express install - unless SQL Express has changed since CAS was depreciated.
- I installed a
Windows Server 2012 virtual machine in Azure and created all my websites and installed SQL Server Express 2012 - all
without any errors or issues - so this seems to be an issue with the Azure MS Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine.
Can someone explain why I get the error, or better yet one simple set of things to do to eliminate the error and install any version of SQL Server Express (2008, 2012, 2014) on the Azure Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine?
I have created 4 different machines, configuring each in different steps and with different options. I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 because that is the server I will migrate to Azure if (and this is a big if at this time) I can resolve this without becoming a certified highest level IT technician.
