Please can you help me solve the below error when installing Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012.

Below is the exact error :-

Softwares I have installed :-

1. OS : Windows 8 Pro 64 Bit

2. Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3128.0 (X64)
    Dec 28 2012 20:23:12
    Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation
    Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2 <X64> (Build 9200: )

3. MS Visual Studio 2012 v11.0.50727.1 RTMREL

Note : Same setup works on Windows 7 OS meaning the msi is NOT corrupt.

Thanks,

Hi Shirish,

you need to check the installation log.

I would restart, close all programs and then start the installation running the setup.exe as Admin.

If fails again please provide exact details how to reproduce.

Where's the install log? Running as admin doesn't work.
