Framework 4 no longer uses caspol.exe per running the command line; C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727>caspol.exe -all -reset Microsoft (R) .NET Framework CasPol 2.0.50727.5420 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. ERROR: Runtime error: This method explicitly uses CAS policy, which has been obs oleted by the .NET Framework. In order to enable CAS policy for compatibility re asons, please use the NetFx40_LegacySecurityPolicy configuration switch. Please see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=155570 for more information. Now I extracted the executable and the configuration file used for the setup seems to indicate that it is using the legacy flags indicated in the CAS link. I ran the exact same command line on the 32 bit folder C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>caspol.exe -all -reset And it successfully created security.config and security.config.cch in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\config In desperation, I copied those files into the 64 bit folder; C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\config And ran the installation, successfully installing SQL 2012. Here's the rub, WHY can the security.config files not be created? It seems to indicate it tries to create them but fails, I am logged in as an administrator on the machine and I did run the setup using elevated rights (right click run as administrator) I'm flumoxed, anyone else run into similar issues? Have any clues or ideas? Thanks. Connie |

you're trying to install SQL Server 2012 Express Edition 32-bit on a 64-bit Windows which is not supported. (wowow not supported by SQL 2012 express edition)
please download 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2012 Express and try to install this version.

if you read the foot note in the download page for SQL Server 2012 Express Edition you get this
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express includes both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. SQLEXPR32_x86 is a smaller package that can be used to install SQL Server Express onto only 32-bit operating system
Personally I interpret it the way that WOW64 is not really support as some additional components for SQL Server 2012 Express are available only as pure 32-bit or pure 64-bit, e.g. LocalDB does not work in

In addition, some strange issues had been reported when WMI was not enabled, could you check that WMI is running?

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express includes both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. SQLEXPR32_x86 is a smaller package that can be used to install SQL Server Express onto only 32-bit operating system
And I would agree, but I'm not using SQLEXPR32_x86, I'm using SQLEXPR_x86, which is supposed to be 32/64 compliant.
WMI service is started (which is what I take your "check that WMI is running" to mean).
As to Net 3.5 SP1 the version installed, is the version that comes default with Windows 7, I can't actually 'install' or 'uninstall' it, I have used the windows features to turn it on/off. It does indicate 3.5.1 which I presume to mean 3.5 SP1.
With the feature turned on the donetfx35.exe extracts then the install dies and gives me the standard 'this program may not have installed properly' error message.
I turned the windows feature off and proceeded to install, it extracted, downloaded then it installs and stops with a compatibility issue indicating that I have to install the OS language pack to enable this functionality MS .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Language pack (I haven't even asked it to install that), and it then proceeds to uninstall what it had installed.
This is the contents of that log;

@thealexdresko,
hey did you try running in command line (using run as administrator)
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>caspol.exe -all -reset
It should create: security.config and security.config.cch in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\config
Copy those files into the 64 bit folder; C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\config
Then try installing SQL.

Actually, I got around that particular problem, I think, by exporting "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Sql Server" from a machine where SQL 2012 was working properly and importing it back on to the broken machine.
I got several other errors along the way though.. Through some combination of manually copying the x64 and licenses from the source media to c:\program files\Microsoft Sql Server\Setup Bootstrap, uninstalling and reinstalling several times, I finally got it to work.

In case anybody is as dumb as me. Make sure you are installing the full installer and not just the service pack....
