Hi.

I am trying to install MS SQL Server 2012, and I am getting the next error in the "Install Setup files" step:

"The following error has occurred:

An error occurred during the installation of assembly

Folks:

I just spent 24 hours trying to research this problem.  This has affected every product I want to use that interfaces to MS SQL Server 2012.  My development machine is in need of recovery.  I de-installed my old products and I have to recover from backups.  Every new product (2012 and 2013) I downloaded had failed on this ERROR when it touches a SQL Server install or some VC Redistributable kit;

***'Microsoft.VC80.ATL,version="8.0.50727.6229", publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchitecture="amd64",type="win32"***

, for one reason or another (SqlSupport.msi).

After extensive Internet research and many drill downs, it sounds like this issue has been around for years on and off.  It is now ON again.  No solution worked which tells me it is a serious architectural issue or complex upward compatibility issue.  Because the installs actually work on my non-development machines that have little software installed.

It needs a cleanup routine, and a simple straight forward install routine.  I found someone who reported this a bug and I am looking forward to a solution.

Go MS
