  Hi,

  Can you help me please to solve this problem i had and try to fix for 3 days.

  I try to install SQL Server 2012 Express Edition and i obtain this error message :

  "Could not find the Database Engine startup handle : error 0x851A0019"

  My OS is Windows 8.1

  I also try to install SQLServer 2008 Express Edition and i have the same problem

  But las year i installed with success on Windows Seven.

  I dont understand where is the problem with Windows 8.1

  I'm very frustrated againt Microsoft politics. We lost time for simple operations.

  Thanks in advance
