    Anyone experienced this?

  • yes it passed all pre installation checks except firewall which had a warning.

    I got the sql server 2012 from a microsoft download page it was sql server 2012 64 bit with service pack 1

    i know I said in my original post that I couldn't install 2014 and 2016 due to system requirements. Sometimes it would pop up with this message and then other times it didn't. So I tried installing 2014 as well but got an error at same point of the install as 2012.

  • The error message says "Error description: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation."

    Looks like you don't have permissions to install on your machine.

    Excuse my typos and sometimes awful grammar. My fingers work faster than my brain does.

  • The user I am running the install with is a local administrator and I am running the setup as "run as administator".

    Could it possibly have something to do with the default user selected in the install for running the database engine service?

  • Out of interest, what OS are you using, Your logs say "OS version: Future Windows Version"???
