I have tried everything i can think f to install SQL 2012 but no luck I am getting these errors but after looking through the logs I can't find the actual cause to get a solution.

every feature gives me this error in the summary:

Detailed results: Feature: Management Tools - Complete Status: Failed: see logs for details Reason for failure: An error occurred for a dependency of the feature causing the setup process for the feature to fail. Next Step: Use the following information to resolve the error, and then try the setup process again.

There is not information to resolve the error!

here is the last few lines from detail.txt about the installation:

Which version of win 7 and SQL 2012 are you using? Please include x86/64 – swasheck Sep 19 '12 at 20:02

Can you verify that PowerShell is correctly installed on Windows and that you have also installed the .Net 3.5 framework? – Nic Sep 19 '12 at 21:06
How do i verify the Powershell is correctly installed? I know it's installed and it works because I use it each week to run some scripts for database build using PowerShell. and as far as i can see based on the folders in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64 and C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework 3.5 is installed. I am writing .net code in VS2010 in 4.0 as well. – greektreat Sep 20 '12 at 12:56

I had a similar isssue - Win7SP1, VS2010SP1, SQL2008R2, Powershell 2 etc. Every prerequisite was there and still SQL Server 2012 Developers edition did not install. Completing with the following error message for most of the features:

  Feature:                       Database Engine Services
  Status:                        Failed: see logs for details
  Reason for failure:            An error occurred for a dependency of the feature causing the setup process for the feature to fail.
  Next Step:                     Use the following information to resolve the error, and then try the setup process again.

I did analysis on details.txt and figured that failure started with the following line:

Error: Action "Install_sqlncli_Cpu64_Action" failed during execution.

I figured it had something to do with "SQL Server 2012 Native Client". I think I had it installed with Azure SDK or something like this. So, I uninstalled it and re-ran SQL Server 2012 installer and it completed successfully!

Hope this helps.

I'd follow the following MSDN blog instructions: How to Fix a failed SQL 2005, 2008, R2 or 2012 Install/Upgrade - MSSQLSERVER.INACTIVE. It saved my burning arse a few times.

Mainly, what you need to do is (can't quote correctly such a big text):

Start quote:

The REAL Resolution Steps: (don't bother trying to figure out what went wrong...feel free to try the most-recommended resolution first if you'd like...but I'd suggest that if you have the above error/result, do the following:

  • Search your machine for files called Datastore_Discovery.xml (depending on how much you've got or done, you might see many of these...just open the most recent one and you'll be fine

  • Open Datastore_Discovery.xml in an editor...given the formatting, what worked for me was in Visual Studio 2008/2010 and clicking Edit, Advanced, Format Document (this arranges the XML nicely)

  • What you're looking for is all places where MSSQLServer.Inactive exists in the document as the Instance ID...below is a sample of how the line starts:

  • < Instance Urn="Machine[@ID='IWE']/Product[@ID='SQLVNEXT']/Instance[@ID='MSSQLSERVER.INACTIVE']" ID="MSSQLSERVER.INACTIVE"

  • Name="MSSQLSERVER.INACTIVE" ........

  • Scroll along the lines around the above one and find the following value field: ProductCode="{9FFAE13C-6160-4DD0-A67A-DAC5994F81BD}" (and of course, don't ACTUALLY use the code you see here...yours will be different...look for the brackets and use yours :-) )

  • There might be multiple ProductCodes, depending on how many times the line lists MSSQLServer.Inactive, so make sure to find all ProductCodes...BUT BE CAREFUL that you ignore any VALID instances of SQL. Only look for the ones under MSSQLServer.Inactive entries.

  • Now open a command line - For each of the ProductCodes that you found for the Inactive SQL Instances, type the following:

  • msiexec /x {9FFAE13C-6160-4DD0-A67A-DAC5994F81BD}

  • Do this for each Product Code that relates to an Inactive Instance

  • Once complete, go back to your SQL installation media and run Setup

  • Once the main splash screen launches, click on Tools, then Installed SQL Server features discovery report

  • This will launch a web page listing the SQL Instances and all features per instance

  • If you still see any MSSQLSERVER.INACTIVE there, you missed one of the ProductCodes and you need to double check. Otherwise, all of the orphaned SQL Instances should now be gone, and you can either Add Features or do a clean Default Instance reinstall

End quote.

This is what I did a few times to fix a corrupted installation and it worked flawlessly. I reinstalled only Reporting Services this way and so I didn't disable or deactivate the complete instance. A packaging engineer told me it's a usual stuff one should do to fix a corrupted application installation (remove corrupted components), but I admit I didn't know how to do that for each separate component of the SQL Server. Hopefully this will give you a hint and will work for you too.

The answer isn't great but after multiple tries over a period of time i found nothing worked but when Microsoft released SQL 2012 with sp1 in our MSDN subscription I tried that Install and it work!
