NPM Trial installation fails

cha047

Hey!

Trying to install the NPM Trial I get the following error: "Instaallation of Microsoft SQL Server Express Failed. Invalid exit code: -2053898239"

I am installing on a VMware running Windows Server 2012 R2.

I have see a few other reports of a similar error, but with a different error code. But they don't seam to be related to my problem.

If some one could help, it would be much appreciated.

Re-run the installation, but select Advanced instead of Express.

You will need to manually install Microsoft SQL (SQL Express is a free license, and install documentation and video are readily available), or utilize a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 r2 or higher in your environment to connect to to create the database. The Configuration Wizard that comes up after the installation will setup and create the database, but a Microsoft SQL Server is required for the database.
