SQL Server 2014 installation freezes

sandeepkumar1 — Fri, 15 Jan 2016 07:17:17 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2014 from the CD provided through my MSDN subscription.

I launch the wizard, which completes all steps until the "Installation Progress" step (the one before last) .

In this step, the program freezes at the following action: "Install_sql_common_core_Cpu64_Action : Write_NativeImages_64 : Generating Native Images".

Help ! What should I do ??

Thanks

Some users have reported that they were able to successfully install SQL Server after removing remnants of previous installations. Please perform the following steps to manually uninstall SQL Server:

1. Uninstall all SQL Server components you can using Control Panel -> Programs and Features

2. Backup the registry.

3. Delete the following keys in regedit:

--HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server

--HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer

4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and delete all the sub-keys referencing SQL Server.

5. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and delete all the keys referencing SQL Server.

6. Rename all the SQL Server folders in the computer like

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server and subfolders.

Other users have reported that killing the NGEN.EXE process using Task Manager helped them.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Alex
