I need to install SQL Server Express with a Silent Installation, using a configuration file. I created a configuration file, but when I execute the setup.exe and pass the file as parameter, I get the following error:
TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
The specified value for setting 'MEDIALAYOUT' is invalid. The expected values are:
None
Core
Advanced
Full
Error code 0x84B40001.
My command to start the installation is:
setup.exe /configurationfile = C:\Users\desenv01\Desktop\SQL Server 2014\Configuration\ConfigurationFile.ini.
Could anyone help me?

I have a project that installs an SQL server using a command line string. The string worked fine of SQL Server 2012 Express but now I am trying the same string using SQL Server 2014 Express Service Pack 1 and the installation fails and I receive this error in the summary log.
My command:

Any ideas? Thank you!
You are not installing SQL Server Express but a service pack "upgrade package", hence Install is probably invalid. Try using Upgrade or Patch
See: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46694
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 SP1 Update - this package contains the
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Service Pack 1 update to be applied to
existing SQL Server 2014 installations.

I am using SQL Server 2014 and I have created an SSIS package in SSMS using the Import Data Wizard.
The package imports a table from the database of a linked server and creates a copy on the main database. The SSMS wizard executed all the steps correctly and during one of the steps, I saved the settings as an SSIS package in the File System.
I then created a SQL Server Agent job to execute the package on a daily basis. The job failed to execute with the following error message:

I tried to open the package in SSDT, but it failed giving me the same error messages as mentioned above.
What might be causing this error?
You can have a look at the value of Run64BitRuntime debug parameter and try different value True or False.
Depending of your environment, some DLL of third party software can be in conflict.
Also, if your SQL Server instance is on an other server than the computer on wich you want to run the job, you may not be able to execute the package with features you have not installed on this machine.
SSDT, Connector to each remote database / file etc..
Have a look at your SSDT version, if the package is generated via SSMS, it can have a version wich is not recognize by your local machine.
I have built my database project for SQL Server 2012. And I am using following command to prepare deployment script,
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DAC\bin\SqlPackage.exe" /Action:Script /TargetDatabaseName:DacPacTest1 /TargetServerName:"demo2012util" /SourceFile:"C:\some\path\DBProject\Database\sql\debug\Database.dacpac" /op:"C:\some\path\DBProject\test2.sql"
I am getting this error
*** Could not load package from 'C:\some\path\DBProject\Database\sql\debug\Database.dacpac'. Could
not find a part of the path
'C:\some\path\DBProject\Database\sql\debug\Database.dacpac'.
It appears that I might have wrong database target and this error is because of that, but I have verified that I have built project using SQL Server 2012 as target and SQLPackage.exe is also same SQL Server version (110).
Any suggestions?
I'm installing SQL Server 2012 at the moment and when I was about to run the installation, this error pops up:
On clicking the first failed test, which is "Reporting Services Catalog Database File Existence", this is what i get:
On clicking the second failed test, which is "Reporting Services Catalog Temporary Database File Existence", this is what i get:
So basically, both of the message box says me that "Catalog Database File" & "Catalog Temporary database files exists". Because of this, i need to select Reporting Services file-only mode installation.
My questions are:
How do i select file-only mode installation?
Do i've to close the setup and do something and afterwards run the setup again?
Btw, I had SQL Server 2012 installed before. I uninstalled it completely due to some strange errors and decided to reinstall a fresh copy of SQL Server 2012 and now I'm stuck with these errors. Any help will be sincerely appreciated. :)
Since you already had one installation of SQL Server done before, there was a database already created. That did not get removed. So when you reinstall, its trying to create the database with the same name, hence, the error. You need to delete the old files to continue the new installation.
From the direcotry
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA
Remove the following files
ReportServer.mdf
ReportServer_log.LDF
ReportServerTempDB.mdf
ReportServerTempDB_log.LDF
Try the Following link for further help.
Reporting Services Catalog Error.
For sql-server-2012 the path is:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQL2012\MSSQL\DATA
where MSSQL2012 is the instance name and the respective file names are:
ReportServer$MSSQL2012.mdf
ReportServer$MSSQL2012_log.mdf
ReportServer$MSSQL2012TempDB.mdf
ReportServer$MSSQL2012TempDB_log.mdf
Remove the following files from the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA directory:
bulletReportServer.mdf
bulletReportServer_log.LDF
bulletReportServerTempDB.mdf
bulletReportServerTempDB_log.LDF.
This happens if you reinstall SQL Server and these files weren't deleted.
Our database server had run out of disk space, after freeing up some disk space any query run in sql server management studio, with the results sent to grid view, resulted in this error:
An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: The directory name is invalid.
When the results sent to text view the queries worked fine.
Does anyone know why this error occurs and how to get rid of it?
All you need to do is to open command prompt and type:
mkdir %temp% and press Enter.
Simple as that. No logout/login required.
Received the message:
SQL Server - An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: The directory name is invalid
When trying to execute a query in Management Studio after deleting temp files from c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp
Resolved when logging out of server session and back in again.
This resolution fixes this error on the following environments:
Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2012
Sql Server 2005
Sql Server 2008
Sql Server 2008 R2
Sql Server 2012
Sql Server 2014
Sql Server 2016
I had similar problem on SQL Server 2012. I checked the folder value in %TEMP% variable (echo %TEMP% from command prompt ) and noticed that the folder did not exist. I created the folder and it did the trick!
I had this issue on my webserver (windows server r2 running SQL Server 2012)
The directory name is invalid.
(mscore lib)
Logging out (killing my remote session) and logging back in fixed the issue for me.
Is the "Default Location for saving Query Results" set to a valid path in Tools/Options/Query Results/SQL Server/General?
Do the TMP/TEMP environment variables point to valid directories?
Reinstalling the client tools will probably fix the problem.
I had this same issue on my Windows 7 machine. I actually encountered the error both in SQL Server Management Studio and Visual Studio 2012. I checked my temp directory and found over 66,000 files. Significantly, there were a large number of files called tmpXXXX.tmp where XXXX was a hex number. The problem was that the files went all the way up to tmpFFFF.tmp. So whatever was creating the temp files was not cleaning them up properly and eventually just ran out of files. The solution was to delete all the files in that folder. Not surprisingly, this also greatly improved performance.
The temp folder can be found at: %TEMP% which will be correct for both XP and Win7.
I was facing this problem for a long time.....simple answer for this problem An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: The directory name is invalid is just free up the disk drive space ....my problem resloved by this may be this will be helpful for many more...
I faced the same problem if DB was created in SQL Server 2008 and it was opened by SQL Server 2005. Just reopen it in 2008.
I was facing the same problem,
so to check this i typed %temp% and it gives an error for folder not found .../temp/2
so i created a folder name 2 inside temp folder and restart the sql server.
which works for me.
I know it can sound like a joke, but have you tried restarting SQL Server instance?
Yesterday i faced the same error "The directory name is invalid" when i tried to open New Query Window in SQL Management Studio 2014. It happened after cleaning (deleting) %temp% folder files.
I Restarted SQL services but no luck!
My problem was solved after restarting the server.
