Trouble installing SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Services - sql-server-2012

Whenever I try to install SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Services I am getting this error:
I have tried both version (32-bit/64-bit) and re-downloaded multiple times.
How can I solve it ?

Check if you have .Net framework 4 installed at your machine. If not - download it and install it and then try again with SQL Server.
Also check this bug at Microsoft site about .Net framework 4 (there is workaround explained in the bug).

FWIW, I just downloaded and installed SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe from HERE on a vanilla Win7Pro/64 VirtualBox virtual machine and encountered no errors.
Edit
I also installed SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe from that same location on an older Vista machine. The SQL Server installer told me that it needed some new .NET components, then it proceeded to download and install them. I didn't need to manually install anything ahead of time.
Also perhaps worth noting:
Both of the machines on which my installs were successful had no anti-virus software installed. (They are development boxes behind a firewall and I don't do email or web surfing on them.)

Please make sure you have downloaded the x86 version of both prerequisites.

Error 0x84b10001 when installing SQL Server 2012 on a machine with VS2013

I'm trying to install SQL Server Express with Service Pack 1 on my Win8 Pro (x64) development machine and I'm consistently getting an error 0x84b10001 when trying to install it:
Antivirus is disabled during the installation (done as Administrator) and I tried 2 versions of the SQL Server Express package and I'm getting the same issue with both.
I'm getting the same issue whether I'm trying the x86 or x64 packages.
I suspect that the issue comes from the fact that Visual Studio 2013 has already installed some SQL Server packages but I do not see any way to update and modify these to add the Management Studio for istance.
Well, turns out that this cryptic error is due to an older instance of SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) being present.
After uninstalling MSDE, the SQL Server 2012 setup worked without errors.
Create a new local user with administative rights and try the installation again. In my case it solves the problem with MSSQL 2008R2.
Create new user with administrative privileges and install using that user. It worked.
Remove folder:
C:\Users[USER ID]\AppData\Local\Microsoft_Corporation
It worked for me.
If you try to install SQL Server 2014 and get this error, use this web site:
http://anewdomain.net/2013/10/21/how-to-enable-net-framework-2-0-and-3-5-in-windows-8-1-for-older-programs/
You should install .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.5 first. You should check the framework versions on your PC. If you have only 4.5, you will continue to get the same error code.
Anyway, I fixed my trouble.
I hope it helps you too.
In my case, it was because trying to install an x86 package on an x64 windows, installing x64 package worked for me.

How do I deploy NServicebus Hosts from Visual Studio to my Server?

I'm running Visual Studio 2012 and my Server is Windows Server 2012 Essentials. I've installed MSMQ and then ran the NServicebus4 installer (the release notes says to install MSMQ first).
Everything works fine on my workstation, and I want to deploy to a server. My assumption is that all I need to do is copy everything from bin to my server, and install the host.exe as a service. That seems clunky.
Surely there is an established recommended procedure for deployement, and that someone will tell me to RTFM, except I'm not sure where the manual is. I saw that for version 3 there was an interface I could implement, but is deprecated for version 4, and version 4 has powershell commandlets, but that seems to be for preparing a server for first run. I need to install actual host services now.
See the Installation heading in The NServiceBus Host in the documentation. It's a ways down the page. TL;DR: You run the same command line host with the /install parameter. There are additional options to customize. Is that what you're referring to as clunky because it's pretty straightforward as far as installing services goes.
As far as RTFM, there is a book on the subject now. (Disclaimer: I wrote it.)

Sharepoint 2010 installation preliminaries

First of all sorry if this is a repost or is found to be duplicate.
I'm about to install sharepoint 2010 in my laptop for development. I'm using a laptop with win 7 64-bit with 8GB RAM, with vs 2010 installed.
I'm having SP2010 with SP1 standard license.
Have went to lot of pre-requisite advisory pages but haven't got a satisfactory/complete answer and hence decided to pen down my doubts here.
Below are my queries
Can i start by auto-running the CD (sorry if it sounds a lot stupid. kindly take note that i'm at beginning stage of SP2010 with VS programming background).
Can i connect to sql server 2005 (32-bit) from sp2010 after installation for programming. Is it possible technically.
Should i need to install sql 2005/2008 (64-bit) before installing SP2010 or can i install it after completing installation of SP2010.
PLEASE provide pointers if any so that i can have a hiccup free, successful installation of sp2010.
Edit:
Have downloaded a bunch of files from the below url
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27417
Can anyone advise which virtual machine i should use to run the vhd image for sp2010
Thanks :)
Installing on Windows 7 is not recommended and tends to run into some incompatibilities. Can you use a virtual machine? Here is a link which is useful for Win 7 installation.
Answering your questions:
You can install from the DVD or a mounted Image.
You can use SQL 2005 but only 64Bit.
You should install SQL server before installing SharePoint so it will be more automated

Oracle Instant Client with web application

I have a visual studio solution with an ASP.NET 3.5 web application (WCF host) and a test project. I wanted to use the Oracle Instant Client (v11, via NHibernate) to create Oracle connections without having the Oracle client tools installed on every "involved" machine (dev, CI server, test server, production server).
The weird thing is that on my development machine (x86) my tests run without problem, while my web application still gives me the following error message: System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater
Things I ruled out already:
The bin folder has read & execute permissions for everyone
The DLL's are unblocked (windows 7)
Problem occurs with both Visual Studio Development Server and IIS 7
I've also tested this on a machine with Oracle client tools installed and that works
I even managed to get the tests running on our x64 CI server (more info).
Anyone has a clue on what I am missing?
I see this error almost every time I set up Oracle on a new machine.
Check that the oracle bin folder is in your path
Give read and execute permission to everyone on the client folder (on my machine C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1)
Changing permissions may not take effect until you reboot your machine.
EDIT:
From your comment, steps 2 and 3 are irrelevant for Oracle Instant Client. Hoverer, I would guess that the problem is still that the system cannot find the Oracle Instant Client DLLs. It would be worth putting the location of these DLLs into your path and seeing if this resolves it.
From http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-100365.html
Installation Instructions
Installation Steps:
Download the appropriate Instant Client packages for your platform. All installations REQUIRE the Basic or Basic Lite package.
Unzip the packages into a single directory such as "instantclient".
Set the library loading path in your environment to the directory in Step 2 ("instantclient"). On many UNIX platforms, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the appropriate environment variable. On Windows, PATH should be used.
Start your application and enjoy.
