I am running Windows 8, and I was unable to successfully install SQL Server 2012 Express using "SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU". I ran the file and from there I tried a standalone installation. Then, I waited for about one hour for the program to install
the setup files. I decided to close the program since nothing happened, and I tried running "SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU" again. This time, I clicked on the option for a standalone installation, and I received a message saying that "SQL Server 2012 Setup is already
running." So, I closed the program again, and Windows Compatibility popped up and realized that something was wrong. To sum it up, I believe that SQL Server 2012 Express is not compatible with Windows 8. Did anyone else experience
the same issue?
