SQL Server 2012 Installation on Windows 7 with 64 bit

Question

Hello,

I am trying to install SQL Server 2012 on Windows 7 on a 64 bit machine.  I have the SQL Server 2012 Developer's Edition with SP1.  When I run setup, it gives me the following error:

Could not load "System Diagnostics, TraceSource from assembly.  System, Version = 2.0.0.0, culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"

Please advise.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Could you try to download the media again, copy it to a folder on your disk drive, and run SQL Server setup from there.

Hope this helps.
