Cannot install SQL 2012,

Question

Had 2008 but it got corrupt, and now it when I try to insatll 2012 always gives me HRESULT - 0x800736B3 and stops installation.

Answer 1

Hi, what is the error message that you get?  Does it show the assembly name that is causing the problem?  There's a connect issue reported with a workaround for this error if the assembly in question is Microsoft.VC90.ATL.

Other times, I've seen this problem with anti-virus software.  Can you disable your AV when you run setup to see if this gets around the issue, then re-enable it when complete.

Thanks,

Hi Jorge,

As Sam post, the problem of HRESULT-0x800736B3 may be occured by Microsoft.VC90.ATL or anti-virus software. Please post more errors information for analysis. We can refer to the Setup Log Files. The log folders were located at %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Summary.txt,
and %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log\<YYYYMMDD_HHMM>\Detail.txt. 

There are some notes about installing SQL Server 2012, For example,we need to verify the minimum hardware and software requirements have been met on your computer.

There is a similar issue about troubleshooting the issue of HRESULT-0x800736B3, you can review the article.
