I am trying to install SQL Server 2016 enterprise version on Windows 2012 R2. When I click New SQL Server installation I am getting exception "SQL Server setup has encountered the following error: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation"

Looking at the log file I do see this error, However when I searched for this DLL I do see it exists in one of the folder in the installation directory.

Unable to load DLL 'sqlmu.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

Hello,

If you are installing from your hard disk, could please try to burn the media into a DVD, and install from there.

If you download the media as an ISO, do not mount the media on the server and unzip the ISO content into a folder (c:\Tempo), then run SQL Server setup from there.

Try to download the media again.

Hope this helps.
