Prerequisites for installing Data Import Export Framework failing

Posted on by Tommy Skaue Moderator

This is Windows 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2012. Visual Studio 2010 is also installed.

I have used process monitor to view how setup is attempting to access various registry keys and local files, and one major problem is how it attempts to access 7.0A version of the SDK. I've tried various things to try trick the installer, but I am stuck. I am sure it is the gacutil utility it needs to make sure setup can continue, but installing Windows SDK 7.1 does not do the trick.

Anyone with any bright ideas before I create a support request on this. :-(

Here is a screenshot:

Well, I have made sure the gacutil is located everywhere the installer looks for it, by using Process Monitor to view any unsuccessful attempts.

I've also installed the 8.0 SDK just to try see if that would make the necessary assemblies discovered by the installer.

Right now I am trying to first install this:

And then this:

This shouldn't be this hard. ;-)

Hey Tommy,

I am using a Windows 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008.

Before I had installed Visual Studio 2010 Premium I received very strange errors, similar to “your errors”.

After installing Visual Studio 2010 Premium and updated it to the current version via windows update the prerequisite validation passed successfully....

Regards

I will probably do the same in my sandbox, but on this exact server I do not really want to install Visual Studio 2010. We already have it on the development box which is not running SQL Server. Obviously Visual Studio 2010 Shell is installed, along with BIDS.

I tried to install SP1 and the VS 2010 SDK, but it didn't make the installer pass.

So is the fix to install Visual Studio 2010 on my SQL Server 2012 server? I'd rather not do that if it can be avoided, but I cannot get past the prerequisite checks either.

Hey guys,

try to download the package again. They definitely changed something (the executable is slightly bigger now and the date of it changed to 3/17/13).

Maybe the problem you are facing was fixed in there... But that's just a guess.

Thanks for the tip. The installer has changed.

Unfortunately for me, it still fails, even though the util is there.

Hi Tommy.

Take a look at this post. The Gacutil utility needs to be in a specific directory. This worked for me.
