    Which exact version of AX 2012 R2 are you installing? SQL Server 2014 is supported from CU7, therefore you should have CU7 slipstreamed to your installation files.

    thanks for reply,

    I'm trying to install Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack.

    I think i will try it with SQL Server 2008.

    In that case, use SQL Server 2008 with SP2 or SQL Server 2008 R2. Or you could use newer versions of SQL Server with CU5 for AX 2012 R1.

    You will save time if you check system requirements before installing anything.

    i know, this is my fault.

    I read AX 2012 R3 system requirements.

    thanks a lot for advice again
