I’ve installed SQL Server 2012 Express advanced edition on a clean (just OS without any third-party soft) w7x64 residing on VirtualBox 4.1.18. I’ve chosen every needed option to install, but after installation there is no SQL Server Express service running on guest OS on virtual machine. Also I have the same edition of SQL Server installed on my host OS which is also w7x64. Please give me any clues to what may be the cause of this issue.
