Trying to install SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition on my laptop.
I keep getting an error about cannot write out the XML file.
SQL Server setup encountered the following error. There was an error
generating the XML document. Error code 0X84B10001
I am running the setup.exe as administrator of the box.
What can I do to get around this please?
I found the issue. I had no password on my computer. I finally found the sql server error log and it was giving more detail about a Cryptographic Exception doing something with the registry. I then added a password in, and now it’s installed and working fine.
Crazy error, but I understand why you wouldn’t want this situation.
