Cannot Install Windows 7 Sp1

 admin

Windows 7 SP1 will not install - posted in Windows 7: I am new to this forum. I have been prompted to upgrade my browser to IE11. When attempting to do so, I get a prompt indicating Windows 7 SP1. Install the convenience rollup on your Windows 7 system. More about convenience rollup you can get from Microsoft article Convenience rollup update for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. If your Windows system already has updates installed it will notify you and cancel convenience rollup installation.

I have tried every way I know how to get Windows 7 SP1 to install. It fails every time. Below is what looks like the relevant contents of the CBS.Log file. If there are further details that would help or more information I can gather, I will get it.

I have downloaded the service pack and ran it from the EXE, I have installed it from Windows Update, I have ran all the 'troubleshooting' trouble shots I could find. Nothing has worked so far.

Any advice would be appreciated.

It looks like the hr = 0x80070490 is an error. Which led me eventually to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058from what I can tell there are missing components or something not setup properly, but the above links is to a 'fixit' that should take care of the problem

If the solution by tkrabec does not solve it, download and run the SUR tool, once this is done perform a safe boot and install the downloaded SP1 exe.

As the error message states SQL Server 2016 is not supported in Windows 7. You will have to upgrade to Windows 8 or higher or switch to a Windows Server operating system. Here is a list of all the operating systems (and other hardware and software requirements) in which SQL Server 2016 can be installed.

Here is a workaround for users that need SQL 2016 on a Windows 7 development PC. This will allow the developer to develop and manage them by using using MDFs in LocalDB:

  1. If you don't have Visual Studio 2015 then get it or the 2015 Community Edition
  2. Download and install SQL Server Data Tools. SSDT

Note:

When I initially installed Visual Studio 2015 I chose custom install and selected all options. I was assisting someone else troubleshoot their installation so I installed Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition on another Win 7 Computer. I chose custom Install and under Windows and Web Development options I chose Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools. It stated 2012 SQL Server, but after install and restarting I had both the 2014 and 2016 SqlLocalDB (under 120 and 130 folders respectively). SQL Server Data Tools install may not be needed unless you need SSIS, SSAS or SSRS which I do need.

After all of this you will need SQL Server Management Studio 2016 or higher to connect to the local db and access the 2016 functionality.

After you have installed this there should be a SQL Local DB command Line tool installed. My install location was D:Programfiles130ToolsBinnSqlLocalDB.exe

The default install location as pointed out by Discosultan may be:

My install path was different, but that may be due to the several versions and related components of SQL server that I have installed on the PC and the manner of my installs. Once you have done the install you can search for SqlLocalDB.exe if you have multiple versions and navigate to the 2016 version, (product version 13 in the 130 subfolder).

You can find the install folder path in the registry for SQL 2016 by reviewing the following Registry Entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (Abbreviated to HKLM below):

HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server Local DBInstalled Versions13.0

Cannot Install Windows 7 Sp1 32 Bit

You can run the command line from there or add the directory to the path statement. I have multiple versions so I just go to the directory. Then you create a localDB instance and start it:

SqlLocalDB create 'LocalDBExample2016' -s

From that point if you prefer the GUI you can open SQL server Management Studio 2016 or through Visual Studio and connect to server:

From there you can add databases, etc.

Late to the party, but while you can't install SQL 2017 Express or 2016 Express on Windows 7, you can install SQL 2014 Express. This may not work for compatibility purposes if you're dealing with a newer version of SQL (although I've been able to install the non-express version of SQL 2016 and 2017 to Windows 7) but if you're supporting something that uses an older version of SQL Express (which, frankly, is likely if you don't have access to a newer OS) this should work well enough.
