When I attempt to install SQL 2008 R2 Express on a Windows 2008 R2 server, the files extract and nothing else happens. There are no event log entries. I've tried a variety of editions of SQL 2008 R2 Express. Same results. If I extract
the files and run setup, a black box flashes on the screen and nothing else happens.
I've ran it as administrator. This is on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit and I'm attempting to install the 64-bit version. I've attempted 2005 and 2012 as well. Same result.
There are no errors, no dialog boxes, and no event log entries.
