Hi Microsoft Team: I'm just wondering why are Microsoft products are so frustratingly complicated to install???
Recently, I tried to install Microsoft SQL Server Express 2012 but gave me plenty of headaches e.g. SP1 not installed, not found, instance not found, SQL Profiler not included, SSDT not included this component missing, that component missing, blah, blah....In a nutshell, the application is crippled and incomplete. 
Only if you have the luxury to purchase the Developer version, then that’s  a different scenario altogether.   I know the intention of Microsoft is to make money but consider other less unfortunate people (Forget about Dreamspark!) In a way, this has become a hindrance to students and workers out there who wanna learn more about C#, VB, SQL, etc. 
It wasn't the case when I installed other IDEs like Eclipse, Oracle, which were very easy to install and comprehend. < ...

Go to the complete details ...
