SQL Express 2014 on Relius 2021 Components ISO
Note: DISC: is substituted for volume of mounted components ISO
SQL 2014 fresh install from components disc fails 10 on Windows 10 with two issues:
In DISC:\SQL2014\SQL2014NewSetup.ini the use of {drive} as a relative path fails
In DISC:\SQL2014\SQL2014NewSetup.ini INSTALLSHAREDDIR and INSTALLSHAREDWOWDIR can not have the same value
To fix this:
Mount the ISO as a drive
Copy DISC:\SQL2014\SQL2014NewSetup.ini to C:\SQL2014NewSetup.ini
Remove read-only file attribute from C:\SQL2014NewSetup.ini
Open Notepad as admin
Edit C:\SQL2014NewSetup.ini
Find/Replace {DRIVE} with actual target volume drive letter of SQL install (i.e C:)
Find INSTALLSHAREDDIR in file and add SQLInstallShared to end of specified path
Find INSTALLSHAREDDIR in file and add SQLInstallSharedWOW to end of specified path
Save file
Using admin cmd/powershell run: DISC:\SQL2014\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU\setup.exe /Configurationfile=C:\SQL2014NewSetup.ini
