one of my friends is currently installing Sql server 2012 and she encountered at "shared features" step. At "Shared features" step, normal installation would give user to select

  • Management tool -Basic
  • Sql Client Connectivity SDK etc depending on server version, right? She can see these features but the problem is these features are disabled( she can't select them).

I do search a lot from Google but all I can find is installation guide. Sorry for not providing screen shots. I believe you guys can help. Thanks for helping.

  • Is this a new default install or a named instance install? – Greenstone Walker May 23 '18 at 04:48
  • @Greenstone Walker, I guess she might have some sql server already installed before. Then she tried to install 2012 and meet with that error. As she is trying to install in desktop , I can't try myself except giving advice. Thanks – Kyaw Zin Thant May 23 '18 at 05:45

  • The SDK is not required.
  • The SQL Management Studio is standalone since some time and can be downloaded here and just be installed after.

Additionally you could try the unattend mode to force installation...
