When I try to run the SQL SERVER 2008 setup, it shows the following error and exits:
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Configuration.Internal.ConfigurationManagerInternal' to type 'System.Configuration.Internal.IConfigSystem'.
Error code 0x84B10001.
When I try to install SQL SERVER 2014, it installer doesn't start and it also exits with the following error:
![[SQL SERVER 2014 Error][1] (I linked the error image because I don't have enough reps to post images.)](../../I/static/images/09d35c10b8ffc82cfd3b5f2ef6f2168cab5f4d052a217497a37d9f04a725617e.png)
I have used the SQL SERVER 2008 previously and it worked correctly. But after a windows update today it stopped working and I tried to re-install and it started giving the error mentioned above. As for SQL SERVER 2014, the setup works properly in a friend's PC.
I tried the following resolutions after searching the Internet but none of them worked.
- I edited the config file at C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\machine.config by removing the system.serviceModel tag and its contents
- I created an new local user with administrative rights and tried to install the setups from within the new user account.
My OS is Windows 8 Pro(x64)
How can I fix this error? Any help or suggestion is appreciated and thanks in advance.

As the installation depends on the .NET framework, I suggest trying the Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool.
