SQL Server installation fails: Unable to cast object of type System.Int64 to type System.String
User reported that the installation of the Microsoft SQL Server (instance ADOXX15EN) fails using the Bee-Up installer. When trying to manually install the SQL Server (Version 2012) they got the error: "Unable to cast object of type System.Int64 to type System.String":
They tried, without success:
- Downloading Bee-Up again
- Installing using a different user
- Updating Windows
- Restarting the PC
- Closing all other programs
Search for that kind of error mostly resulted in problems when USING SQL Server not INSTALLING it.
