Hello,
I'm trying to install SQL Server 2012 and I'm having trouble entering in the INSTANCENAME.
I have read on some forums that the default value for this is MSSQLSERVER. Regardless of what values I put in, I get the following error message.
TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.------------------------------
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
There was a failure to validate setting INSTANCENAME in validaton function ValidateInstanceName.
Error code 0x85640004.
