Error 1935 Microsoft.VC90.MFCLOC.

Applies to: SQL Server 2012 Express Edition with Tools, Windows Server 2008 R2.
 

Problem Description.
 

I was installing SQL Server 2012 Express Edition on Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 when I received the following error:


Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC90.MFCLOC, version="9.0.30729.4974", publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchitecture="x86",type="win32". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x80071A30.







Solution
 

On the above screen I clicked on the OK button, then I received the another message from SQL Server setup as shown below.





I clicked the Retry button and then SQL Server setup was able to finish successfully.





However, even when SQL Server setup finished successfully, I will download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) anyway, since the Microsoft.VC90.MFCLOC assembly shown on the error message is related to VC++ 2008. If SQL Server setup would have aborted the SQL Server installation when the first error appeared, I would have opted to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package as first step to troubleshoot the issue.

So I downloaded the software from here and install it.

 
Once the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package was installed, I then applied SP2 for SQL Server 2012 successfully too.
