  • The file wasn't in the said directory, the setup program was just trying to copy it there and failed. It showed your the error because it failed. And you can't find the file in the directory also because it failed. That's just to explain the error message, which, I agree, might be a tiny bit confusing. I'm afraid I don't have the answer to the question why it failed. Hopefully someone will come up with a good one. – Andriy M Feb 14 '19 at 10:10
  • thanks for guidance. But still have this problem. I'm also trying and trying since yesterday – zohaib Feb 14 '19 at 10:43
  • Looks like that file is part of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package. Do you still get this error after a restart of the OS ? Try pre-installing these packages, restart, and start the SQL install again: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555 and https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632 – Razvan Zoitanu Feb 14 '19 at 13:43
  • You can also search for more details on the error by opening the setup log as described: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/install-windows/view-and-read-sql-server-setup-log-files?view=sql-server-2014 – Razvan Zoitanu Feb 14 '19 at 13:48

  • What version of Windows do you have? It would be best if you could post the SQL setup log to pastebin.com and provide the link here, I might be able to replicate the error on my lab with this information. – Razvan Zoitanu Feb 15 '19 at 18:50
  • For the 140 error try the 2015 version of the redist: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=48145 Also make sure you run Windows Update and restart before retrying the SQL setup. – Razvan Zoitanu Feb 16 '19 at 07:42
