I have been told to installation SQL server on a machine. As I don't have proper permissions I had to try couple of times install/ uninstall the SQL server on the same machine...
Finally, I got the permissions and thought it will go smooth from now. But suddenly I got the following error during my next try...
Solution:
If your operating system is Windows 8, 7, Vista:
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Microsoft_Corporation\LandingPage.exe_StrongName_ryspccglaxmt4nhllj5z3thycltsvyyx\10.0.0.0
If Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\local settings\application data\Microsoft_Corporation\LandingPage.exe_StrongName_ryspccglaxmt4nhllj5z3thycltsvyyx\10.0.0.0
drive to that folder and Rename the file "user.config" to "user.config.bak" (no quotes).
Reason: Every time you try the install SQL, it try to create 'user.config' file in the above folder(vary from OS to OS). During your last uninstall SQL it didn't clean up properly from the folder...
So as it tries to create every time during the installation, it tried creating the file and rejected as the file already exists in the folder.. So please rename it.
