SQL Server 2012 setup fails immediately (Error result: -2067529723) I am trying to install SQL Server Enterprise Core 2012 w SP1 64bit (as downloaded from the Microsoft Partner Program site) on a 64-bit Windows 2008 R2 SP1 server. When simply right-clicking on SETUP.EXE in the root and selecting Run as Administrator, seemingly nothing happens. When I run it from a Command Prompt (Run as Administrator), I get this:


  An error occurred during the SQL Server 2012 Setup operation.
  
  Error result: -2067529723
  Result facility code: 1220
  Result error code: 5
  
  For more information, review SQL Server 2012 Setup logs in your temp
  folder.


No log files were written anywhere. How can I find out what this error is trying to tell me and what I can do to resolve it?
I rebooted the VM, and I was then able to get the Setup to work as expected. I am disappointed that the error message did not provide any indication of what was wrong or what needed to be done to correct the situation, but rebooting seems to have resolved whatever the issue was.
