SQL 2012 install on Windows 2012

When performing a SQL 2012 installation on a Windows 2012 server I received the following error from the SQL Install:

This error occurs :The specified value for setting MEDIALAYOUT is invalid
The expected values are
None Core Advanced Full

This is fixed by changing the installation string to include the MEDIALAYOUT parameter

C:\SPADE\Install\setup.exe /ACTION=Install /MEDIALAYOUT=Core /CONFIGURATIONFILE=quotC:\SPADE\Configuration.iniquot

Is there a better (supported) way of doing this? Has anyone else run into the same issue?

Tony,

Thanks for reporting the issue. I haven't seen that yet, but we haven't been installing on Windows Server 2012 yet.

Another option for fixing that is to add the MEDIALAYOUT=CORE to the template ini file or to the template overrides in the config or the script (any SQL install parameter can be used in any of those 3 locations). Those options, however, would require regression
testing of SQL 2012 on older versions of Windows Server to ensure they don't cause a different failure.

Thanks,
Michael
