I'm trying to install SQL Server 2012 in Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Operating System. However this Error keep appearing even though I installed both .NET Framework 3.5.1 and 4.0

The operating system on this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for SQL SERVER 2012. For Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 Operating System. Service Pack 2 or later is required. For windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, Service Pack 1 or later is required. For more information, see hardware and Software Requirements for installing SQL Server 2012 at

And why do you think that the .NET framework version would fix that when the error CLEARLY says:

For windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, Service Pack 1 or later is required.

THe solution is simple. IGNORE the error - it really is more a warning. And then once you installed SQL Server 2012, immediately patch it.
