I am trying to install SQL Server 2014 Express With Tools on a fully updated Win 8.1 system having already installed Visual Studio Community 2013 with Update 4. During the installation of SQL Server, I am getting a "MOF Syntax Error".
I found this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2387686 on the web but I can't see that that applies to me as I would have thought that any suggested fixes from this article would have been already installed or corrected in Win 8.1 or SQL Server 2014. Neither do I know what fix I should install anyway.
An entry on this forum suggested that running Winmgmt /salvagerepository command fixed the problem. I ran the command in the Command Prompt and a /verifyrepository said it was consistent. However, the error still occurred when I installed SQL Server.
Can anyone help with this?
