Got it to finally work! The things I did differently was I installed the SQLEXPR (non_86x version) before running the command prompt code to install SQLEXPR_86x_ENU then I went to the directory for. Have tried with multiple VIDA 2014D disc images. It says this no matter if I use your command prompt code to install or if I install manually. Is VIDA sensitive to a cracked windows 7 or something? Also when I create a SQL Server features report it just shows Porduct: none Instance: non Instance ID: none Feature: none Language: none Edition: none Version: none Clustered: none. I've followed the guide closely on a fresh install of windows 7 Pro 64bit and always end up with VIDA NOT OKAY.
