Hi,

I have this problem that I can't find a solution for. I'm trying to install sql server 2012 express on my machine running windows 8.1. I've tried all teh following:

I tried to download dotnet35 and install it, but int didn't work.

Hi and thanks for answer,

I did that now but then it says:
DISM doesn't regognize the command line option "Access"

Hi again,

I found out that the above error came from having a space between Limit and Access. When I remoded it the command started, but I still get the same error that the source file cannot be found even if the whole directory is copied there.
