Hi,
I am trying to install SQL Express with Advanced services on a Windows 7 computer.  The install progresses along until about 75% of the way when a message is displayed:
     Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 Setup
     The following error has occurred:
     The specified registry key does not exist
 I then have to click cancel.  The installation finishes with errors and the SQL engine does not start.  The installation is being attempted on a new Win 7 desktop that has Visual Studio 2010 installed.  Here is the summary log from the install.  Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Rob
