Hi, I am having major issues installing the express edition of SQL Server 2012. The installation will get so far and then display the below message:
"Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB -- Error 1923. Service 'SQL Server VSS Writer' (SQLWriter) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services."

I have tried the following to rectify this:
1) remove anything relating to SQL Server Studio on my PC, then attempting a re-install again.....unfortunately, this didn't work

2)I have attempted to start the SQL Server VSS Service manually....however, when I do a message appears advising it couldn't be started as the process was terminated unexpectedly.

Would really appreciate any assistance on this

Have you tried running the installer as administrator?
