Thank you for great article! It helped me a lot with error "ERROR: Failed to get Service Pack version for SQL Server   $$<Configuration Manager Setup><><thread=4144 (0x1030)>".

Holy crap you are my savior. After battling this for weeks I finally have SCCM installing.

WTF Microsoft. You tell me 2012 SP1 no CU is supported, yet it's not without trickery


I'm guessing it has to do with SCCM installer looking for those keys, and latest SQL 2012 SP1 creates MSWin8.SQLWID instead(Similar keys located within)

hi guys, ive done this but still get those errors ?

I was installing SCCM2012R2 and was having the same issue. This fixed it after many hours of banging my head. Thanks!
