Current setup: Server 2012 in virtual environment:
- SharePoint 2013
- Stand alone version with SQL 2008 R2 Express
- All updates through windows update are installed
- All prerequisites installed without issue
- SharePoint 2013 and updates installed
- Everything has been run under a local admin account and all files were run as administrator.
I have searched high and low and can not find an answer. Many have referenced the Analytics_*** folder which has not been created yet on the server. Some say it is created in step 8 I am assuming my configuration does not get that far.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This error/failure has been occurring through two setups.
Some of the error messages...
