Applies to:

Report Services configuration wizard on Windows Server SP2.

Problem:

On Windows Server 2008 SP2, Report Services configuration wizard fails to install a new instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or Microsoft SQL Server 2014 with exit code 0x84BE0260, if there is Windows PowerShell 2.0+ or Windows Management Framework 2.0 is not installed.

Cause:

Windows 2008 SP2 does not bundle PowerSell 2.0 or Windows Management Framework 2.0 by default. Windows 2008 R2 and later are unaffected since they contain PowerShell 2.0+.

Resolution:

Install Windows Management Framework 2.0 first before running Report Services Configuration Wizard to install a new instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or 2014.
Windows Management Framework 2.0 can be downloaded at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/968930
