When installing a new instance on an existing SQL 2014 CTP2 you might get this error: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\License Terms\SQLServer2014CTP_License_EVAL_1033.rtf' is denied. like the one below If you hit Retry it will popup again and if you hit Cancel your whole installation is cancelled. After clicking Cancel: The workaround is simple. Find SQLServer2014CTP_License_EVAL_1033.rtf in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\License Terms\ . On the properties window remove the Read-Only attribute and press OK Now you can hit “Retry” on the Setup process warning message box. Now you won’t have an excuse to further explore SQL Server 2014 capabilities ! Happy 2014’ing
