i trying to install sql server 2008 using wix3.5
i tried the below link to install .Net framework 3.5 and 4.0 its working fine.
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/install_dotnet.htm
<BootstrapperFile Include="SQL Server 2008 Express">
<ProductName>SQL Server 2008</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
same way i trying for using the sql server 2008 installation using above code, but its not working, any idea where i done wrong.
For SQL Server 2008 Express you need to include Microsoft.Sql.Server.Express.10.0":
<BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Sql.Server.Express.10.0">
<ProductName>SQL Server 2008</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
Note: My example came from my installation using Visual Studio 2010 (Windows SDK 7.0a). The include is likely Microsoft.Sql.Server.Express.9.2 for VS 2008, but I have no way of verifying this right now.

Have an option to choose either a windows SE or Web Edition to install, for my Web based application built on Asp.Net 3.5 Framework.
Question: Have noticed in some blogs they mentioned that, we cannot install SQL Server 2008 on a WebEdition. Is that true?
Mainly - it is not true, you can install STandard, Developer, Express, Enterprise (and may be Datacenter) editions of SQL Server # Web edition of Windows Server 2008
You need something unusual?
I am assuming you mean SQL Server 2008 R2, if so it can be installed on a web edition but you need a special version of SQL Server 2008 R2.

I have been trying to compile an old project for my company, which uses Microsoft SQL Server 2005 as the database. Within the project, one part is to reference Microsoft.ReportingService.Interface. However, upon compilation, the compiler said it cannot be found.
My machine (a virtual one, anyway) is a Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) Standard version, with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (64-bit) installed (along with 64-bit SQL 2008 and 2008 R2). All 3 SQL Server versions got everything installed (SQL Server, SSRS, SSAS, SSIS, and all misc stuff). However, when I look at the GAC, only the one with SQL 2008 was there (version 10), and the one for SQL 2005 is not there. Order of installation is SQL 2005, 2008 and 2008 R2.
Does anyone know whether I will have to reinstall SQL 2005, or if there is any other way to make it work?
Thanks in advance!
I have figured this out by myself... by searching the installation folder, the DLL is in there, but it was not registered to the GAC. Simply installing the DLL to the GAC directly solves the problem.
I need to create a setup package that will not install SQL Server 2008 R2, a sample database, data and .Net 3.5 SP1 along with a setup installation.
I am using Visual Studio 2008. How do i do this?
Is it possible to install the full version, not express from setup package?
You can add other installers to setup packages; however it isn't normally customary to include one for SQL Server for the following reasons:
1, What if they have a different version installed (i.e. you are installing SQL Standard and they already have SQL Enterprise available)?
2, What if they have a SQL server installed on another server that they wish to use?
3, In a couple of years time Microsoft release the next version of SQL server and your software is still installing SQL Server 2008?
For the sample database and data just add the SQL in as a resource and get the app to run the script on first execution.
This question may look stupid and dumb but I needed to ask this. I installed SQL server 2008 but what I have finally installed is this (see the images).
Is SQL Server 2008 is installed? If not how can I install it?
Start Menu
Control Panel (Add/Remove)
SQL Server 2008 is installed but you might have to install Client tools for Sql Server 2008 to access the installed instance..
I've done a search and could not find similar questions.. I have to install SQL Server 2008 Standard on a new server where we need to deploy some .NET 4.0 applications.
My question is: do I need to install .NET 3.5 SP1, then SQL Server 2008 and at the end .NET 4.0? I mean, Is it mandatory to install .NET 3.5 SP1 because SQL Server 2008 cannot work directly with .NET 4.0?
THANKS
SQL Server 2008 R2 requires .NET 3.5 SP1. If you don't already have that installed, install it.
After that, I would move on to installing SQL Server 2008. If you're missing pre-requisites you should install them.
After you get everything straightened out there, I would install .NET 4.0 last (if it's not already on the server). Honestly, though, it shouldn't matter if you install SQL Server 2008 R2 or .NET 4.0. Both orders should work equally as well.
Even though you install .NET Framework 4, sql server installer still ask you to install .NET Framework 3.5. If you install sql server 2008 Standarc in windows server 2008 R2, .NET Framework 3.5 is already built in with windows. Just go to server manager, click Add Feature and enable it. After that, you can install SQL Server 2008.
