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 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.
I installed Microsoft SQL Server 2008, but there is no SQL Server Management Studio icon.
All the tutorials I found on installing SQL Server 2008 say that in order to start it, I need to go Start -> All programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2008 -> SQL Server Management Studio, but the icons in the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 are
Import and Export Data (32-bit)
folder Configuration Tools in which are three icons:
SQL Server Configuration Manager
SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting
SQL Server Installation Center
I have Windows 7.
I am not sure if Management Studio is installed by default, but I know there is an option to select it during setup. You may have just missed it. You may be able to go back into setup and tell the installer to install Management Studio.
Run the installer again and make sure you check the Management Tools as well.
BTW: what version have you installed? Express or Standard? Express comes in different downloads
If you have installed the Express version, there are two downloads. Express and Express with Tools. Check out this link for more information (it's R2, but 2008 was the same say): http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/editions/express.aspx
If you do not have Express or you do have the Express With Tools version, then when you install SQL Server (run the install package) you'll have a bunch of check boxes for what components to install. One of those is management tools. You'll need that selected to have SQL Server Management Studio installed with the instance (or a stand alone install).
I am trying to add Reporting Services to my already installed version of SQL Server Express 2008 R2. I am installing it on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard edition box.
When ever I run the install program to add extra features Reporting services is not listed.
I have installed (I think) all the prerequisites needed IIS, ASP etc but to no avail. Reporting services are just not visible in my features list.
Any ideas?
SSRS is only available in the SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services Download, not the standard one
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.
I'm doing data migration between two SQL Server 2008 database using SSIS because I need to do some data transformation. I guess I need to use Business Intelligence Developement Studio which I have on my develop machine. But because I don't have SQL Server Standard Edition on my develop machine. The BIDS do not allow me to build the SSIS package. Is there any work around? Thanks a lot in advance!
When you installed BIDS, did you also install the client tools for SQL Server?
Alternatively, you could remote to the dev server and devlop the package directly on the server.
You would normally install SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition on your development box.
SQL Server 2008 Developer enables
developers to build and test
applications that run on SQL Server on
32-bit, ia64, and x64 platforms. SQL
Server 2008 Developer includes all of
the functionality of Enterprise
Edition, but is licensed only for
development, test, and demo use.
