I need to install Sql Server Express 2008 on my PC which has Windows XP SP2 (32 bit). But while installing Sql Server, the Windows PowerShell installation fails. This ceases the Sql Server installation.
What shall I do now? I found that there's no PowerShell for XP SP2 available , so i need to upgrade to XP SP 3.
Is there any way to install Sql Server 2008 without upgrading to SP3?
If you have Windows XP, you can't download SQL Server 2012 [Express], so to fix, you must install Windows PowerShell. Then install SQL Server 2008 R2 [Express] again.

Here is a discussion on a MS forum about this very issue. There is a post from Mike Wachal about half way down that may very well solve this issue for you.

I have an old machine with Windows XP OS. It has VS 2008 / SQL Server 2008 R2 installed on that. We have a SSIS package that we are using on the machine.
Now we want to migrate that application to a newer machine. I don't want to change the VS / SQL Server versions.
What is the best machine to migrate this combination to ?
Can I use Windows 10 or should I stick with Windows 8.1 or Windows 7?
Any ideas?
Do you mean you want to migrate all SSIS packges from Sql server 2008 to higher version?
If so you don't need to do anything cause the SSIS packages in sql server is backward compatible
If you want to migrate from VS2008 to VS2012 or higher, you could simply open all package from newer version of VS, VS could automatically upgrade the package for you. NOTE some of the tasks may not be upgraded successfully based on the tasks themselves
AND DO BACK UP ALL YOU PACKAGES BEFORE OPENNING IN HIGHER VERSION OF VS!!!
once they have been opened in higher version of VS, most time they could not been opened from lower version of VS anymore, be VERY CAREFUL
And that has nothing to do with the OS, you could either use windows 7,8.1 or 10, and remember VS only has 32 bit version.
I had sql server installed in my laptop. I planned to download an update of sqlr2 since I wa not able to attach my previous database in sql server 2008 since it is a 661 version. The update didn't finish as expected hence I decided to uninstall sql server 2008 by deleting it in the control panel.
Now when I tried re-installing sql server 2008 back, I am getting following error prompt

When I click on continue option, it again comes back to the same promot
Can anyone help me how to fix this error so i can install sql server 2008 again in my laptop?
I think the problem is about .Net framework 4 . your windows is x86 or x64?
try to install it without using sql server 2008 install package base on your OS system type.
I have SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with advanced services installed on my computer. I tried creating an SSIS package today and found out that the express edition does not support it.
Can I install Standard/Enterprise and have Express and Standard/Enterprise live happily on my development machine or do I need to uninstall Express?
Thanks
Yes.
You can either install a new instance so you have both a Express and Standard instance on the machine; or you can upgrade your Express instance to Standard/Enterprise. If the option to upgrade the SKU is not visible in setup then run setup.exe with SKUUPGRADE=1 on the command line.
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 also had this same issue. Upgrade your Service Pack to 2 and it will work. Mine worked after that.
