Dalong The tragic experience of installing sqlserver2008r2 under Win7

First download the SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise/Development Version/Standard Edition (download in Chinese and English with serial number)

Then an error occurred while installing: There is an earlier version of VS2008, please upgrade.

So upgrade, download

Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 (ISO)

Then there was an error while installing: The original version was incomplete, or the patch was installed, please download the visual Studio 2008 Service Pack Preparation Tool

So download chant. You are also prompted for the missing xxx file during installation.

I'll go to your big uncle, Microsoft.

After multiple inspection, direct reload vs2008 can install SP1.

So I reload. The reload must first completely uninstall the VS2008. In the control surface version, right click vs2008 Uninstall, error after running: missing xxx file. Broke down there's wood there in the MSDN Forum, a foreigner provided a download tool Uninstalltool, holding the dead horse when living horse doctor mentality, download and run. The middle prompted a mistake, the feeling seems to have failed again, no language.

But life is always in a casual twist. Although the process was wrong, I still see the final hint that the uninstall was successful. So I opened the Start menu, the VS2008 option is still there, left-click, prompted the "program does not exist"! Is it true that the uninstall was successful? I once again hold the dead horse when the mentality of horse medicine, point opened the vs2008 of the setup. Procedures such as flowing water flow of the operation, my heart also seems to be washed by the water, nervous chord gradually eased down. VS2008 installation was successful. Then VS2008 SP1 was installed successfully. This feeling is really wonderful.

It's only the last step. The process of SQLSERVER2008R2 installation is also as smooth as flowing water. While I take advantage of her leisurely installation of the Gap leisurely watch "I am a Singer", an error of voice turned out. The Msmdctr.ini file does not exist. In Microsoft's supporting documentation, it was found that the default instance name was selected for installation, resulting in duplicate instances of SQLSERVER2008R2 and sqlserver2005 on the computer. The two goods were pinched up. The melancholy point of the next step, until the end, prompts installation failed. Helpless ready to uninstall SQLSERVER2008R2, and then continue to repeat the story just now.

But life is always in the casual turn. I tried to open sqlserver2005, prompting the instance name to be invalid. And then I started to sqlserver2008r2. Installation failed. Can actually go in. Then run the website, no problem! Some of the database features are available! And the reason I installed sqlserver2008r2 was just to open a SQLSERVER2008R2 database. Aim to achieve!

At this moment, the window memory of that round of wine Red Sun, has become a lighted.
