Installing SQL Server 2005 under WINDOWS8 cannot start the service

Because the early adopters installed the WINDOWS8, it is really good, the only regret is that SQL Server 2005 installation is not supported. Find a lot of ways, basically have flaws. Now finally find a completely normal no defects, and share with you.

0, be sure to use Administrator user installation, otherwise there may be any unexpected problems (I wasted half the time).

1. Install any version of SQL Server 2005 normally.

2, install to SQL Server service prompt start service failure, here is the key, download the two attachments of this article, which is SP4 (2005.90.5000.0) version of Sqlservr.exe and Sqlos.dll. 32-bit download sqlservr32.rar,64-bit download Sqlservr64.rar.

Sqlservr32.rar http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=133132&uk=1712931135

3, < database path >\binn, first back up the next sqlservr.exe, and then extract the corresponding sqlservr.exe and Sqlos.dll to the inside to overwrite the original file, for example, "F:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn ".

4, click "Retry", installation continues, installation program successfully installed.

5, after the installation is complete, stop the SQL Server service, restore the backup sqlservr.exe file back (otherwise SP4 installer thought you have applied SP4), and then immediately hit the SP4. (Do not run any SQL software before this)

6. After installing SP4 patch, SQL Server is running normally and the tutorial is complete.
