This evening, a friend of mine was working overtime. About SQL Server 2005 change the installation path directory, told a friend, conveniently and on the Internet to find several other methods, the first method is the default, is a small series to tell friends.
Method 1.
During the installation process, install to select the components that you want to install, and then click Advanced. You'll see where to change the installation path.
Method 2. Change the default installation path for the registry:
The installation completes needs to station 500M about space
You can change the path installation, and here's how to change it:
Open the registry to find: "Heky_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion" in the right window to find the "ProgramFilesDir" string, double-click the value by "C:\ ProgramFiles "Modify to" D:\ProgramFiles "OK after you exit the registration form
Method 3.
First: Do not modify the path, use the default installation, and finally confirm the installation will show the path of the Configurationfile.ini file, to this path to copy the installation configuration files to other paths, such as D:\, and then exit the installation
Second: Use Notepad to open this file, according to the actual need to replace the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server" lookup with "D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server" after saving
Finally: at the command line go to the installation directory, start the installation, if it is Vista, remember to run the command line with administrator privileges, enter the following instructions:
Setup.exe/action=install/configurationfile=d:\configurationfile.ini
Of course, we can also use the Advanced installation mode to choose to use the configuration file for installation, this is a graphical-
Method 4.
Do not use the Autorun installation after inserting the disc, use the command line to install the!CD into the root directory of the installation CD, enter the command:
Setup.exe/installshareddir= "D:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL server\\"/installsharedwowdir= "D:\\Program Files (x86) \\Microsoft SQL server\\ "
installation, where Installshareddir is the path to the x64 part installation, Installsharedwowdir to the x32 part installation path.
You can also change this:
To modify the registry by Xp_instance_regwrite
The database default path is saved in the registration table, we can modify the registry by Xp_instance_regwrite, we can try the following methods:
--1. Change data file implicitly store the path:
EXEC Xp_instance_regwrite
@rootkey = ' HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ',
@key = ' Software\microsoft\mssqlserver\mssqlserver ',
@value_name = ' Defaultdata ',
@type =REG_SZ,
@value = ' D:\MSSQL\Data '
--2. Change log file implicitly store the path:
EXEC Master.. Xp_instance_regwrite
@rootkey = ' HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ',
@key = ' Software\microsoft\mssqlserver\mssqlserver ',
@value_name = ' Defaultlog ',
@type =REG_SZ,
@value = ' D:\MSSQL\Data '
