Installing SQL Server 2008 on Windows 7 Error - SSMS Failed

Postby ShiftPoint » Sun Jul 05, 2009 8:37 pm

I was able to install the SQL Server 2008 with advance services with one exception. It didn't install the management tools. This part errored out. When i tried to re-install them it kept telling me they were already installed. So After some trial and error I found that that when you run the sql server 2008 installer (SQL Server 2008 Express - Advance edition_x86_ENU) this file has to be in the "C:\" directory. :x



By default it is downloaded into your users "Download" folder in windows 7. Move the file over to c:\ and run the installer from there. You will probably have to un-install the copy of sql server 2008 you already have installed. So uninstall then move the installer to the C:\ drive and run again. It installed everything with no errors for me. :P
