RE: SQL & VStudio 2008

That's why I said just screw it and took MySQL in it's place.  And I'll tell
you, my computer's too valuable, and I just can't wipe my hard drive simply
because some remnants are left behind.  That seems perposterous!  There's
got to be some way of removing those remnants.  Is there not?

Hi: Ya, that puppy can be a real bugger to get downloaded and installed the
first time if you try and use the MS Installation Center page. There are a
ton of options, and dynamic stuff you need to wade through fairly carefully
to download and install it. It is a very complex piece of software, a
professional DataBase server and a Management Tool to manage the Databases
Online or OffLine. As for the left over remnants of a prior SQL Server
Install that can be a problem indeed. It means that you likely will not be
able to download a clean version of SQL Server using the default instance
name which is not a major problem if you know about such things. There is a
chance you can remove the left overs but since SQL Server ties into so many
places and even an Office module or 2, it can be tricky to do. You have to
uninstall that puppy's modules  in the correct order or you can get a left
over instance. Also, when you try and remove it using the Control Panel Add
Remove Programms you have to select the Instance Name and Support Modules,
checking them, that you want removed or you might get an incomplete
UnInstall. I know of 2 folks who had to wipe their hard drives to completely
remove failed uninstalls and a few who were able to remove the remnants with
some tweaking. You should not try and delete any files or folders manually
or you might put things out of sync if you plan a system restore, the
registry might not match the files after you mess with either. Well, I wish
I could tell you better news but I would try just doing a system restore to
the point prior to installing sql server to remove that instance -
hopefully, and then ReInstall it carefully after really knowing what you are
doing so you do not have any problems to try and resolve. That piece of
software is  really touchy to install correctly for a novice, blind
programmer.

I have also had issue after issue with SQL server.  In fact, my desktop
still thinks that the express version is still there.  It may be a hard run
for you.

Hello,

 

Apologies for cross posting. Please can anyone give me advice on setting up
a development environment on a windows 7 professional 64bit machine. I'm
using JAWS 11 & my questions are:

 

- will the SQL 2008 enterprise edition work on Windows 7 64bit?

- If I install SQL Business Intelligence Development Studio, do I still need
to install Visual studio 2008?

- If so, what version of VStudio do I need to install i.e. VStudio 2008 with
SP1 or VStudio for X64?

- Are there any known issues with SQL on windows 7 professional 64bit ?

 

I want to get this right this time because I had a lot of problems trying to
install SQL & VStudio 2008 on my system when I was using Vista. The Solution
Management Studio refused to run. Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

LU
