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.

Subject: SQL & VStudio 2008
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
