HiI am currently on my work PC and have upgraded my OS to W7 from Vista, previously on Vista I had MSSQLServer 2008 installed, not sure which version as it was a package I got from our shared network and I cannot see the version now as it won't work. I do not know exactly what has happened:Can't see MSSQLServer in programs and features ( the new 'add/remove programs' of W7) listSQL Server Still listed in Programs under start menu - when run it gives this error:quote:
MMC cannot open the file C:\windows\system32\sqlservermanager10.mscThis may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. this may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to this file.
And this file is not present in the listed directory.I tried downloading rerunning setup.exe in my package but got the 2nd screeshot as shown in this link:http://sqlblog.com/blogs/aaron_bertrand/archive/2009/08/14/is-sql-server-2008-supported-on-windows-7-windows-server-2008-r2.aspxI have tried to install the SP1 R1 and got the 3rd screenshot in the link above, so i tried rebooting (as per instruction in link) > rerunning the SP1 and it ran the rule checker, then listed the features to upgrade list showing an instances window, there are no instances in the list and when I clicked next I got error there are no SQL server instance or shared features that can be upgraded on this computer.So then tried downloading and running SP1 R2 - same thing - no instances. Any ideas this is driving me nuts now?G |
