New Install of SQL Server Developer

  • I have loaded all the files for SQL Server Developer, but cannot figure out what to run to install SQL Server 2005 on a new Windows 2003 server. I ran the logical program, you would think, setup.exe, but all that did was install MS Office 2003 web Components. Now what do I do or run ? Any assistance would be really appreciated

  • If you want to install SSRS then IIS6 must be installed and you click on details during installation to enable all Asp.net related features. You also need to make sure you copy all the files to your drive because SSRS must be installed in C drive. Try the setup in the server folder or try the auto run instead.

  • Hi Gift Peddie

    okay.. I am new at this so i do not know all the acronyms

    i have the install directories on another server and have connected to it to do the install

    i looked for IIS to install it under add/remove programs but i do not see it

    Thanks

  • If you've got all the files from the DVD there should be two folders. 'Servers' and 'Tools'. Inside the Servers folder there should be a 'setup.exe'. Run that.

  • IIS is a Windows component so go to add remove program and click on Windows component, you need your Windows install CD. And your SQL Server files need to be copied to your local C drive.

  • Hi Gift Peddie

    Thanks

  • Hi Gail

    I should be so lucky to have that. I was handed a CD that says (in hand-writing) SQL Server 2005 Developer

    It has a "setup" folder with a whole bunch of zip files, so I do not even know if what i was given is correct

    Thanks

    Something is not right because I have downloaded from employer's network drive and I have the same two folders so if it is SQL Sever 2005 developer there are two folders Server and Tools.

  • Thanks Gail

    I guess I better ask the guy that gave me the CD and see what gives

  • Sorry.... need some help again 🙁

    i got a set of new files

    one is called

    SW_CD_SQL_Svr_Developer_Edtn_2005_W32_X64_IA64_English_1_x64_MLF_X11-57880.EXE

    and the other is called

    SW_CD_SQL_Svr_Developer_Edtn_2005_W32_X64_IA64_English_2_x64_MLF_X11-57881.EXE

    i ran the first setup and it looks like i got SQL server 2005 installed

    question is what the heck is the other set of files for

    has anyone come across these two sets before

    apparently they have been downloaded from Microsoft

    any light you can spare would get me out of the dark

    Thanks

    Jim

  • Hi Jim,

    I've had files like this from MS download site (software assurance or whatever)

    I think the 2nd file will be what is "Tools" on the install DVD, so it will have SQL server management studio etc

  • Thanks Grasshopper
