Hi,

Thanks for your replay.

Actually i am unable to install .Net 3.5,I tried to Run the exe but it is not getting open i tried with Run as administrator.

The below are the exe's i tried to install for SQL 2K8

SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU

SQLServer2008SP3-KB2546951-x86-ENU

All the exe's are downloaded from Mirosoft websites only.

Thanks

Have you tried downloading the.net 3.5 stand alone installed not the Sql install

You can install sql server 2008 r2 express edition in windows7. There is no need to install dot net 3.5 SP1 for windows 7 as by default the OS supports the application utilizing dot net.

Just download these exe 's and install it.

SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe

SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU_2008.exe

SQLServer2005_BC.msi
