2008 R2 Slipstream install

  • My SQL Server 2008 R2 setup.exe is located here:

    E:\SQL_Server_2008\SQL_Svr_Standard_Edtn_2008_R2

    My Service Pack 2 media is located here:

    E:\SQL_Server_2008\SQL_SP2

    My CU 3 media is located here:

    E:\SQL_Server_2008\SQL_CU3

    From a DOS prompt, I change directory to

    E:\SQL_Server_2008\SQL_Svr_Standard_Edtn_2008_R2

    Then I run setup like this:

    setup \PCUSouce=E:\SQL_Server_2008\SQL_SP2 \CUSource=E:\SQL_Server_2008\SQL_CU3

    The install completes much my SQL Server verision is 10.50.1660 (RTM) which means SP2 and CU3 did not get applied.

    What am I doing wrong????

    Did you extract the SP and CU update files or are they in the std EXE form?

    The std EXE file is in the same folder as the extracted files - so the answer is both.

    The std EXE file is in the same folder as the extracted files - so the answer is both.

    Once the files are extracted you have to run the sqlsupport.msi in the SP extracted folder. Then you run setup supplying the PCUSource and CUSource switches. It's all in my guide, you may want to read it 😉
