Fresh SQL Server Developer Install on Windows 2008

  • Hi Folks

    I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition on a new Windows 2008 server and after receiving the ISO image to use. I get an error right off the bat trying to run:

    Microsoft NET Framework 3.5 installation has failed

    SQL Server 2008 Setup requires .NET Framework 3.5 to be installed.

    I know from reading SQL Server 2008 install notes and watching videos, that the install program is suppose to install it as well as Windows installer.

    I assume that applies to developer edition also.

    Anyone know why I am getting an error already?

    Thanks

    Jim

  • I usaully install the .NET framework prior to trying to install SQL Server. I will tend to install it and then Windows Update to patch it to current.

  • Hi

    Still no luck

    when i try to install 3.5 manually all i get is

    "Setup Error"

    nothing else

    i look in event viewer and i see:

    Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5. Product Version: 3.5.21022. Product Language: 0. Installation success or error status: 0.

    Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 -- Installation completed successfully.

    typical Microsoft

    So i don't get it

    Thanks

    Jim
