Installation Microsoft sql 2005 server standard edition

  • Hello all,

    i have a virtual pc environment, with a virtual harddrive (C:\) with 4 gigabyte, here the operating system is installed (who is windows server 2003)

    what i want is to install SQL server 2005 onto another location (completely) for example on the d drive...

    Does anyone has experience with this??

    or knows a command for this???

    Thx

    S.

  • If you use the GUI installer, you will be able to specify custom paths after the registration information page, on the page where the various components can be selected. Just click advanced ... and set the path.

    If you are installing using the command prompt, then you can create an ini file, and set in it:

    INSTALLSQLDIR="D:\SomeSQLServerFolder\"

    Then run the setup with : /settings filename.ini

    More info on the command line is on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx

    You cannot specify the location for all the SQL Server components, see the restrictions on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143547.aspx

    see here the Specifying File Paths part.

    Regards,
