SQL Express 2012 with tools

  • I just downloaded the SQL Server Express 2012 with tools. It was a 686MB file called:

    SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe

    Does that contain all we need to install it on a 64-bit server (windows server 2008), (the server is not connected to the internet and if I don't get the whole installation at once, it is a big pain).

    So I'm wondering if everything I'll need is there (I'm cannot execute it past the "extracting files" step on my machine that IS connected to the internet, so I can't tell).

    Any help would be appreciated.

    It depends. What is "all we need"? What do you need?

  • The prereqs to installing (DOT NET, I think, before Sql Server).

    Then, there are a couple of pre-reqs for Management Studio.

    This has bitten us before on these "disconnected servers."

    Thanks,

  • I'd probably recommend you install .NET will all service packs and patches and Visual Studio will all service packs and patches.

    Although my edition was the 64-bit Business Intelligence version I'm almost sure that the pre-reqs for Visual Studio and .NET are the same.

    Not installing the Service Pack for VS2010 caught me out.

    Good luck!
