SQL Server 2008 Installation Problem

    Guys,

    I couldn't intall SQL Server 2008 R2 with advanced service on my computer that is running Windows XP Home Edition. It says the Windows PowerShell needs to be installed.

    So I downloaded the Powershell for SQL Server 2008, then the file can not be opened because my computer doesn't recognize the file and doesn't know how to open.

    Do I need the Windows Powershell for XP or for SQL Server 2008?

    Thanks

    You need powershell for XP. Also which edition of SQL Server are you trying to install on Windows XP?

    I downloaded SQL Server 2008 R2 Development Edition with Advanced Services.

    Now the installation can't complete because no Windows Powershell installed on my computer.

    Thanks for the link.

    But now I am at Server Configuration and I got invalid creditial error messages.

    I googled it and found the solution is logon as a domain admin, not a local admin.

    What logon are they talking about? Windows XP logon?

    And what service account and password to enter for my server configuration?

    You can use Local System Account as Logon Account to start SQL Services

    I entered my Windows XP login user name in server configuration during installation and I leave the pw part blank since I don't need to enter one for my Windows XP login.

    It still doesn't work. Is a pw required for this part?

    Also how can I go back to server configuration after I quit SQL Server 2008 installation?

    I had to uninstall SQL Server 2008 R2 and then install it again before I can enter the server configuration part. There must be a way to go around this.

    I went into SQL Server 2008 Installation Center and I didn't find a way to go back to server configuration part.
