I'm trying to install SQL Server 2008 R2 (Developer Edition) - 64bit on Windows 8 Enterprise and an error message comes up stating the SQL Server is not compatible with this version of Windows. Has anyone had any success in getting it installed and working? I was able to get it installed and running just fine on the Windows 8 Release Preview.
Thanks a bunch

In the Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2012 page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx) under Development tools features listed bellow has note:"This feature is not available for 64-bit version of Standard edition."
Intellisense (Transact-SQL and MDX)
SQL query edit and design tools
Version control support
MDX edit, debug, and design tools
Does it means exactly what is written? Because of Enterprise Agreement my company has (as our sales department explained to me) we can't use Developers edition (for development purposes). Therefore we have to pay for either Standard or Enterprise edition. Although Standard edition covers all our needs, the lack of Version Control support and Intellisense is an issue because all our development servers are installed on 64 bit servers. We have to request license for new development SQL Server 2012.
Now, we are in situation where we need Version Controll (and Intellisense) with important price difference between Enterprise and Standard editions and I need clarification about this issue.
Hi All,
I installed a SQL server 2008 R2 on a 64 bit Stand alone system today morning
Now i am trying to apply SP1 on it. But it is not progressing further with the below. Please suggest me how to over cum this issue.
Note: Cluster services not installed on this server. Cluster service is not there in the services.msc as well.
Had SQL Server 2008 R2 on the machine .... cannot remember the details .... (tried to uninstall 2008 or left it alone) and then installed 2012 Enterprise
Could not get rid of 2008 Native Client .... Uninstalled 2012, just to be able to clean up 2008 components; but could not get rid of the 2008
Gave up, and installed 2012 w/Sp1 this time..... the problem is still there ... the evil sqlncli10.dll
So, my xp_commandshell or BCP calls sqlncli10.dll (2008) instead of sqlncli11.dll (2012)
Can anybody help about not hearing about 2008 anymore and how to get rid of all components. I searched registry adjustments, etc. ... but just did not work.
xp_cmdshell wants to go to SQLNCLI10.DLL
Dear,
I upgrade SQL server 2008 to SQL server 2012 standard.
After i dit this i did a edition upgrade from standard to BI edition.
The SQL server indeed shows me that it is the BI edition but when i ask analysis server to show me the version he shows the standard64 instad of BI?
So lot's of features with cubes can not be made because that only works with BI edition or enterprise.
What can I do to let analysis server knows he is BI edition?
Kind regards,

I setup SQL Server 2012 on a Windows 2012 standard server.
I used an admin domain account for the install of SQL Server. SQL Server Service is running on
a domain account with no extra privileges. It installed fine.
Once I start up SQL Server I get error in the application event log. SQL will start.
What permissions are missing. If I start SQL Server service with a domain admin account I do not get this error?
I reviewed document 143504 on Configuring windows Service Accounts and Permissions, but it looks like it does not cover Windows 2012
sqlservr (4232) An attempt to open the file "C:\Windows\system32\LogFiles\Sum\Api.log" for read / write access failed with system error 5 (0x00000005): "Access is denied. ". The open file operation will fail with error -1032 (0xfffffbf8).

This is the error message I get. I am not a computer genius but can get by. This is a little out of my league so help would be appreciated.

I've been trying to uninstall SQL 2008 R2 Express but no luck.
I think I didn't remove the components in right order in Control Panel..
Now, I have left with a component calll "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup (English)" which I can't get rid of..
When I try to uninstall it, it gives me an error "Warning 26003. MS Server 2008 R2 Setup Support Files cannot be uninstalled because the following products are installed:
SQL Server 2008 R2 Common Files
SQL Server 2008 R2 Database Engine Shared"
If I click OK,
it says something like "Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package"sqlsupport.msi"
at this point, it wouldn't let me uninstall nor reinstall..
Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you!
I already have sql server 2005 running on my computer (Win XP SP2) and I have been trying to install the Sql server 2008 R2 version. (I've downloaded in last week.)
While I'm installing, I got the following msg box :
The following eror has occurred:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
Click 'Retry' to retry the failed action, or click 'Cancel' to cancel this action and continue setup.
At that time, Installation progress show "ASConfigAction_install_postmsi_Cpu32".
So I assumed something is wrong in SSAS installation.
I just click "Cancel" in the above msg box as I have no choice.
After completed, it show "Failed" in "Analysis Services".
Then I restarted my PC.
When I try to start SSAS service manually, I got the following msg box.
The SQL Server Analysis Services (Instance_Name) service failed to start due to the following error:
Error 1053 : The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
Actually I just want to try CUBE in this version. (my deadline is coming friday.) :(
Please advise & thanks in advance.
I have Visual Studio 2012 installed on Windows 8 Pro, from my Action Pack Subscription. As an Action Pack member I have access to only the SQL Server Enterprise version. As a developer, what is the best package for me to install to obtain developer capabilities for SQL Server and the SQL Server Management Studio.
1. SQL Server Enterprise from Action Pack, seems like an overkill?
2. SQL Server Express, what will be my limits?
3. SQL Server Data Tools, not sure what is all included in this.
Is there still a Developer License for SQL Server included in Visual Studio 2012, or was that in older versions. Sorry for my confusion, and thanks for any help.
(SQLEXPRESS 2012 + Windows Server 2008R2)
I created a filestream database:
CREATE DATABASE FileStreamTest ON PRIMARY (NAME = FileStream1, FILENAME = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\FileStreamDat1.mdf'), FILEGROUP FileStreamGroup1 CONTAINS FILESTREAM ( NAME= FileStream3, FILENAME = 'F:\FileStream1') LOG ON ( NAME = FileStreamLog1, FILENAME = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\FileStreamLog1.ldf') GO
Then I created a table (Documents) & I next created a full text catalog and index:
create fulltext catalog FileStreamFTCatalog AS DEFAULT Create fulltext index on dbo.Documents (Title, Text TYPE COLUMN TextType) Key INDEX PK_Document ON FileStreamFTCatalog WITH Change_Tracking AUTO
I added a file named "This is a text.docx" and "This is a text.pdf" The content of both files was "This is a test."
So now I search with query:
Select DcoumnetID, Title
FROM Documents
WHERE CONTAINS (Text, 'This')
I get nothing. I thought both files would showed up. What am I doing wrong?
THANKS!

Hi,
i Need to upgrade a client from SQL 2005 to SQL 2008 R2.
i Ran the upgrade advisor and get the following:
Ok, image does not want to upload now...Will try in a new post..
Looks lto me like thee only issue i must sort out is the "upgrade advisor determined that full-text search is currently installed"? Is this correct?
Then also what woul dbe the best way to upgrade? i Am tempted to insert the new SQL media and see if you can upgrade SQL? Or should i install SQL 2008 on a different instance and move the DB's? Sharepoint might have issues with this...
Thanks!
We are upgrading out office server, which is just used for testing and some internal data. It's our primary domain server running server 2003 for about 5 people. We also host SQL Server on it. My question is, can I just install server 2008 on a good 8 core desktop instead of getting an expensive server? What advantage is it running SQL Server on a real server vs a powerful desktop with a raid setup. Is it mostly reliability? We will backup and it's not a big deal if the server goes down since it's internal. (And I can't use a virtual desktop hosted somewhere else at this moment).

Hi all,
Am having no luck installing 2012 RC0. The error I am getting is consistent no matter what I have tried. The problem always occurs right after picking any option that requires the installer look inside my system to figure out what's there and what has to be done next e.g. Installation > New SQL Server Standalone.... Somewhere within that common inspection / configuration routine a character comes up that my system falls over on.
TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
------------------------------
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
'.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 817.
Error code 0x84B10001.
For help, click:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft%20SQL%20Server&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=50000&EvtType=0x066FCAFD%25400x5539C151
System Details
Other stuff I've done:
Same error every time.
Just to be sure it was a 2012 thing I tried running the SQL 2008 R2 installer and it ran past the point where I get the 2012 error without a hitch.
There is something in the 2012 installer that requires bits my system just does not have to handle that hex character as it should. All I can think of is that there is some form of hotfix / QFE that I have not applied and that is what is causing the hexadecimal value error I keep getting.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Nick
On several occasions monitoring solutions (such as System Center) have complained that the "SQL Browser Service" is not enabled on our sql servers. Generally we only install the default instance so I don't think the browser service is needed. What are these monitoring solutions complaining about?
TIA,
