| Hello,we got a 64bit windows 2008 web edition and after much errors/troubleshooting we finally installed MSSQL 2008 web editon on it.But we had to reinstall the OS and after that we cant seem to get sql2008 to install again1. We copied all the setup files to a folder called C:\sql2. we ran the following command at command prompt from this root directorysetup.exe /Action="Install" /INSTALLSHAREDDIR="c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server" /INSTALLSHAREDWOWDIR="D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server"NOTE: this is how we got it up and running the last time.NOTE ALSO: The folder "d:\program files\microsoft sql server" did not exist, so we created it. But "d:\program files (x86)\microsoft sql server" existed.Since it didnt work, i have spent the last 4 days switching the directory locations, from drives D and C and also interchanging bw D:\program files\ to D:\Program files (x86) and also in between C and D.But all to no avail.How can we fix this, as all our sites have been down over the weekend and today "TUESDAY" is almost gone by, so we have been down all weekend and all week.I called microsoft, but they just adviced we use the forums.ALSO NOTE: SQL2005 has no problems installing and other software, its just the 64bit sql2008 web editionEhi |
