SQL2008 Express with advanced services

Posted Tuesday Tuesday, September 09, 2008 by Ian Pettman

Microsoft have released SQL2008 Express with advanced service, I have done this install quite a few times now. So here are some recommendations:

1. Download and install the prerequisites first

These are:

Net framework version 3.5 SP1

Windows Installer 4.5

Power shell 1.0    (There is a beta for Power shell 2.0 - do not be mislead)

2. Download the install: do not run it. The odds are you will either want to uninstall it or reinstall it.

SQL 2008 Express with Advanced Services

This process may involve a number of reboots: I seem to average about 4.

Good luck!
