Installing 2K8 R2 Development Not going through

  • :w00t: :hehe:

    Trying to install SQL 2K8 R2 Development in my laptop, but wizard doesn't go further that the rules due to a SQL 2005 Tools installed.

    I uninstall all I had before starting and this is referring to SQL Server 2005 Express, which I do not use for anything anywhere (pain in the butt, yes is free but it doesn't have what I need to do... FREE? a headache more or less)

    Back to the issue, I run the installation wizard and got to the Installation Rules screen and it does not allow me to go further due to SQL 2005 Express Tools I don't have. Any suggestions? Greatly appreciated.

    Other thing I noticed is at the very beginning when it does the configuration checks to see if the framework version is the right one. I have 4.0, but it didn't allow me to continue until I installed 3.5 SP1??? What??? A bug on install??

    Thanks again, in advance, for all your input in this matter !!!!!! :hehe: :w00t:

  • Just run the report to check any SQL realted products (see below) and got none, lost here. Suggestions? I reboot my laptop to make sure the uninstall went properly. I use Red-Gate ToolBelt, is that what the wizard is identifying as 2005 Express tools? If so, what a pain. Thank you

    During the uninstall the registry kept a refrence to 90. I deleted teh key(after I bakced up the registry, of course!!! LOL)

    After that was done, all went well again. Thank you anyway if you read this, here is the reference in case you guys need it. Thank you
