Can I Install SQL Server Developer Edition 2012 on Windows 8

I am just about to buy this:
http://www.amazon.com/SQL-Server-Developer-Edition-2012/dp/B007RFXQAM
I noticed that the 2 platforms listed are Windows 7 & Vista.  I'm pretty sure it will also run fine on Windows 8, based on what I read here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx
I'm wondering if anyone has actually installed SQL Server Developer Edition 2012 on Windows 8.
Thanks!!

  • Cannot install SQL Server Native Client 2012 on Windows Server 2008 Data Center

    Is it possible to install SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (SQL Server 2012) on Windows Server 2008 Datacenter?
    I tried to install it, but I get this error message:
    "Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system. For information on supported configurations, see the product documentation."
    Based on this article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280356.aspx), I see one of the supported operating system is Windows Server 2008.

    Hello,
    Can you try to download and install Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 from the following link, and then reinstall the SQL Server Native Client 11.0 again?
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=16468
    Microsoft SQL Server 2012  Native Client is included in the SQL Server 2012 Feature Pack. Based on the requirement of
    the download page , you should apply SP2 for Windows Server 2008.

  • Unable to install SQL Server 2014 Express LocalDb on Windows 8.1 Update 1

    Apologies if this is not the right place or this has been posted before (I looked and didn't find anything)
    I am unable to install SQL Server 2014 Express LocalDb on Windows 8.1 Update 1, as I get an 'Operating System not Supported' error message right away.
    What can I do to get this working?

    Hi Zgreve,
    Usually, from
    hardware and software requirements for installing SQL Server 2014, we can install SQL Server Express version on the Windows 8.1. For more information, see:
    Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express.
     Before you install SQL Server 2014 Express version, you should ensure installing the .NET Framework 4, then run as administrator for the SQL Server setup.exe again.
     There is a similar detail about install SQL Server Express LocalDB via GUI and command line. You can also review the following steps.
    http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2694/getting-started-with-sql-server-2012-express-localdb/
    If the same error about OS still exists,  I recommend you submitting a feedback to Microsoft such issues at
    https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback, Your feedback enables Microsoft to offer the best software and deliver superior services, meanwhile you can learn more about and contribute to the
    exciting projects on Microsoft Connect.

    I have Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate installed on my unit.
    I tried installing SQL Server 2012 and it failed because I don't have the SP1 for VS2010.
    I installed SP1 successfully, but now I can't install the SQL Server 2012.

    I have .Net frameworks 3.5 and 4.0 installed in my laptop, still, no progress.
    Please help me with this. Thanks a lot.

    Check below thread seems to be similar issue
    You need to enable .NET Framework 3.5 using Control Panel

  • Can't install sql server express

    HElp!!!
    I'm trying to install any recent free sql server.. to practice with vs2012 and asp.net mvc.. and the install keeps failing.  THis is my personal desktop running 64bit Windows 7.  sql server express "said" it was installing but sql
    server doesn't show up under Start/all programs and SWL server management studio isn't under administrative tools.  I tried sql server express but it said it wouldn't install on 64 bit -- something about WOW.  Several sql server things are listed
    in control panel and I'm trying to uninstall them to start over.   Please point me to place to get sql server express with hopefully instructions to install.  Buying a 32 bit computer is not an option at this time.
    Thanks in advance,

    problems: 1. no menu item for "new table" in sql server management studio (Right click on tables)
    2. Can't attach northwind db and won't create it using script.  missing stored procedure 'sp_dboption'
    Hi,
    Based on your description, firstly, we need to verify  if  there is no option of ‘New Table’ when right-clicking ‘Tables’ in the left panel of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), or you cannot create new table via the GUI in the right panel as follows.
    They might be caused by incomplete installation, I recommend you to check if you have installed the SQL Server 2012 completely.
    Secondly, are you trying to attach the NORTHWIND sample database with the sp_dboption in SSMS? If so, the sp_dboption has been deprecated in SQL Server 2012, it’s only supported in SQL Server 2008 or prior version, you can use
    ALTER DATABASE NORTHWIND SET RECOVERY SIMPLE to replace the following lines in the
    instnwnd.sql script, then execute it. I have done a test successfully in SQL Server 2012. 
    exec sp_dboption 'Northwind','trunc. log on chkpt.','true'
    exec sp_dboption 'Northwind','select into/bulkcopy','true'
    In addition, according to the message “visual studio 2013 does NOT recognize the server”, it seems that you encounter the connection issue between Visual Studio and SQL Server. If you get some error messages, you can post them for further analysis. Also, you
    need to verify that the connection string (contains server name, login, password and so on) is correct when connecting to the SQL Server from Visual Studio.
    Thanks

  • SQL Server Developer Edition Licensing

    SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition states that it can be used for end client acceptance testing. My question is this.
    Does every end client that will be doing testing need to have a license or cal to be able to use the database for testing, or do you only need to buy licenses for the developers that will be developing against it?

    Each license of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition entitles one developer to use the software on as many systems as necessary and additional developers can use the software by purchasing additional licenses
    Anyway for license related questions, it is better to ask Microsoft Licensing Team directly. You might want to look at these links:

  • SQL Server - Developer Edition - Downgrade to standard edition

    Hi,
    So the developer edition is a great way to setup a dev and test environment for pretty much nothing. But it is fully featured as an Enterprise Edition.
    Now, we are using Standard Edition on our production servers.
    Is it possible to install Developer Edition with only the standard edition features ?
    Or to buy the developer licences and install standard edition for the test environment ?
    The risk being that our devs use enterprise editions in the dev environment that would not work in production and thus add dev cycles.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Probably you can block the use of some enterprise features using Policy Based Management.
