SQL Server 2008 on windows 8

Hi Experts,
I want to install SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition 32 bit on Windows 8 64 bit, I am not able to install the SQL, i tried to do in command prompt by using the below syntax but throws and error.
The arguement
'/Q/ACTION=INSTALL/FEATURES=SQL,AS,RS,IS,TOOLS/INSTALLSHARDWOWDIR/PID=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX is formatted incorrectly, The delimiter'=' is missing.
error code 0x84B40006.
Please suggest on the above issue.
Thank you all in advance.

Next, why the 32-bit version?
But most important: You cannot install Enterprise Edition on a desktop operating system. If you look at

Erland,
This is not correct you can install enterprise edition on Client operating system but is is not supported by Microsoft.From 2008 onwards ( IIRW) Microsoft started users to allow install unsupported versions of SQL server.

Navigation Issue on HC 91, Tools 8.51, SQL Server 2008 on Windows 2008

Hi Guys,
I installed HCM 91 -Tools 851-SQL Server 2008 on Windows 2008 server. App server running perfectly, initiated web server fine.
When I login in n-tier/web via PS userid, navigation to Panels are fine but when I try to click on any page, it gives error IE exception at the bottom – “Error on the page”, page does nothing, no searches and does not display the page.
I tried installation from ground zero the 3rd time last night, followed all the steps and stuck at this point.
I am wondering if anyone has encountered these issues.
I appreciate any pointers.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Compatability: CR 2008, VS 2005 and SQL Server 2008 on WINDOWS 7

Crystal Reports 2008, Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2008 all play nice together on a VISTA or XP box. But we cannot get a connection when we switch the OS to WIN 7. I tried to get a connection via the report designer. Is this combination of technologies currently supported?
Thanks.

Hi, Jeff;
See the [Platforms|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/00225757-ab5c-2c10-c1a8-fb9f9f0f4ac2] document for CR 2008. You need Service Pack 2 to run on Windows 7.
If you already have SP 2, then what happens when you try to make a connection?

Hello,
The first “Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation” is related to permissions to the registry keys. Please provide full permissions
on the following registry key:
SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
Please note that SQL Server 2008 requires Service Pack 3 (SP3) to make it compatible with Windows 8.1. Please perform
an slipstream installation of SQL Server 2008 + SP3:

Sql server 2008 and Windows 8

Hi
I published my WPF application using VS 2010 Express edition and trying to install it on Windows 8. The application runs but when it comes to searching the database that was included in the installation package it gives the error
"This program has compatibility issues Microsoft SQL Server(2008 and 2008 R2)"
The installer when setup was run did download SQL Server so I am not sure why I am getting this error. Any advice?

Hello,
Service Pack 3 for SQL Server 2008 is required to make it compatible for Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. For more information,
please read the following Support article:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562?wa=wsignin1.0
You can download SP3 from the following URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27594
If you are installing SQL Server 2008, continue setup despite of the warning and apply SP3 after installing SQL Server 2008.
Hope this helps.

Windows Installer - SQL Server 2008 Express Errors

I am working with an application that was developed for an XP machine. One of my peers took the old Windows application and using Visual Studio 2010 upgraded the application to work on a Windows 7 machine. We are creating the installer (.exe
and .msi) files within Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, but we are having different issues on different machines that we try to run the setup.exe file on.
On our company computers with Windows 7, the setup.exe file runs and works properly.
On our customers computer with Windows 7, received the following error: "an error occurred attempting to install SQL Server 2008 Express Service Pack 1."
On non-company/non-customer machines, we tried two Windows 7 machines. One machine had no issues and everything installed perfectly and the other received this error: "Component SQL Server 2008 Express has failed to install."
User pressed Yes to reboot the computer.
After the reboot, the setup.exe file was run and there were no more errors. The application was installed properly.
Within the Installer we have four boxes checked under Properties - Prerequisites:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (x86 and x64)
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile (x86 and x64)
SQL Server 2008 Express
Windows Installer 3.1
If anyone can help with why the installer is causing issues on some computers and not on others as well as why the issues by computer are different that would be very helpful!
Thank you!

Hi,
Please refer to this article for troubleshooting installation of
SQL Server Express:

Help! Licence for SQL Server 2008 VM on Windows 2012

I am confused by latest Microsoft Virtual server licence for SQL Server 2008.
We have a Hyper-V host running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. Displayed in its Task Manager, it has 16 cores and 32 logical processors (with hyper-threading turned on). A SQL Server VM is running on this host with 10 Virtual processors (showing from Hper-V
Manager). The SQL Server edition is SQL Server 2008 Standard.
We are using "Per Core Licensing Model". Now, the question is how many licences we need to purchase for the above SQL Server?
There are "SQL Server 2008 Licensing Guide", "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Virtualization Licensing Guide" and "Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Licensing Guide". But none of them covers this scenario, which is running SQL Server 2008 on
Windows 2012 Hyper-V host Server.
Could you please provide me your opinion: Should I license 10 cores for the SQL Server VM or license 5 cores (because the hyper-threading on physical server) ? Thank you very much in advance!

Moving from SQL server 2005 to SQL server 2008 ... for a MS/SQL newbie.

Hello,
I am in charge of moving an existing SAP NW BI (SPS20) from a MS SQL Server 2005 database on Windows Server 2003 (x864/64 bit) Platform to a MS SQL Server 2008 database/Windows Server 2008 Platform (x64/64 bit).
The SID of the SAP system will remain the same.
The thing is that I have always worrked so far on Oracle/Unix environements, windows/MSSQL is an entire new world for me,
so I am quite worried.
I have read many sap notes/installation guides/forum posts regarding this operation, I will describe here my understanding
of the techinical operations that I will need to perfrom.
Could you correct me if I am wrong, as well as give me your comments ?
1/ I will need to perform an SQL server database copy within a homogeneous system copy.
2/First ,I'll have to install on the target environnement the SQL server 2008 database. I'll have to install the SQL Server Database Software with SQL4SAP (no need to install the database server software manually, right ?). Afterwards, I'll install on the target environnent, SAP Netweaver 7.0 SR3 with a modified Instalaltion Master DVD.
3/ On the source environement, I'll perfrom a database backup of the SQL Server 2005 system and restore the database on the target environement. since I choose to perfrom a restore of the database , there is no need to follow all the steps described in sap note 151603 :determine the file structure of the source database, create the directory structure for the target database, etc ...
4/ Once the restoration is finished, I use SAPINST and finish the homogeneous copy : >additional sofware->system copy>target system->central system --> Based on AS Abap --central installation
Your comments are welcome.
Thank you for your attention
Best Regards.
Raoul

Hi Raoul,
you also need a modified Kernel DVD for the installation on SQL 2008 (see SAP Note 1152240).
And don't forget to install and patch the Visual Studio c++ Runtime (also described in that note).
I also would recommend to restore the backup and then install SAP NW 7.0 SR3 and use the restored SQL 2008 database.
So the basic steps are:
1. Perform backup and restore to SQL 2008
1.1 Install SQL 2008 with SQL4SAP
1.2 Backup old database
1.3. Restore backup on SQL 2008
2. Install VC runtime on Win 2008
3. Create modified Kernel DVD
4. Create modified Master DVD
5. Perform system copy target installaton with - additional sofware->system copy>target system--->central system --> Based on AS Abap --central installation and use the SQL 2008 database
You could also use SQL Server 2008 R2 which was release last month.
Please also check Note 1476928

MS SQL server 2008 - Bulk copy from XML to DB table throws bcp_init error

I have MS SQL server 2008 installed ,
Windows version - Windows 7 Professional with SP1
Doing a bulk copy process using the SQL library function bcp_init function in c++ throws xml error and its not inserting the data into the tables.
Error received ,
XML Datatransfer error: XML data or another error occurred while reading file 'd:\temp\scripts\dbtoolscripts\table_data.xml':
But this works in others machines with the same windows version and SQL version.

We are using the same SQL lib function bcp_init , we have written a separate class to load the ODBC32.dll , sqlncli.dll and use the bcp_init and other SQL functions from that. As i mentioned earlier we all use the same application build , but
its not working in my machine only other machines its working.
There is no provision to load XML files when you use the BCP interface in sqlncli.dll. You can of course load XML files, but the BCP API does not know that it is XML, it only sees a number of bytes.
So that error message is not coming from the BCP API, but somewhere else. Maybe your own code in reaction to some error from the BCP API. But without any clue of that error message, we can't help you.
I think you will need to do some debugging or by some other means improve your diagnostics.

Hi dude!
Checking the dbsl_w<NN> as it is explained in point 3 of the 'Troubleshooting' section of [SAP note 738371|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/738371] would help a lot to know the reason of the failure.

My requirment is like below.
1) I would liek to insert data from the Oracle database to SQL Server.
For the above requirement we have created the ODBC, then configure the listener file, tns file, and created the db link. This part is working fine as I am able to select the data from the SQL Server.

My insert statement is like below.
insert into test@SQLTEST (name, fullname)
values ('Oracle', 'Oracle server data');
Test is the SQL server table name and sqltest is the db link name.
If I am select the data

Installation of SQL Server 2008 express edition

I have successfully downloaded MS SQL Server 2008 Express. At the end of down loading I got message "Installation Successful". I may have mis-read the writing - it could be down-loading successful. The files are there in all program folder.
I am not sure if I have done the installation. I do not see any exe file. I cannot use the server.
How can I get to use it? How can I get connected to the Server?
S.ZAMAN

Hello,
Verify you have installed SQL Server Express successfully using the following report:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/petersad/archive/2009/11/13/sql-server-2008-discovery-report.aspx
If you did not install it then use the following post:
http://www.sqlservergenius.com/sql-server-2008-express-windows-server-2003-2008-howto/
Once you finish the installation, you need to enable TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocols to be able to get connected to SQL Server. Use the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191294(v=sql.100).aspx
Now download SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) from the following link to be able to connect and manage the SQL Server Express you have installed.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7593
Use “(local)\SQLEXPRESS” or computername\SQLEXPRESS as name of the server when connecting using
SSMSE.
Hope this helps.

Copy the media to the local disk drive, unzip it (in case you are installing from an ISO file, and run SQL Server setup from there.
Try to unregister and register the Windows Installer with the following two commands:
msiexec /unregister
msiexec /regserver
Try to use Process Monitor to log the detailed error produced when the installation of dw20sharedamd64.msi fails. You can download Process Monitor from the following link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
Share with us the error captured by Process Monitor.
Hope this helps.
