Trying to install fulltext on my sql server 2008 box.
I went to 'programs and features', selected sql server 2008 and now I get this popup asking to choose either: add/ repair or remove.
I click on add, and it asks me for the location of sql server CD? I extracted the ISO we have, not sure which file to point it too?
Download the installer from:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=1842
Or for SQL 2008 R2 Express, it is here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25174
Then go to where you saved it and Unzip the self extracting EXE (right click and click "Extract").
Go to Add or Remove Programs and you can now "Add Features" by browsing to the extracted files.
For full details on how to upgrade and install fulltext search on an existing SQL Server 2008 Express instance see my post here
To add features to a SQL Server installation, you should run the installer itself from the install disc. As u07ch suggested, you can mount the image, or you can burn the disc. Once you do that, run through the installer and you'll see the option to add Full Text Search from the "features" page.
Download the microsoft Virtual CD Control Panel and mount the iso as a cd drive on your computer; then point the add/ remove install software at that.

I have installed the SQL Server Management Studio (v. 17.9.1) but I am not able to create an instance.
In fact no server appears in the box when I browse:
How can I proceed, step by step, to create a local instance?
You can create a local Database by using the command prompt. As open cmd with Admin privilege, > sqllocaldb create "database name" -s(start with it) . There is lot of option with sqllocaldb read there.
Go to windows services (services.msc) and check if SQL Server and SQL Server Browser are running. If not, start them and you should be able to login and create the DB.
type in sql server download in your browser and go to microsoft's website. You have downloaded SSMS but you do not have a server installed. Download SQL express or SQL developer edition and install. Once you have done this you will have a default instance (or named if you customized the install). I must have hit this posting 4 times trying to figure this out but now I'm off and running. If you want a test database to play with you can then download adventureworks (again just use your browser (sql adventureworks) and download the backup file. You can restore it by clicking on the databases folder once you have connected to your sql instance in SSMS.
After having installed SQL Server 2012 on my Windows 7 from this link:
[https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=29062][1]
(ENU\x86\SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU.exe)
I downloaded SQL server Management Studio from this link:[1]: https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=29062
(ENU\x86\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe)
And when i start the installation, after extracting the files, it is asked if i want to allow Sql Server to make changes to my computer, i press yes, and then the SQL Server Installation Center is launched...
I don't understand what to do next, is it a current problem ?
Thank you for your attention.

Using the second link you provided after you press download make sure you select this option:
If you have 32 bits, then simply scroll down you will find the 32 bits exe
I downloaded the file to see what you are seeing.
Choose: New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation.
This will start the setup and take you to where you can select the features. You need Management Tools - Basic.
I am using Visual Studio 2015 professional. When I tried to add Service-based Database to my project I got this error.
Connections to SQL Server database files (.mdf) require LocalDB or SQL Server Express to be installed and running on the local computer. You may need to modify the setup and ensure Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools is selected and install the current version at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=125883
I also have Microsoft SQL Sever 2014 installed on my computer.
really need help.
Just in case it helps others, I recently received this error in Visual Studio. The error states to go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=125883. When going to this URL, it now redirects to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/sql-server/. The new URL do not seems to have an obvious instructions on how to get Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools. Here is what worked for me.
In Visual Studio, select Tools > Extensions and Updates
In the Extensions and Updates pop-up box, select Installed > Updates
Highlight Microsoft SQL Server Update for database... and click the Update button. If Microsoft SQL Server Update for database... is not listed, you can download SSDTSetup.exe from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt186501.
Your default Web browser will prompt a download of SSDTSetup.exe
In your Downloads folder, run SSDTSetup
Follow the prompts of the installer
After doing this, just to play it safe, I restarted Visual Studio. This might not be necessary. I then did the following in Visual Studio.
In Visual Studio, if you do not already have a folder named App_Data, in the Solution Explorer panel, right-click the name of your site and select Add > New Folder. Name the new folder App_Data.
With the App_Data folder highlighted, press Ctrl + Shift + A (or right-click and select Add > New Item)
In the Add New Item pop-up box, select Visual Basic or C# > Data > SQL Server Database. Click Add.
The error should not appear, and in Solution Explorer should now be a file named database1.mdf.
Just do this. On Visual Studio, go to Tools > Options > Database Tools > Data Connections. Here clear the "SQL Server Instance Name (blank for default)" option and write SQLEXPRESS
The error message is quite clear. You need to have either LocalDB or SQL Server Express installed and running on the local computer, and you apparently don't.
Do as the error message instructs, go to the link provided in that error message, select Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools, and install the latest version.
I installed sql server 2008 R2 successfully, then realised I need to get Full Text Search. So I downloaded the "Advanced Services Installation Package", but when I run it there is no option in the "Feature Selection" part for Full Text Search. Please don't tell me I hav to uninstall and reinstall?
Did you select the previous instance you installed so as to upgrade it?If no try to select the instance you previously installed.
Got it to give me the feature as an option by just installing another instance of the server (now running side by side my original) - What a Schlepp!!
I am installing SQL Server 2008. I have installed .NET framework 3.5.
Then I got folder SQL Server 2008 and performed following steps-
I clicked configuration Tools.
Then I clicked SQL Server Installation Center.
I clicked "Installation" hyperlink on left side.
Then I clicked "New SQL server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation"
Then I got a window "Browse for SQL server Installation Media"
Which folder should I choose? Or is there any other method to install SQL Server?
For the SQL Server 2017 (Developer Edition) installation, I did the following:
Open SQL Server Installation Center
Click on Installation
Click on New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation
Browse to C:\SQLServer2017Media\Developer_ENU and click OK
If you've downloaded SQL from the Microsoft site, rename the file to a zip file and then you can extract the files inside to a folder, then choose that one when you "Browse for SQL server Installation Media"
SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe > SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.zip
7zip will open it (standard Windows zip doesn't work though)
Extract to something like C:\SQLInstallMedia
You will get folders like 1033_enu_lp, resources, x64 and a bunch of files.
If you are using an executable,
just run the executable (for example: "en_sql_server_2012_express_edition_with_advanced_services_x64.exe")
Navigate to the "options" tab
Copy the "Installation Media Root Directory" (should look something like the below snipping)
Paste it into the open "Browse for SQL server Installation Media" window
Save yourself the hastle of renaming and unzipping etc.!
For the SQL Server 2019 (Express Edition) installation, I did the following:
Open SQL Server Installation Center
Click on Installation
Click on New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to
an existing installation
Browse to C:\SQL2019\Express_ENU and click OK
While installing SQL Server, it extracts contents to temp folder under C directory. You can copy that folder after extraction finishes and then use that one for browsing
Check in Administration Tools\Services (or type services.msc in the console if you a service named SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS). If you do then it is installed.
From Visual Studio open Server Explorer (menu View\Server Explorer or CTRL + W, L). Right click Data Connections and choose Create New SQL Server Database. After that create tables and stuff...
If you want the Management Studio to manage the server you must download and install it from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=C243A5AE-4BD1-4E3D-94B8-5A0F62BF7796&displaylang=en
I ran into this just now with SQL Server 2014 SP1. The installer gave me the exact same problem and I followed suggestions from other answers to this question, but it got me nowhere.
In the end I figured out that I needed to download and install SQL Server 2014 first, and then apply SP1 to it. (doh)
I had to select the folder C:\SQL2019\Express_ENU for it to work.
For SQL Server 2017
Download and run the installer, you are given 3 options:
Basic
Custom
Download Media <- pick this one!
Select Language
Select ISO
Set download location
Click download
Exit installer once finished
Extract ISO using your preferred archive utility or mount
I found this one without any solutions. I am using SQL server 2019.
you can do the following:
download the sql server 2019 from [here] https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads
open the installer.exe and choose the Download media option
choose the iso option
after a while you will get a .iso file extract it in a folder it will give you file like this
the folder that you had extracted in it is the folder to be chosen hence it is the "Browse for SQL server Installation Media" target
hope that this helps you
Problem is about too long setup file name. Change setup.exe parent folder name(short a name). And try it!.
For me the Issue was I didn't run the setup as Administrator, after running the setup as administrator the message go away and I was prompted to install and continue process.
I downloaded from https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads
It gave me an iso file (en_sql_server_2017_standard_x64_dvd_11294407.iso)
I had to double click on it and then it gave me an E: drive on my computer.
Then I was able to select the E: drive when it asked for the Installation Media location.
