Hi everyone,
I would like to repair my actual SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 CU1 Express with Advanced Services setup.
BTW, the "SELECT @@VERSION" statement actually gives me this result:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) - 10.50.4000.0 (Intel X86) Jun 28 2012 08:42:37 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Express Edition with Advanced Services on Windows NT 6.0 <X86> (Build 6002: Service Pack 2)
When going through the "control panel/add-remove programs", I then got a popup window: "Browse for SQL Server 2008 R2 installation media". Where should I find this setup file the repair process is asking for?
Looking at my C: drive for any setup files like "SQLEXPRADV_*.exe", I could find the following:
- C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SQL Server 2008 Express Install\Downloads\SqlExpressWithAdv\SQLEXPRADV_x86_FRA.exe: version is 10.0.1601.1
- C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\SQL Server 2008 Express Install\Downloads\SqlExpressWithAdv\SQLEXPRADV_x86_FRA.exe: version is also 10.0.1601.1
- The one I recently downloaded from the web - SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe: version is10.50.4000.0
I also found these ones:
- C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2008R2\x86\setup100.exe
version: 10.50.4000.0 date: 2012-06-29 - C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Update Cache\KB2494086\QFE\x86\setup100.exe
version: 10.50.1790.0 date: 2011-06-14 - C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Update Cache\KB2507770\QFE\x86\setup100.exe
version: 10.50.1777.0 date: 2011-06-10 - C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Update Cache\KB2528583\ServicePack\x86\setup100.exe
version: 10.50.2500.0 date: 2011-07-25 - C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Update Cache\KB2544793\QFE\x86\setup100.exe
version: 10.50.2769.0 date: 2011-07-27 - C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Update Cache\KB2630458\ServicePack\x86\setup100.exe
version: 10.50.4000.0 date: 2013-01-10
Which one would you suggest I choose for my repair? I would myself choose the last one (KB2630458) but I'm not sure because of the SP2CU1 level I currently am. Or maybe I'm still not looking at the right place?
Thanks in advance for helping,
Stéphane
