Has anyone successfully created a slipstreamed drop of SQL Server 2008 R2 with SP2? I have successfully slipstreamed 4-5 other SQL Server 2008 and 2008 R2 versions with both SP's and CU's, so I'm not exactly new to this process, but can't seem to get SP2 to slipstream correctly.
I followed the following procedure:
- Copied SQL 2008 R2 RTM media to C:\SQL2008R2
- Deleted the x86 and ia64 directories.
- Extracted the x64 SP2 file to C:\SQL2008R2\SP
- Copied setup.exe from .\SP to .\
- Copied the files, but not the folders, and not the packagechain.dll from .\SP to .\
- Modified .\x64\DefaultInstall.ini to add PCUSOURCE=".\SP"
This process results in the following message:
"SQL Server setup media does not support the language of the OS or does not have the ENU localized files. Use the matching language-specific SQL Server media or change the OS locale through Control Panel."
I then tried copying the file .\SP\resources\1033\setup.rll to .\. This fails as well with the same error.
I then tried copying .\SP\1033_enu_lp and .\SP\resources to .\. This fails with the error:
"Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installation has failed. SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup requires .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 to be installed."
Let me quickly point out that the setup media language matches the OS language and SP language (ENU). Also, .NET is most definitely installed. Running the RTM setup and SP setup programs standalone work fine.
Thanks!
