I've tried to google this but didn't find an appropriate answer yet:
This is my setup:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
- Visual Studio 2010
- SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
I didn't install SQL Server 2008 Express SP1 with the Visual Studio 2010 setup yet, because I have already installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.
But unfortunately SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise doesn't support the DataFile connection string property, so I'm forced to install a second SQL Server service on my laptop now.
So I took the Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate DVD and tried to install SQL Server 2008 Express from that installer (= "add Visual Studio feature").
But this installation failed. Here's the installation log:
[12/21/10,19:02:28] Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Service Pack 1 (x64): [2] Error code -2068643839 for this component is not recognized.
[12/21/10,19:02:28] Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Service Pack 1 (x64): [2] Component Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Service Pack 1 (x64) returned an unexpected value.

Can someone please enlighten me on what this error number is complaining about? What do I need to do to get SQL Server 2008 Express installed on my machine?
Your answers are appreciated.
