I'm trying to install the italian version of sql server 2008 r2 on Windows 7 professional (language IT). I've tried different option:
1. from Microsoft Web platform site (failed)
2. using it_sql_server_2008_r2_express_x86.exe downloaded from the MSDN site (failed) from a command prompt with Administrative privileges
3. using it_sql_server_2008_r2_express_with_advanced_services_x86.exe downloaded from MSDN site (failed) from a command prompt with Administrative privileges
4. using the unpackaged content of the it_sql_server_2008_r2_express_with_advanced_services_x86.exe and running setup /ENU="False" (failed) from a command prompt with Administrative privileges
The setup program does not start and a message box is displayed saying:
"SQL Server setup media does not support the language of the OS or does not have ENU localized files. Use the matching language-specific SQL Server media or change the OS locale through Control Panel." The package is for the italian language, the OS language is Italian, the Language settings in Control panel are all for Italian.
It seems there is something wrong with the installation package. I've installed the previous version but I have compatibility problems with some database file that was created with the R2 version.
Many thanks for your help.
