Hi All
I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 instance that I need to install Replication components on.
I've been going through the appropriate wizard and selecting to upgrade an existing instance, the wizard recognizes the SQL Server that we have installed so that one is selected. On the next screen, I'd expect to see the feature selector with everything we currently have installed selected and greyed out, however nothing is selected (except for BOL).
So in order to select Replication Components, I'd have to also select Database Engine, suggesting that a new SQL Instance would be installed. Not wanting to do this, I'm having to abort.
I've tried a number of different ISOs now (one I found lying around on the server), but I haven't had any luck. My only option now seems to be to recreate the instance entirely, but that being a last resort, I was wondering if anyone may have had some experience
with this problem?
I am running the installer with the highest level of Windows and SQL access, if that helps.
Thank you
