Hi all,
SQL server 2008 Express was installed on my Windows 7 Ultimate system as part of VS 2010 professional beta2.
I had a look at the configuration utilities and the SQL Server Installation Center...and the latter keeps asking for the installation media...so, if I would want to make changes later (advanced services perhaps, AdventureWorks for example (no pun intended) seems to require some special settings according to the download info), there would be problem.
Because this was installed as part of Visual Studio, I do not have a dedicated SSE disc or setup directory...and I'm not sure what to do...is this a special version of SSE 2008 for VS 2010? Does it install support files and if so, where? If not, how do I set them up for Installation Center myself?
Would it be better to uninstall this instance and install anew from scratch using the regular SSE 2009 download (VS 2010 installs it in a default manner, no questions asked) or would I lose some kind of VS2010 integration if I do that?
Sorry for all this noob stuff, hope someone can help me out...
Thanks,
Martijn
EDIT/P.S.
I have seen another thread on this problem but that didn't provide an answer, indicating compatibility issues instead.
There were no problems during installation. All installation tasks were reported complete and succesful, and I was able to connect to the instance and create a small test database using the VS2010 Server Explorer, so I do not think a faulty installation is causing this issue.
