Hi,
I have a Win 7 machine who's SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 fails to install. I noticed that SQL on this computer is not a full installation but wondering what is actually installed.
In my Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 folder, i have only a Configuration Tools folder with a SQL Server Installation Center application.
In my C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2\ folder, i have a 90 and 100 folder. The 90 directory only has shared\resources\1033\license_SysClrTypes and one instapi.dll in the shared directory. In the 100 folder there are a few folders (Keyfile, License Terms, SDK, Setup Bootstrap, Shared).
There's also a Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition in Program files. This is also almost empty. Inside is a \v3.5 directory with 7 dll files and a Desktop folder which is empty.
I'm not sure if there's a database on this computer or if these SQL versions are just sitting there not being used. In that case i would uninstall them and not worry about the failed update.
In my Program and Features, i see the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client (version 10.0.1600.22)
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Objects (version 10.50.1600.1)
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client (version 10.50.1600.1)
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup (English) (version 10.53.6000.34)
Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types (version 10.50.1600.1)
Is there an easy way to check if an application is using a SQL database on here?
Thanks in advance,
John
