First I tried to install SQL Server 2012 RC0 as I had the installer already, but I ran into an issue (missing system CLR types). I decided not to handle this, since SQL Server 2012 RTM is available now. So I tried to install that one instead.
A smaller issue came up again. But Andre Ziegler saved my day with his post in one of the Windows 8 Developer Preview forums.
So, it's better running the script before you start the installation.
You'll have to run cmd as administrator, insert your Windows install disc and type:
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:d:\sources\sxs /LimitAccessDon't forget to check the drive letter of the source and replace it if necessary.
SQL Server 2012 is installed and running now on Windows 8. Thanks Andre :)
If you prefer using GUI, use Server Manager and add .NET 3.5 feature - equal to the script in the post.
ReplyDeleteYou might even do it during SQL Server installation - but before final progress bar starts going :).
Thanks Szymon. Actually, I prefer using GUI :) However this post is about installing SQL Server 2012 on Windows 8, not Windows Server 8.
ReplyDeleteI know where to find the Control Panel item which can enable Windows features, but it timed out every time. With DISM, it worked.
so you are saying that when I had installed windows 8; I have to run the script in the cmd, then Install SQL 2012?
ReplyDeletePlease let me know if I am correct.
Thanks
Sure - before that.
