Today I tried to install SQL Server 2008 Version after installed Visual Studio Team Suite 2008.
In the "Installation Rules" Section, I got the error "Rule "Previous releases of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008" failed." as shown below
Then i clicked on the failed link, which is next to the rule.it shows the following popup Message
---------------------------
Rule Check Result
---------------------------
Rule "Previous releases of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008" failed.
A previous release of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 is installed on this computer. Upgrade Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 to the SP1 before installing SQL Server 2008.

OK

As suggested in the Error message, I Upgraded the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 with SP1, then i continued to install SQL Server 2008, it installed well without any issues.

ReplyDeleteYou might get entangled while reinstalling SQL Server 2008 on a PC where VS 2008 has already been installed before. Simple way to resolve this scenario is to install VS 2008 SP1 on the machine. Various routes which can be taken are:
ReplyDelete· Install Visual Studio 2008 SP1 before you install SQL Server 2008
OR
· Uninstall Visual Studio 2008, and then install SQL Server 2008. After SQL Server 2008 is installed, you can install Visual Studio 2008, and then install Visual Studio 2008 SP1.
OR
Do not install the following components of SQL Server 2008:
