Install SQL Server 2008
Installing the new SQL Server is not very different from installing older version. You have some new options, don’t have to change the media anymore and have some nice wizards.
The SQL Server 2008 requires some components, which will be installed automatically during the setup process.
.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (installed before SQL Server is being installed) Hotfix for Windows Server 2003 (KB942288-v4 will be installed) Powershell 1.0 (will be installed later) After installing the Hotfix, the System requires a reboot!
