I was reading PSS MSDN blogs and found an useful information about SQL 2008 installation and thought of sharing this with you. There is a know issue with SQL 2008 setup (refer KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957453/) and they have fixed this in cumulative update 1. Lets see how to use CU1 to fix this installation issue.

  • Before Installing SQL 2008 from CD \ DVD, download cumulative update 1(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956717) and install it in the machine, this will install the newly updated setup support files alone with the version 10.00.1763.0.
  • Once this is done, you can now proceed with SQL 2008 installation. When the installation starts it will use the newly installed setup support files bypassing the know issue with the KB article 957453.
  • After successful installation of SQL 2008 you need to re-run cumulative update 1 to update all SQL 2008 components.

That’s it you have done with the installation!!

To know more on this topic you can refer this PSS blog link “How to fix your SQL Server 2008 Setup before you run setup…“.
