In this video we will see a typical installation of SQL Server. Moreover I have
already opened the window of Sql Server setup and I was presented this
screen that is divided into two parts on the left is a
group what they can do while each group
right side of the screen is the detail of individual transactions that
may be taken to make to carry out the installation of Sql
Server. We see for example the group "planning" on the right and a series of
actions. For example, the hardware and software. Click on requirements
Sql Server hardware. We come to a page of Microsoft there
with a grid indicating which are the hardware and software
install SQL Server 2008. Here we go down the page and slightly
we find this table in a very orderly explains what
precisely the requirements, prerequisite software. The first line shows us the
version of the Framework to be installed. The version of the framework will be
three. Five need someone that we should have installed the version
frame or in versione3.5
But here's a note an appeal. Let's go below the bottom of this this
grid and see where is the call here he tells us are the requests
Net Framework versions of SQL Server 2008 on Windows Server 2003 64 bit
and SQL Server and the Net Framework 2.0. What does this mean?
What if we want to install SQL Server Express on a Windows machine
Server 2003 64-bit version, there is enough of Net framework 2.0.
Or the version 3.5. E 'must also remember that if you want
install a final version of SQL Server Express, you must
uninstall any other version that may be present on the demo
machine. So there must be a trial version of SQL Server Express
in any edition. Let us consider briefly the other requirements
we return to the top of this grid and other requirements are requirements
software. There is the presence dell'Microsoft Windows installed, other requirements
software are always represented by the network software, this means that
that on the target machine to SQL Server 2008 will be the
at least one communication protocol between TCP / IP and UDP ports and memory
shared these protocols as we shall see in a video later in the
channel through which exchange takes place between the server and applications
client. The type of components that certainly makes the example easier to
understanding and communication between SQL Server 2008 database engine that is, the
database engine and application software environment
database administration. This grid also tells us that it is possible
install SQL Server 2008 version on a virtual machine. Other requirements
in the table below are the basic requirements for many Microsoft applications
such as installing Internet Explorer 6, the presence of a particular
space on your hard drive, optical drive, a screen with a certain
termination and other pointing devices.
Here then we have finished this overview of the hardware and
Software installations of SQL Server 2008. We can then close
this to this Web page and return it to our control panel
installation, another link is a feature on which I wanted to spend
a few words. In the control system configuration. This will
allows the system to analyze the presence or absence of certain
components that are essential to start SQL Server 2008 and the areas and
manage and administer. Click on the link configuration control
and here is the computer system has been analyzed. My server was
ee analyzed was generated a report that we now see, and that
tell me if it is suitable for a SQL Server 2008. Here I
in this case a table that tells me for instance if the registry is
consistent if the location of the installation media too long and I
generally gives all the details for those who are the verifications
Preparing to install SQL Server 2008.
In my case, in the case of my car, all operations are successful,
we say that is a machine that allows the installation and startup
an instance of SQL Server. So what I do is close this
window, this web page, go back to my report page, click ok
and return to the main control panel. I had an ok system
installation of SQL Server to make the process of its true
setup. Before installing, let's look at its true
other actions that can be done on this screen. We
information about data protection, the release notes, the guidance of
in-line installation, the introductory guide to the clustering and
about documentation. So if we want to deepen
some of these points before making the actual installation,
We can of course do so by choosing one of these links. I pass instead
directly to the installation process, click on the category
installation and click on the first link 'new stand-alone installation "of SQL
Server, or adding features to an existing installation. Jack up
this action here's a screen that shows us another report, a
report smaller than what was already contained in the screen
above, the control system configuration. This report gives us the
only the main details of our operating system we can still
Check it out. We will open as usual, a web page summary
that shows us just the basic requirements. And in the column that the
Our machine meets these requirements in this case the test
My car had a positive outcome so I can close this page
Web, click on the OK button and continue with the procedure. The screen
"Support Files for Installation" allows us to add

listed in this grid, they will be installed with the database engine,
with the SQL Server engine, otherwise the installation of the database will
forward without any additional software. I then click on
I continue to install and features support files for the installation. I
then will be added to the installation of SQL Server are proposed
the report again with information about the system, this time we can
move forward by clicking the "Next". Here, in this screen
We have the ability to perform a new installation, or add
features, the installation of additional features, the
instances that are already on the server for example, or this list these
grid applications already present on my machine that I could or
install a new instance, or select from this list in the instance
I prefer and add new features by pressing the forward button. In
Here I'm interested in installing a new instance of SQL Server, or SQL
Server Express so I click on "Run a new installation" and press
the "Next" button on this screen would be necessary to introduce the type

SQL Server Express is the free version of SQL Server, it is not necessary
