    Please give me a link to download SQL Server 2008 Express without using WPI

    Reply Contact

    I can NOT install SQL Server 2008 Express now that MS has changed this to use WPI.  I'm trying to install this on a domain controller.  I know that's not recommended, and I absolutely could not care less!  I have to have this working ASAP.  Because a DC has a different setup with the NT Authority\Network Service account, installation fails with an error regarding this.

    Please, if someone could provide me with a link to install this the OLD way, it has options to configure the service to run with another account.  This setup gives me no options whatsoever except to set the SA password or use Windows Authentication, which fails either way.

    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    Here is the link. http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2009/06/15/installing-sql-server-2008-guidance.aspx

     You can find it on the SQL 2008 installation pages  under the table named "Other Installation options" Yes its a rather small link.

     Hope his helps.

    Thanks

    Richard

    Richard, Thank you so much! I was also able to find this by searching for "SQL Server 2008 Express redistributable" on Google:

     http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=58ce885d-508b-45c8-9fd3-118edd8e6fff&displaylang=en

     I think both will do what I need it to.  Thank you again!
