No way to get Full Text Search engine on SQL Server 2008

without comments

Unluckely, I’ve to come back installing the SQL Server 2005 + Service Pack. In 2 days playing with the installation, I found that the easiest way to get the FTS on my laptop (Windows Server 2008, 32-bit), is to copy the msfte* file from the Binn directory of another sql server 2005 or 2008 installation (currently I don’t have any available).

Sad…. but waiting for the next CTP…I’ll never give up!

SQL Server 2008 won’t install on previous instances

without comments

While playing with the installation process of SQL Server 2008, I discovered that it won’t install on my laptop on previous instances, even if those ones where uninstalled correctly.

Anyway, I wouldn’t play. I just am trying to figure out how to correctly install the FTS (Full Text Search) on the CTP-6 version, that isn’t installing by default and is needed by TFS 2008.
