Installation from E:\Software\SW_DVD9_SQL_Svr_Enterprise_Edtn_2008_R2_English_MLF_X16-29\ setup.exe is the root and open to install any instances or repair. Here it creates a 'setup' file and this setup is not the actual setup file by which we have initiated our installation and it's actual setup file location isĮ:\Software\SW_DVD9_SQL_Svr_Enterprise_Edtn_2008_R2_English_MLF_X16-29\ setup.exe example: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2008R2\ setup.exe Means when we install a default or named instance its file are created in its provided location i.e. To install/repair we need to have a root setup file. Now I got better understanding on this scenario, (Note: It's not for the existing instance, common setup file for all new instances) and if we are requested to install a new instance can we use this instance specific setup file (as mentioned in the above location landing page, installationĬenter) or does it restricted for that specific instance? In a case, even if client is not sure about setup file or if the setup file is not existed as shown in summary file So double click this installation center will allow us to repair existing instance? Note: Just before 圆4 folder (as shown below)įiles\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2008R2\圆4 ) Since it is an already installed instance I can see it's setup file here "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2008R2" Programms>Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2>Configuration Tools>SQL Server Installation Center (64bit)>Run As Administrator

To repair an existing instance do we have to select installation center: All

Ok now it's clear for me on how to find the setup file location. In regards to my early question and as per my observation I have found that below location can direct to setup file:Īll Programms>Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2>Configuration Tools>SQL Server Installation Center (64bit)>Right Click>Open File Location: Directing to LandingPageĬ:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2008R2\圆4įrom setup Bootstrap we can see log folder there Summary text file can be seen, here we can find the setup file location. Now here we are drafting precautionary measures and roll back procedure hence collecting all available setup file locations: Now we don't have SQL Setup file location which is considering as a hurdle to install new instances & repair existing instance (if required) & rollback service pack may require un-install and install new instance in worst scenarios.

In this perspective even we are short of details we want to upgrade Service Packs initially one after another but here our challenge is that these servers are earlier maintained by other DBA's and we are left with no useful information, in these scenarios To be clear, we are maintaining few servers and want to propose implementations as per the Microsoft best practices.
