Hi All,
Got a question regarding SQL Server 08 R2 installation media.
Trying to install the SQL reporting service on a system that was installed a number of years ago. Were getting a message when trying to install this feature that the installation media is not the correct version and we need to insert the original media, unfortunatley we do not have the original media to hand.
As such I'm trying to determine which media I need to acquire. After some internet searching, I found a link on microsoft support (not able to post links) that detailed a FindSQLInstalls.vbs script that we ran on our system. The results of this return a version number aswell as the installation path. Is somone able to confirm if the values found from this script detail the original version number the system was installed with or if this is the current version the systems running under.
Also to install reporting, do we require the media to be in the same format it was originally installed under, as in if the original was installed from the desktop, can we now add the feature using the media off CD?
Thanks,
Lee
