Requirement of .net framework for sql server 2008 r2 in Windows 8

  • What is the actual version requirement of .net framework for installing sql server 2008 r2 in a windows 8 PC?

    According to link Download and install Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1. or Download and install Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0.

    According to link Install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later

    In some article i saw that i should enable .net 3.5 features in control panel

    So what is the actual requirement?

  • This says .NET 3.5 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506%28v=sql.105%29.aspx)

    However when you run setup, it will run a pre-check and let you know if you are missing anything. I've never had to enable anything in control panel

  • Just to make life interesting, you cannot use the .Net 3.5 install media that is included with SQL Server to install .Net 3.5 on Windows 8 or Windows 2012.

    You need to use the install media in the Windows \Sources\SXS folder, and run it with this command:

    Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:"NetFX3" /All /Source:"path to sxs folder" /LimitAccess
