    So shall we conclude that it is not possible to install SQL 2008 R2 on Windows Core 2008 R2? I did try to do it following described steps but SQL installation ended with error when NetFx35 role has come into the game. SQL installer needs .Net 3.5 SP1 but it is not on the list of existing features. Please do correct me if this is not correct.
