Cannot get to install SQL 2008 R2 on Windows 2003 x64

  • Hi,

    Error is: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.WizardFramework, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.

    I have looked everywhere for assistance on this but just cannot get it right. I have reloaded the OS even 🙂 Summary file contents below.

  • anyone?

  • All I can say is that I have done this many times and it should work.

    If you want to use Filestream you will need to install KB 937444, but otherwise the SQL Enterprise media should have all the components you need to install on Windows 2003.

    Sometimes the install will fail on a very slow server but this is normally shown in service start failures or non-existant paths in the error messages. Your problem seems to be a simple install issue.

    You say you have reinstalled Windows. Is it worth getting a new copy of the SQL install media in case what you have is corrupted.

  • 3rd time lucky. Media was an issue
