    Team,

    Does it is possible to find out edition of the SQL Server setup (2008) without actually installing the instance itself.

    Most installation sets contain all editions. The edition that installs depends on the key that you use during set up. Some installations have the key embedded. To see which you have, run the installer, select install new instance and go just a couple steps into the installer til you get to the product key page. If there's a key already embedded, you'll see the edition selected and the selection box greyed out. If there's no edition selected, then the edition installed depends on the product key used.
