It is just an exe.
From the MS download page (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=7218)

Thank you very much. I have seen that page but was expecting a bit more than just "How to obtain ...." and How to install SQL server itself.
For example, do I need to take databases offline prior to installation or what services need to be shut running and etc.
