I installed SQL Server 2008 Express, basic edition (SQLEXPR32_x86_ ENU_Bootstrappe r.exe, version 9.0.30729.1) without any problem.
Then I attempted to install AdventureWorks Sample Databases for SQL Server 2008 (SQL2008.Advent ureWorks_All_Da tabases.x86.msi ). This attempt failed because SQL Server 2008 Express, basic edition doesn’t support Full-text Search, which AdventureWorks requires.
So I uninstalled SQL Server 2008 Express, basic edition and attempted to install SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services (SQLEXPRADV_x86 _ENU.exe,versio n 10.00.1600.22), which does support Full-text Search. This attempt failed because the installer demands an account number and password, which I don’t have.
Bear in mind, all Express versions of SQL Server are free from Microsoft, and I obtained my copy directly from Microsoft ( http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/download).
Moreover, although during the course of the installation a Product Key window appears, in which a user might have under different circumstances be intended to enter a registration key, in this version of the software this is clearly not intended. I say this because not only is the radio button labeled “Specify a free edition” selected (with the associated drop-down menu showing “Express with Advanced Services”), and the other associated radio button labeled “Enter the product key” is left unselected, but also this entire group of WinForm controls is rendered inactive.
Incidentally, I also tried to add Full-text Search capability to my original installation of SQL Server 2008 Express, basic edition via it’s Configuration Manager, but the Manager showed (wrongly) that this capability was already installed and was unable to implement this capability.
So: what do I do now?

I tried SQL Server 2008 Enterprise 180-day evaluation version - same result.

I've just installed .net 3.5 on a Windows Server 2003 box. Had .Net 2
installed previously, including SQL Express 2005.
Rebooted after install of 3.5, but SQL Server Express 2005 is prevented from
starting. Anyone any ideas? I've put some of the errors from the error log
below.
Many thanks

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
