Question : SQl SERVER 2008 Installation Error...INSTALLSHAREDWOWDI<wbr />R
I have been trying to install SQL Server 2008 on a VPS. I get the following error just after I have chosen the features to be installed...
The INSTANCESHAREDWOWDIR command line value is not valid.......
I have searched pretty much every blog, forum, MSDN articles etc......... The only solution that worked for everyone was to run the setup from command line with the attributes:
setup.exe /action=Install /INSTALLSHAREDWOWDIR=C:\Pr
ogram Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server (x86) /INSTALLSHAREDDIR=C:\Progr
am Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server
I tried doing this but nothing seems to work. I have tried variations of the above command but nothing seems to work.
Im running Win Server 2003 64 bit
Trying to install SQl server Enterprise 64 bit.
I have reached a dead end.......
Answer : SQl SERVER 2008 Installation Error...INSTALLSHAREDWOWDI<wbr />R
You have the same path for both parameters. INSTALLSHAREDWOWDIR should point to the 32bit files like you have, but INSTALLSHAREDDIR should point to the 64bit setup files. By default, they are located here. C:\
Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server
