Re: Install SQL from web No, you need the direct link to the file! For example, the link to "ENU\x64\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe" (132.3 MB) is: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...PR_x64_ENU.exe Or the link to "ENU\x64\SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe" (1.3 GB) is: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...DV_x64_ENU.exe Or the 32-bit "ENU\x86\SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe" (116.7 MB): http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...PR_x86_ENU.exe More links are available.

Re: Install SQL from web I found the correct link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=29062 Do I past that into the Download File(HTTP) box as the Host Address? Do I need to fill in any other boxes? Thanks.
Re: Install SQL from web That's what I was thinking...Microsoft helps, of course, by making 10 or 12 different versions available to download all at the same link...
Re: Install SQL from web If I were you, I would redirect the customers to the original Microsoft link. Quite a few users need download managers to download >2GB files. Many things can go wrong during a >2GB download process. Friedrich
Re: Install SQL from web My problem is my site didn't want to allow a 2Gb file to be uploaded....thanks.
Re: Install SQL from web You can use the "Download File (HTTP)..." script function to download the redistributable from the Microsoft site. Display a "Wait..." dialog (with "Start on separate thread" enabled) to show that a download is in progress. After the download process, start the redist as usual. BTW, I would suggest to download the redistributable from your own site. From time to time, Microsoft changes the direct links. Friedrich
Install SQL from web I feel like I've asked this before but I searched and can't find the answer. My current setup project installs SQL from the installation DVD. I'd like to make up a second project that installs SQL from a Microsoft link. How would I do that?
