Finally, after finished install my new WinXP - SP3 on a new harddisk, im now installing latest development tools - Visual Studio 2008 & SQL Server 2008 Express.
VS 2008 installation was successful setup without any error BUT, my SQL Server 2008 Express did show me some error.
The 1st error it show is that they require Windows Installer 4.5 in order to continue...hmmmm...
Secondly, it require Windows PowerShell as well....
So for you guys that wants to install, please make sure you have this 2 additional files before you start your SQL Server 2008 Express installation.
Oh ya, if you wish to install just only SQL Server 2008 Express ONLY, then you need to install .NET Framework 3.5 as well.
Download :
SQL Server 2008 Express Edition (Free)
Windows PowerShell 1.0
Windows Installer 4.5
.NET Framework 3.5 - SP 1
Some download required genuine copy of windows!
Disclammer : this error is found on my computer, not sure if your computer will have the same error.
