Installing Microsoft SQL Server 2008

Attached you will find SQL2008Install.bat and SQL2008Install.ini which contain the minimum options necessary for JPEGger and/or EZCash to run correctly. More options may be added at your discretion. Before installation, customization for the system’s configuration is most likely necessary for both files.

1. Edit SQL2008Install.bat
   • Change the location of the installation media:

     D:\Setup.exe /ConfigurationFile=”C:\Program Files\JPEGger\SQL2008Install.INI”

     The “D:” should be the location that the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 installation software resides.In this example, the DVD Rom drive containing the installation software is D: drive.However, this could be a different drive or even a shared drive with an extended path.

   • Change the location of the installation configuration:

     “C:\Program Files\JPEGger\SQL2008Install.INI”

     This points to the other file mention in this article.In this example, I chose to put both the batch file and configuration file in the JPEGger application folder.

     Note:On 64-bit servers, JPEGger installs in “C:\Program Files (x86)” folder.Therefore, change the location to:

     “C:\Program Files (x86)\JPEGger\SQL2008Install.INI”

2. Edit SQL2008.INI

   At the top of the configuration file, there is a section that will need to be changed based on the server’s configuration.Section is as follows:

   ;*****************************************************************************;
   ; Specifies the path to the installation media folder where setup.exe is located.

   MEDIASOURCE=”D:\”

   ; Specify the installation directory.

   INSTANCEDIR=”C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server”
   ;INSTANCEDIR=”C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server”

   ; Specify the root installation directory for native shared components.

   INSTALLSHAREDDIR=”C:\Program Files\JPEGger\Microsoft SQL Server”
   ;INSTALLSHAREDDIR=”C:\Program Files (x86)\JPEGger\Microsoft SQL Server”

   ; Specify the Instance ID for the SQL Server features you have specified. SQL Server directory structure, registry structure, and service names will reflect the instance ID of the SQL Server instance.

   INSTANCEID=”MSSQLSERVER”
   ;*****************************************************************************;

   • The first line is for the source of the installation media.Change:

     MEDIASOURCE=”D:\”

     to the location of the media.

   • The second group of lines define the installation location of the Instance software.This may be done anywhere on the server.This example shows the default installation paths for both the 32-bit and 64-bit locations.

     INSTANCEDIR=”C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server”

     ;INSTANCEDIR=”C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server”

Note:The line not in use has a “;” as the first character which comments that line out so that it will be ignored by installation
