Installing SQL Server 2008 R2

Service Pack 2

The installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition is required for any machine that will act as a primary or backup server. Machines running as a terminal require Microsoft SQL Compact Edition which is included in the Fusion installation package. The SQL installation file (Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition) can be downloaded from the Dealer Portal and installed by following the steps below.

If SQL Server 2008 R2 (Service Pack 1) is already installed, do not run the SQL Server 2008 R2 (Service Pack 2) installer. Service Pack 2 is not required, however, users can upgrade to Service Pack 2, if desired. Click here to navigate to the Microsoft website and download Service Pack 2.
