MS SQL 2005 Media

[Graeme1978]

Does anybody know where I can get my hands on the installation software for SQL Server 2005?

 

Our organisation has a fully licensed installation, however I need to install the Full text search component and can't do that without the media, suffice to say I can't find it!

Do you have TechNet / MSDN Subsciption?

Hi James,

 

Thank you for your reply. We don't unfortunately

 

We have a storage facility off-site since an office move last year. I'm going to head down there Thursday and see if its ended up there but just wondered if there were any other ways of getting hold of the media.

You should be able to login to your MS account to view your licenses and download the media. http://Http://licensing.microsoft.com You will have access with your current subscription/license with MS.

Not sure if these links will be useful? They are MSDNAA ISOs...

To convert the SDC files into ISOs download and run UnpackSDC from the command prompt e.g.

 

for %a IN (*.sdc) DO unpacksdc.exe "%a" .\
