I need to install sql server 2008 r2 on 64 Windows machine. It should be 64-bit, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP3) - 10.0.* (X64). My previous co-worker said the following: "SQL has been installed as requested, but not configured. I believe that you will be prompted to install Management Studio when you walk through configuration of the product. The installer for the product is on the root of C: if you are prompted for its location. If you look in programs, you should see a SQL menu item with an installation/configuration tool inside." I believe he downloaded "SQLServer2008R2SP3-KB2979597-x64-ENU"
When I look in programs, I see "SQL Server Installation Center", and when I click on "Installation" -> "New Installation or add features to an existing installation, it brings me "Browse for folder" (Browse for SQL Server 2008 R2 Installation Media). I am thinking something is missing... Is it possible that the file "SQLServer2008R2SP3-KB2979597-x64-ENU" needed to be applied after initial installation? If I check "services", I do not see anything Microsoft SQL service related, except the following 4 files: Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v2.0.50727_X64, Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v2.0.50727_X86,Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v4.0.30319_X64, Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v4.0.30319_X86.
Can you please help me to figure out what has been done so far and what I need to do in order to install standard edition on this box?
