Holy eff this installer is just killing me, I just want management studio not the damn server. <br /><br />Seriously, how come I can install SharePoint clusters and I get defeated by SSMSE 2008? I'll be the first one to get a cert for installing SSMSE if MS ever offers it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970736710331308901.post-87095644698946792482010-10-25T08:26:40.043+01:002010-10-25T08:26:40.043+01:00Just wait until SSMSE 2008 starts getting memory h...Just wait until SSMSE 2008 starts getting memory hungry on Win7. It gets into these moods where it eats whole Gig's, and becomes largely unresponsive. This usually happens around the time that you need a millisecond response from your latest query online for the presentation you're doing. MS has acknowledged that there are "issues" but I haven't been able to figure out how to use the installer to UPDATE my installation yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970736710331308901.post-41974349591765195742010-10-25T08:22:27.322+01:002010-10-25T08:22:27.322+01:00Even if you're succesful at the install (which...Even if you're succesful at the install (which I was, maybe I'm just "intuitive" enough for the installer), you then have the issue of whether you're running on Win7 or not. On win7, at times SSMSE 2008 will start to eat up memory like a hungry beast. Or it will make Skype eat up memory like it's a hungry beast. Either way, ultimately, when SSMSE 2008 gets hungry, it takes it's time, which is great if you happen to be sipping tea when this happens, but usually in my case, this happens just when I need the answer from that critically complex query I jsut pasted in. MS acknowledged this issue sometime back, but they have <i>still</i> not fixed it. Oh wait, they have. I just haven't figured out how to get the installer to UPGRADE my installation yet!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970736710331308901.post-32906260849358154882010-02-07T05:39:31.541+00:002010-02-07T05:39:31.541+00:00Wow.
