Install .Net 2.0
FineBuild can install and configure .Net 2.0 as part of the SQL Server install process.
This section applies to SQL Server 2005 installs only. SQL Server 2005 requires that .Net 2.0 is installed prior to starting the main SQL Server install.
FineBuild will always
Install .Net 3.5 if the install media is available, as this will avoid potential issues if you decide you need it at a later date. For further details please see
Install .Net 3.5 and
Install .Net 4.0.
If the install media for .Net 3.5 is not available, then for some editions of SQL Server or versions of Windows the install media for .Net 2.0 must be downloaded, for others the install media is included. The table below shows when you must do a download.
| Operating system | SQL Server Version | Express Edition | Other Editions |
|---|
| Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 7 | | Included | Included |
| Windows 2008 or below | | Download | Included |
If you need to do a download, then choose the correct process for your operating system.:
