MS SQL server services not installed - help!
- by judahgabriel
Hi guys,
I've installed SQL Server 2008 R2, but connecting to my local machine in SQL Management Studio fails:
Putting "localhost" or "." as the server name results in the same error.
I've narrowed down the problem: there are no SQL services installed:
Bringing up the Services control panel applet shows me there are no MS SQL services installed.
Things I've tried:
Repair install of SQL
Complete uninstall and reinstall of all MS SQL products.
How can I get SQL Server running?
