Running SQL Server Setup

Use SQL Server Setup to install Microsoft® SQL Server™. The Setup program guides you through a series of options and then installs the components you have selected, such as the database engine, interactive management tools, and reference materials.

You can run the Setup program from the SQL Server compact disc or from a network. To run the Setup program from a network, copy the contents of the compact disc to a shared network directory.
