Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express (64-bit) is a powerful and reliable data management system that delivers a rich set of features, data protection, and performance for embedded application clients. I've been looking half the day on the interwebs for a download link to a MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard iso. I dont find anything on microsofts.
I need to install SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard and I realized my installer was for the Enterprise version. We only have 1 license for Enterprise (already in use) and several for Standard. Since we are no longer receiving DVDs in the Volume Licensing program I went to grab a download from. No matter what I do I get an error or a zero KB file. I e-mailed Microsoft. Who knows how long that will take though.
Can someone out there try to login and see if the file works for you? I can download other products just fine, it's just this file that is crashing and burning but still, it would be nice to know I don't have a strange firewall issue or something like that.
