If you have Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Beta on your PC, and then you want to install SQL Server 2008 RTM, you might have the following error.
A previous release of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 is installed on this computer. Upgrade Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 to the SP1 before installing SQL Server 2008.
(see : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956139)
That’s because you have Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Beta on your PC, not Visual Studio 2008 SP1. If you don’t have SP1, you can’t install it successfully. Today is August 9, and we need to wait until Microsoft releases Visual Studio 2008 SP1.
If you really want to install SQL Server 2008 RTM now, you need to uninstall Visual Studio 2008 and SP1 , install SQL Server 2008 RTM and then reinstall Visual Studio 2008. When Visual Studio 2008 SP1 is released, you can install it later.
The lesson I learn :
Always install SQL Server 2008 RTM first before you install Visual Studio 2008 +SP1
