SQL SERVER 2008 Installation issues

There are few common issues caused during the installation of SQL Server 2008, out of which some are difficult to solve using internet surfing....

One of them which I faced lot of time is "%1  not a win32 application" - this occurs while installing SQL Server 2008, and the module is "Database Engine"...
I am not sure but this may happen with other applications also.

While installing I figured that I was installing the sql server 2008 with "Option" set to support 64 bit, which was obvious as my OS was win 7 ultimate 64bit.

Then after trying a lot I just changed the option from 64bit to x86, and voila!!! the installation completed successfully...

Thats it....Happy coding :)

Hi, I recently faced this issue while binding Model.boolvariable as a parameter to js function. it was not getting passed as expected but always received 'onclick' the event name which was getting bind. here is the sample I was struggling with: <a href="" class="OpenDataTablePopup" style="font-weight:bold" onclick="javascript: ShowTBL(@Model.intfield, @Model.IsDefaultData ); return false;">Edit record</a> After several tries with trial and error I got this solution, which I wasn't aware of: <a href="" class="OpenDataTablePopup" style="font-weight:bold" onclick="javascript: ShowTBL(@Model.intfield, @Model.IsDefaultData.ToString().ToLower() ); return false;">Edit record</a> Just adding this info, as someone might save some time. Happy coding!!!

Got several things but no luck.....then I just went through all the properties of ReportViewer and then the ReportViewer1.LocalReport, there I found the RaportPath property which was not set while doing the Dynamic Report Binding. I was using the below Code: rvAll.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local; rvAll.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = Server.MapPath("rprtsalesBill.rdlc"); ReportDataSource rds = new ReportDataSource("inventorycontrolDataSet_tblSales",  objSalesBillList);  rvAll.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear(); rvAll.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(rds); rvAll.LocalReport.Refresh(); And after analyzing the properties of LocalReport I added the below line of code rvAll.LocalReport.ReportPath = Server.MapPath("rprtsalesBill.rdlc"); just before the ReportEmbeddedResource line.
