Hi All,
This could turn into a rant, but I'll keep it under control.
I was trying to download a copy of SQL Server 2008 Express for an install, but I can't seem to find a "stand-alone" copy of it. All the places I've checked route me through here (then click on the installation tab). Clicking on install, I am prompted to download Microsoft Web Platform- wpilauncher_n.exe which wants to install SQL Server Express....I can't find anywhere to only download it.
The rant would've begun here
Does anybody know if this is the only place available to download Express or a way around this Web Platform Installer so I can get a copy of 2008 Express?
Thank you.
