np What issues are you having with your SQL?
Well, 1. My Avast apparently hates SQL 2008 with passion and blocks anything that's coming from it 2. My Windows Firewall doesn't like it that much either 3. I had to re-install it because of certain issues and now that i'm trying to re-install it I get a lot of errors like database engine installation failed which i've never before had even though Avast is disabled while I'm trying to install it. Only about 50% of the installation goes through.
