Problem
I installed sql server 2008 R2 Express successfully, then realised I need to get Full Text Search. So I downloaded the "Advanced Services Installation Package", but when I run it there is no option in the "Feature Selection" part for Full Text Search. Please don't tell me I hav to uninstall and reinstall?
Solution
Its a two step process.
- In the installer select Maintenance/Edition Upgrade to upgrade your existing instance.
- Run the installer again and select Installation/...or add features to an existing installation/Add features to an existing instance.
