Role Management Tool

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

When trying to install SQL Server 2008 64-bit on the Microsoft Server 2008 64-bit, I met the following issue: One of the prerequisites to installing SQL Server 2008 was .Net Framework 3.5SP1.

After trying to run installation of .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 64-bit the following massage appears: “You must use role management tool to install or configure Microsoft .net framework 3.5”

Since I was not familiar what the role management tool meant, I did research and resolve this issue in the below described way:

    1. Open Server Manager (Start -> Administrative Tools -> Server Manager
    2. Under “Server Manager” click “Features”

    3. In the right hand pane, click “Add Features”
    4. Expand the “.Net Framework 3.5 Features” and select the all features
    5. Click “Add Required Role Services”
    6. Click Next
    7. Click Install
