Is there any improvement on the installer. SQL Server 2014 express was 30 step nightmare the same ghastly thing they had for SQL Server 2008, I should of bailed and recommended a winadmin at the point people were making parody sites about how to find the downloader
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/DownloadSqlServerExpress.aspx. Then unresolved .Net dependencies (sure I'll go find them myself), followed by the #clicknext arthritis, and after about hr of gods know what it was installed. Oh wait tools.. I need the tools too..
I hope the version they release for linux is add-apt-respository microsoft/linuxsql and apt-get install mssql-server
I wouldn't actually care for MS SQL Server but for a client third party software depends on a SQL server instance and hence a Windows server in the population.
