How to do it...
Slipstream is a built-in ability of the Windows operating system and since the release of SQL
Server 2008 Service Pack 1, it is included.
The best practice is to use Slipstream Service Pack as an independent process for Service
pack installation, Cumulative Update patching, and Hotfix patching. The key step to Slipstream
success is to ensure the following steps are succeeded:
1. The prerequisite steps (mentioned in the earlier sections) are completed.
2. In case of multiple language instances of SQL Server, we need to ensure that we
download the correct service pack lang
uage from
http://www.microsoft.com/

nloads/en/
that suits the instance.
3. The Service Pack files are independent to each platform to download, such as X86 for
32-bit, X64 for 64-bit, and IA64 for Itanium platform.
To perform the Slipstream Service Pack process, you need to complete the following steps:
1.
Create two folders on the local server:
SQL2K8R2_FullSP
and
SQL2K8R2SP
.
2.
Obtain the original SQL Server 2008 R2 setup source media and copy to
SQL2K8R2_
FullSP
folder.
3.
Download the Service Pack1 from Microsoft Downloads site to save in
SQL2K8R2SP
folder, as per the platform architecture:
SQLServer2008SP1-KB968369-IA64-ENU.exe
SQLServer2008SP1-KB968369-x64-ENU.exe
SQLServer2008SP1-KB968369-x86-ENU.exe
