Determine installed SQLServer version without running SQLServer?
Posted on 2014-02-13
Hello
I have a hard-drive from a Win7 system that had SQL Server 2008 Express on it. The OS will no longer boot, but the file system is accessible. I need to know if the SQLServer version was 2008 or 2008 R2. Is there a way for me to determine this from within the filesystem given that I can't actually run SQLServer?
Thanks

Go into all users, check the start menu in there and see what it says
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\W
It'll be something like that for your start menu

go to the installation folder, typically:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server
and check which folders are there, and the content, for example:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER
in there, you shall have the sqlservr.exe file, right-click => properties => details tab.
you will see "file and product version" that shall match the version information listed here:
