Phillip Burton

Put the SQL Server CD in, and choose AutoRun.

Its on the clients computer and i will more then likely remote into it..

Phillip Burton

If you can't put in the CD, then download it from Microsoft. You may need the license key, though, which would be in the CD box.

I'm not sure yet .. they have not gotten back to me. If for some reason they come back that they don't have sql server at all would it work to use one of the free versions of SQL Server

Phillip Burton

You could use an Evaluation edition for 180 days. There's also a Developer edition, but that's only for test environments.

How about the express version?

Phillip Burton

The Express version supports limited SSRS features.

OK if they have SQL Server 2012 where would i go to download just the SSRS stuff

Phillip Burton

You can't just download the SSRS stuff. You download the entire installation, and then you select as part of the installation only those features you want to install.
