install SQL server express 2008 r2 on ubuntu 18.04?












0















I need to install a new invoice software on my pc. It is a Windows' based product and I am trying to run it by wine.



The installation process terminates because of this error: "SQL server express 2008 r2 problem 536870913".



Any ideas? I tried these steps but with no success: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/quickstart-install-connect-ubuntu?view=sql-server-2017

          Don't use wine because the instructions from Microsoft provide details for installing using Linux without it. Also, the Wine HQ entry for that app rates it as "Garbage", meaning it uses features not yet supported by wine.



          Instead follow the instructions for adding their Ubutun repository and installing the software:



          wget -qO- https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo apt-key add -
          sudo add-apt-repository "$(wget -qO- https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/16.04/mssql-server-2017.list)"
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install -y mssql-server


          However, be aware this is installing the 2017 version of Microsoft SQL Server, not the 2008 version, if that matters. If for some reason you need that specific (old) version of SQL Server you'll need to install VirtualBox and run Windows within it.
