Sql server configuration manager error

I am using Windows 7 32 bit OS and working on Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and when I open the configuration tool I got this error message.
Then I googled the error and got this below link.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30437
Then I downloaded Microsoft® SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2
Then when I tried to install this application I got this error
How to solve this issue?? Any help appreciated.
In your question you write that you are using Microsoft SQL SERVER 2008but the download link is for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, which is a different (newer) version. If you are indeed using the 2008 version and not 2008R2 what you want is the service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2008: SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 3

There was an unknown error applying the filestream settings. check the parameters are valid

I am getting the following error while trying to configure FileStream in SQL server 2012.
There was an unknown error applying the filestream settings. check the parameters are valid. (0x80041008)
I am configuring it using SQL server configuration manager.
Where as I am able to setup it for SQL server 2008 R2.
I had this same problem just yesterday.
In my case it was because I had a 64-bit Windows and a 32-Bit SQL Server.
You do not see the exact error, but if you try to do it with T-SQL, then the proper error comes up in SQL, telling you something about "WOW64" not supporting filestream.
I just uninstalled and installed the right bit version of SQL, and all worked 100% again.
In my case the problem I was running the SQL Server 2014 configuration manager. While this usually shouldn't cause problems, in my case it did. Configuring FILESTREAM using the SQL Server 2012 configuration manager worked.
If it still doesn't work, make sure you're up-to-date. SQL Server 2012 has received quite a lot of patches (SP2, SP3, and some updates).
TL;DR
I simply installed Service pack 2 (SP2) patch of SQL Server 2008 R2 and everything started working for me.
Read on if you want to know more. Configuration wise my box was all correct and the file stream feature should have been working on my default instance of SQL Server 2008 R2. Here are my box details:
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultitmate SP1 (64 Bit)
SQL Server Version: SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1
On SQL Server if I run this query select ##version it was returning following details:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (RTM) - 10.50.1600.1 (X64) Apr 2 2010 15:48:46 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
Whenever I opened SQL Server 2008 Configuration manager I will face this issue. Luckily I also had SQL Server 2014 installed on my machine. So I tried enabling File Stream feature from configuration manager GUI of SQL Server 2014 but it started giving error mentioned in current post.
I simply installed Service pack 2 (SP2) patch of SQL Server 2008 R2 and everything started working for me. SQL Server Configuration manager for 2008 R2 also works fine and I'm able to enable File Stream feature also without any trouble. SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 can be downloaded from here.

Unable to install BIDS for SQL Server 2005

I am working on a machine with Windows XP Service Pack 3. I have Visual Studio 2010 and have installed the express version of SQL Server 2008.
I got a SQL Server 2005 server for my development environment. I need to write a SSIS package.My machine doesn't have BIDS.
I tried installing BIDS with my SQL Server 2005 software and it is not going through the entire installation and it is failing.
I checked the Event Viewer and it has information - Event ID 1033 Source: MSiInstaller.
I don't have any other information (I know it is tough to troubleshoot installation issues with the information I have provided.) and wondering has anyone encountered this error?

Is it possible to install SQL Server 2005 (enterprise edition) on Windows Server 2008?

Is it possible to install SQL Server 2005 (Enterprise Edition) on Windows Server 2008?
Sure, why shouldn't it be possible to do that???
Just do it! I don't see any reasons why you should have any issues with this setup.
Go ahead and try it - if you run into any actual problems, come back (but preferably to http://Serverfault.com) and ask for help.
Yes. The SQL Server version doesn't have to match the operating system version, as it is for example with the IIS.
Yes.

SQL server 2005 instance not found

I was using SQL server 2005 express edition and, therefore was limited by a data base 4 giga size. I decided to install SQL server 2005 developper (64bits) in order to be able to go beyond 4 gigabytes data base size.
The installation program run with no error message on a Windows 7 64 bits, but did not install the SQL server Management Studio. After a couple of investigations, I found out and run the installation program on CD2 SqlRun_Tools.msi which installed the missing tools. I then installed the SQL server SP3 package.
When I opened the Management Studio, the 3 instances of SQL 2005 Express where there but no SQL 2005 developer edition (new) instance was shown.
I restored the system, then removed each one of the SQL server Express instances, then fully reinstalled the SQL 2005 developper edition with its default instance name, but again no SQLserver 2005 Developper instance was listed on the SQL Server management studio. Surprise! the 3 instances from SQL 2005 Express edition (which were all previously uninstalled) were still there, but not accessible.
I have tried to access the new SQL server Developper through my code but the instance has not been found either.
All connection strings have been working for a long time with SQL Express edition and are correct.
I have also checked that SQl server and SQl browser were started.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot.
