bob- Here is a tool which should assist you in creating the Merged slipstream media for SQL 2008.

sqlslipstreamer.codeplex.com

sqlslipstreamer.codeplex.com/.../78143

Any feedback? Put it on the Codeplex discussion or drop me a mail.

ps - this is not a Microsoft tool and is provided as is.

When will MS come with a tool to automate the slipstreaming?

@Tony - Its not manadatory to slipstream 2008 r2 install (unlike sql 2008 on win 2008 r2 and some other combinations).

Do you have to slipstream SQL 2008 R2 for cluster installation? Or can you just do a vanilla install and apply the service pack?

Patel, you just have to find the right update files to download. The really big ones. For CU6 they are:

SQLServer2008R2-KB2489376-IA64.exe

SQLServer2008R2-KB2489376-x64.exe

SQLServer2008R2-KB2489376-x86.exe

CU 6 has msi files instead of conventional .exe, so how to slipstream msi in to install media ?

What happens if you don't download one architecture? (Say for example you know you will never use IA64, and you don't even copy that IA64 directory from the DVD.)

Also, it looks like the instructions from SQL Server 2008 worked, which had you create the line: PCUSOURCE=".\PCU"

How is that different from the CUSOURCE setting?
