- CRM4 install against SQL Server 2008 gives missing msftesql and cisvcerrors
- Posted by AlliterationArtiste@hotmail.com on June 13th, 2008
Hi all. Trying above install:
During the verification phase of the installation, the app complains
about missing msftesql and cisvc services.
I know that msftesql is the sql server full text indexing service
which has a different name under sql server 2008. Have I found a bug
in the validation process or am I missing something.
Just in case: I did download the full install update as part of the
first stage of the install process.
Any clues?

Same problem for me with the CRM4 deployement on dedicated SQL Serveur 2008.
For the cisvc services, you must install the "Indexing service" by adding
the role service of the "File Services" role in 2008 Server. Details on Cesar
de la Torre's blog :

But I'm stucked for the following problem with msftesql
If someone succeeded with the install on SQL Sever 2008, it will be great to
inform us how it works.

I've spent a happy weekend googling and it would appear that it's not
supported although someone mentioned a white paper on how to do it
which I simply cannot find. However I have a cunning plan I might try.
Will report back if it works...

Found a solution. First of all things for the indexing service tip.
Solution to the indexing service is a bit of a hack but it works. I've
only tested CRM as far as getting the main web page up. But it does
come up. Solution to indexing service is actually pretty easy.
Open up regedit
Navigate to HKLM/System/currentControlSet/Services
Locate the key entitled MSSQLFDLauncher (which is the name of the key
for the indexing service in 2008)
Rename it to msftesql
I rebooted at this point but you could possibly just stop and start
the indexing service.
Install crm (and no grief about missing msftesql this time)
Let crm install complete (and it does!) 
rename key back to MSSQLFDLauncher
reboot
Bish bash bosh it (appears) to work!
Enjoy
