To solve issues when installing SQL Server media on Windows 11 systems I want to read a registry value before Pre-requisite SQL Server Media is installed.
If the value is not available or incorrect it should be added to the registry (ONLY when the SQL instance isn't already installed).
The system needs to be rebooted in order to activate the new value (before installing SQL Server).
Background info: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/sql/database-engine/database-file-operations/troubleshoot-os-4kb-disk-sector-size
The code basically looks like the following.
Code: Select all
Set Variable WIZZ_FORCE_SECTORSIZE_WIN11 to
Set x64 - Native 64 bit Windows, AMD64 and EM64T Architectures - installation mode
Comment: Registry uitlezen t.b.v. installatie SQL Server op Windows 11 systemen.
Read Registry Key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\stornvme\Parameters\Device\ForcedPhysicalSectorSizeInBytes into WIZZ_FORCE_SECTORSIZE_WIN11
if Variable WIZZ_FORCE_SECTORSIZE_WIN11 not Equals * 4095
Comment: Registry waarde toevoegen t.b.v. installatie SQL Server op Windows 11 systemen.
Write Registry Key HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\stornvme\Parameters\Device\ForcedPhysicalSectorSizeInBytes, * 4095 (permanent)
Reboot Computer and Resume Setup
end
Will it work if I add the section to the "Check SQL Instance"-script (like below)?
Code: Select all
Set Variable ISWINDOWS64BIT to FALSE
Set Variable WIZZ_FORCE_SECTORSIZE_WIN11 to
Get System Setting Windows in 64 bit Mode into ISWINDOWS64BIT
if Variable ISWINDOWS64BIT Equals TRUE
Set x64 - Native 64 bit Windows, AMD64 and EM64T Architectures - installation mode
Check Service State for MSSQL$BALANCEDPLUS2008 (write result into variable MSSQL2022_X64)
if Variable MSSQL2022_X64 Equals NOTINSTALLED
