Even if SQL Server is running in 2012, because of the usage of Geography fields, I have to keep the following installations:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Shared Management Objects
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Shared Management Objects x86
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Shared Management Objects x64
Microsoft System CLR Types for Microsoft SQL Server System 2008
Microsoft System CLR Types for Microsoft SQL Server System 2012 x86
Microsoft System CLR Types for Microsoft SQL Server System 2012 x64
If I remove the 2008 installations, it will break. This is highly irritating that I have to continue to support old 2008 installation files just to benefit of Geography fields in 2012. It seems there is some kind of dependencies in 2012 in regard to Geography fields that it continues to require the installation of those 2008 components.
I really need to get rid of that and only keep:
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Shared Management Objects x64
Microsoft System CLR Types for Microsoft SQL Server System 2012 x64
If someone has any idea, you may let me know.
