SQL Server 2016 - Installation

Today, I finally found time to install SQL Server 2016 - CTP2 on a Window 8.1 Desktop PC

The software can be found here

Installation was just like every other installation of SQL Server so you shouldn't have any trouble installing it if you have installed SQL Server before.

The only extra thing I had to install on my desktop was Java SE Runtime Environment

At the time of writing the latest version can be found here

Other than that, it should be straightforward.
