Hi

I have installation media fro sql server 2012. I installed IIS to host sql server binaries for version 2008 and 2012. I can download them directly from the my IIS website. I didnot understand what is checksum in the cookbook and how to find that value.

The checksum can be generated by you. Use to prevent a file from being re-downloaded.

The Checksum is a SHA256 value. This article might be helpful:
