Problem Running Sql Server 2005 Express on Vista

I have been trying to get Sql Server 2005 Express Advanced with SP2 installed and operating on my Vista machine. It seems to install ok but when I open Management Studio Express and try to create a new db or attach an existing one, I get error messages. So although it seems to be installed, I can't really use it.

When I try to create a new database I get:

I have tried following the links in the error messages but the result is: "We're sorryThereis no additional information about this issue in the Error and EventLog Messages or Knowledge Base databases at this time. You can use thelinks in the Support area to determine whether any additionalinformation might be available elsewhere."

I am successfully using both programs on my XP SP2 machines, so I know how to install and run them on XP, just not on Vista (yet). Any suggestions on how to proceed?

I had alot of VS issues when I switched to Vista. Are you running the management studio as an admin? As a test you may want to turn off UAC and see if that fixes your issue. If it does then you just need to change the permissions that you are running with.

|||

Thanks for the suggestion. It worked and I am able to run Sql Server 2005 Express via Management Studio to create and attached databases.

Question: Do I have to toggle the UAC on and off every time I want to use SQL Server Express (or leave it off always if I am willing to accept the security issues)? Or do I have other options?

|||

I personally turned mine off just because I am the only user of the PC and I'm fairly certain that if I was going to do something harmful to my own PC I'd just turn UAC off at the time I was doing it anyway. There is however a way to set the program to always run in admin mode. I'm on an XP machine right now so I can't post instructions myself but step 3 in the below article should be what you need.

Thanks for help. I hope I get equally good advice as I sort out some of my other Vista problems!

Problem of SQL Server 2005 Reporting service installation

The report manager site not working properly after I install the SQL Server 2005. I have been tried to fix it since yesterday. But it just getting worse. I need to get this to work properly before I can install the Visual Studio Team Foundation Server.

I am following the Visual Studio Team Foundation Installation Guide.
The Steps I have done so far are:

1. Install SQL Server 2005 and assign application pool to reports and report server sites in IIS.

2. Try to install Team Foundation Server, but I noticed that it requires sharepoint service to be installed first. The service seems already installed in this computer. So I didn't reinstall the sharepoint service. When I try to exclude the SQL Server Reporting Services Web applications from share point service, the command throw exceptions. When I try to view the localhost/reports, the page has errors(Reports server Unable to generate a temporary class, CS2001: xxx.dll could not be found error CS2008: No inputs specified). xxx.dll refers to different dlls each time I request the page.

3. Uninstall Sharepoint and reinstall, still encounter the same problem.

4. Uninstall SQL Server 2005, I also noticed the ReportServer sites in IIS haven't been removed after uninstallation. So when I reinstall the SQL Server again, on the Report Server Installation Options page, I can't select Install the default configuration (default selection), instead the second option is selected which is no auto configuration(options are all grey out so I can't change the selection). After installation, the report server site get a no page found error.

I also noticed in IIS - Report Server(Stop) can't be start. I get a Parameter is incorrect error when I try to restart. There is two sites underIIS - Report Server(Stop) , they are Reports and ReportServer, they seems correct. But if right click the Report Server(Stop) and click Properties - Asp.NET tab. It point to the D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\InetPub\wwwroot\web.config. However, I can't find any web.config under Microsoft SQL Server\InetPub\wwwroot\. So it seems something missing there...

Please help... Any idea and suggestion are welcome!
There are a lot of pieces at work here. For some reason, SharePoint doesn't seem to be too happy. We are working on making the RS and SP combination setup experience better but this won't be until RTM. Here is what I would do:

1. Uninstall SQL Server (and RS). Delete the virtual directories in IIS and the SQL directories in the file system (including the databases)
2. Uninstall the .NET Framework 2.0 (this shouldn't be the reason, but just to be safe)
3. Reinstall SharePoint. Make sure that it is working, including the ability to exclude virtual directories.
4. Install RS. You might have to go with a 'non-default' install and use the RS Configuration tool to create the virtual directories. They will need to be in a different application pool than SharePoint. If the default install works, you will need to change the application pool for the vdirs created by setup.
5. Exclude the RS virtual directories in the SP Site Configuration.|||Thank you for your detailed information. One more question, I installed Active Directory after installed the IIS. In your case, did you install IIS after you install AD or before? I just wonder whether I should reinstall IIS.

Cheers|||Thank you very much, I uninstall IIS and sharepoint and reinstall them, everything works fine so I eventually can begin install the Foundation server, but when I install the server, I get 32000 error.
Error 32000. The Commandline "D:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Enterprise Server\BISIISDIR\sdk\bin\tfsadaminst.exe" /install DIONYSUS 2420 TFGSS Hyperknowledge\TFSSETUP' return non-zero value:1

I have a look the event viewer and these errors are all cannot create *** performance counter, for example:

The report server cannot create the Cache Misses/Sec (Semantic Models) performance counter.

I wonder wether the memory is not enough in the machine...

Problem of MS SQL -ntwdblib.lib NOT found

Dear all,

I want to use C program to connect MS SQL server.
I copied some sample file to install on my computer.
When I run the program, an error occurred, which is about ntwdblib.dll
not find in some paths.
But when I check the paths again, they have ntwdblib.dll.
When I run my C program in another computer, it works...

so , I feel very frustrated.

In my C program, I include the following libraries.
#defineDBNTWIN32
#include "windows.h"
#include <sqlfront.h>
#include <sqldb.h>
#include <stdio.h
Also, I don't know the meaning of "#defineDBNTWIN32".
I haven't installed SQL Client on my computer. Is it the main
problem??

Pls help!!

Yes, that is the problem. NTWDBLIB.DLL is the DLL for DB-Library, which
is not part of MDAC, so SQL connectivity is about the only way to install
it.

DB-Library is a very good client library, but unfortunately Microsoft
does not agree, so they stopped developmet of DB-Lib many years ago.
As a consequence, you have restricted support for new features in
SQL Server with DB-Library.

Unless you have some legacy software you are working with, I'd recommend
you to use ODBC or OLE DB instead.

I'm not completely sure, but I don't believe that SSRS 2000 can run on
Vista. I believe that you need SQL Server/SSRS 2005 SP2 to run it on
Vista.

Problem installing SQL2K on WinXP Home

Hello there!

I am trying to install MS SQL 2000 Server on Windows XP Home edition.
I found in Microsoft that the above installation is possible.
But when i run the installation, i am getting a black screen that is
closes after a second. Nothing else happens.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

Thank youLook for a log file named sqlstp.log. This is the log file created during the installation process. There should be some information in that log which might help you.|||Originally posted by rnealejr

Next step will be to go the AVLNODO1 and AVLNODO1 and review the sqlstpN.log where N is an integer.
Cut and paste the sqlstpN.log if you need more help.

Problem installing SQL Server Reporting Services

I've been trying to install the MSDN Developers edition of SQL Server
Reporting Services for serveral hours. My environment is as follows:
XP Pro, SQL Server 2000, SQL Server SP3a, .Net Framework, VS.Net
(Enterprise).
I have uninstalled/reinstalled SQL Server (and SP3a) - several times.
The problem is that when I try to install the RS I only get the option
to install the Client Components (not very helpful for developing
reports locally)
While this looks like a great tool I'm inclined to go back to using
Crystal Reports unless I can get this resolved without <<<wasting>>
much more time!
Anyone have any thoughts?
GlennYou only want the client app on your computer. You can only install the RS
Enterprise on a server. The client app works perfectly fine for developing
reports and deploying them locally to view them. You will have to setup a
separate report server to deploy reports into production, if I understand
your needs.

link: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/reporting/productinfo/sysreqs.asp)
Do you have XP Pro with SP1?
Another point to consider, XP Pro does not have IIS by default running. Have
you installed IIS? Add/Remove Programs Windows Components.
IIS needs to be installed plus ASP.Net needs to be installed and running. My
guess is something with the web server is not setup correctly.

Enterprise and Developer set up on one server machine, Developer on 2
other desktops. If you access Report Manager from the Server machine,
everything looks fine. But Report Manager accessed from the
non-server machines shows the top banner only... No tabs, no folders,
nothing below the line, so a developer can't upload without switching
over to the server, and even then there are often errors.
Is there some configuration subtlety we missed?
Otherwise this thing is giving me problems with OutOfMemory errors on
local debugs that I know aren't too big.
Ideas?

problem seems to be accessing it. It looks to me like you haven't setup your
roles for the developers on other machines.

thread.
My solution was to re-install WIN XP Pro SP1. Once SP1 was
re-installed RS installed with no further problems.
Hope this helps!

problem installing SQL Server Express CTP April 2005

File Information

Verifying link...

hi,

How ever hard i tried to install "SQL Server Express CTP april 2005" i get errors. Earlier my system had previous version (beta 2) of the same. I removed and tried to install but cannot.

My system is already installed with MSDE 2000, Is it necessary to uninstall that ?

My another system is installed with SQL Server 2000 , i could also not able to install / rather i could not connect to SQL Express however tried.

could any one help.

thanks

There are a number of possibilities. Rather than speculate on what your problem might be, could you tell us:

What error do you get?
What OS and version are you installing on?
Is this machine connected to a domain? Is it in a workgroup?
Could you attach the setup logs?

Problem installing SQL Server 2005 SP2

The problem seems to be with the authentication. It froze when Windows
updates attempted to install it, so I downloaded the exe from the ms
site. However this freezes too while running the "Authentication
Verification". This also happens if I just click the Test button.
I tried both Windows Authentication and SQL authentication and same
happens on both.
Any ideas what could cause this problem?
Thanks,
zoro.
I've seen it during upgrade of a piece of ... PC ( 4GB HD, 128MB RAM, P
III ). It didn't really locked up though,
but it took good 10 minutes... could it be resource related in your case
too?

No - this pc is a P4 3 GHz, 1GB memory and about 6 GB free disk space.
I also let it run for about an hour before I used the Task Manager to
kill it.

Problem installing SQL Server 2005 SP2

The problem seems to be with the authentication. It froze when Windows
updates attempted to install it, so I downloaded the exe from the ms
site. However this freezes too while running the "Authentication
Verification". This also happens if I just click the Test button.
I tried both Windows Authentication and SQL authentication and same
happens on both.
Any ideas what could cause this problem?
Thanks,
zoro.I've seen it during upgrade of a piece of ... PC ( 4GB HD, 128MB RAM, P
III ). It didn't really locked up though,
but it took good 10 minutes... could it be resource related in your case
too?

No - this pc is a P4 3 GHz, 1GB memory and about 6 GB free disk space.
I also let it run for about an hour before I used the Task Manager to
kill it.

Problem installing SQL Server 2005 fails on MSXML6

For some reason when ever try to install SQL Server 2005 the install fails on MSXML6.

I get the following log file, can anyone make any sense of this.

I am having the same problem, Found that I could install the package seperatly in some cases but the SQL Install for Dev edition and Express edition (Through VS Setup) does not work and the full setup fails.

|||I was able to install the SQL Express Edition with the latest Service pack intergrated into the instal, but then installing the developer edition over the top I get the same errors. Dev edition will not install.|||

I have tried transfering the Files from the CD to the Hard Drive, and it does not work. I have even re downloaded the msxml package from MS Downloads and swapped it into the install to see if that works. But still nothing seems to work.

|||

Initially even the SQLExpress edition wouldnt install because of the same problem but when I downloaded MSXML6 by itself it seem to work. However SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition doesn't install.

|||

anyone get a solution to this problem, i;m having similar issues installing SQL Server 2005 standard. Keeps failing on MSXML6. I've tried uninstalling msxml6 and reinstalling from sql disk and a fresh download from ms site but always get "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation"

I run regmon from sysinternals - lots of reg activity, so hard to analyse, but I noticed that msiexec.exe was trying to get HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\TMAS_OEHook.dll key but getting "NOT FOUND" - this is part of trend pc cillin 12 - not sure if relevant.

|||

Looks like I fixed it.

I tried uninstalling msxml6 but it wouldn't saying "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

So I found this forum post

http://207.46.236.188/msdn/rss.aspx?postid=1977209&forumid=26&siteid=1

I downloaded http://www.ursoftware.com/download.php to uninstall msxml6

Looks like a great util as I've loads of old *** on my home pc.

I then run the msxml6 from sql server disk 1 and it worked

So then rerun sql server setup and all seems okay.

Well that's my friday evening wasted, I was intending to get some coding done but that will be saturday wasted as well now.

|||

I was quite excited when I got seen your post. However when I used the ursoftware to remove MSXML6 and tried to reinstall SQL server it failed in the same way.

Isnt there anyone from microsoft out there than can help us!!!!!

Why is this happening!!!

|||

Has anybody solved this problem? I have the same problem and dont know what to do. I have uninstalled this but when I try to rienstall SQL Server the problem already happens.

How is possible that Microsoft has not solved it?

Thanks

Hey,

I had the same issues installing MSXML6.0 with my SQL Server 2005 Express Edition as part of CRM Dynamics 3.0. Despite there being no policy (local or global) in place to enforce such a thing, I kept getting a failed installation of SQL Express due to an issue with MSXML6.0. Whenever I tried to install MSXML6.0 stand-alone, all I would receive is this blasted error message:

"The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation"

I tried several things over several hours including the following:

- registered then unregistered Windows installer package

- uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Installer package

- logging on as local admin to install

- creating a policy and enforcing the use of Windows Installer, as well as elevating the install rights of everyone.

- getting desperate I removed and reinstalled the .NET framework 1.1, 2 and 3 (this was the last thing I changed before having the issues)

- basically tried every recommendation I found through Google on every forum...TO NO AVAIL.

I used the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (available here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301) to remove the install configuration for MSXML6.0.

After that being done, everything works fine now and no words can express my relief...

I hope this helps someone else.

I am having the same problem, Found that I could install the package seperatly in some cases but the SQL Install for Dev edition and Express edition (Through VS Setup) does not work and the full setup fails.

|||I was able to install the SQL Express Edition with the latest Service pack intergrated into the instal, but then installing the developer edition over the top I get the same errors. Dev edition will not install.|||

I have tried transfering the Files from the CD to the Hard Drive, and it does not work. I have even re downloaded the msxml package from MS Downloads and swapped it into the install to see if that works. But still nothing seems to work.

|||

Initially even the SQLExpress edition wouldnt install because of the same problem but when I downloaded MSXML6 by itself it seem to work. However SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition doesn't install.

|||

anyone get a solution to this problem, i;m having similar issues installing SQL Server 2005 standard. Keeps failing on MSXML6. I've tried uninstalling msxml6 and reinstalling from sql disk and a fresh download from ms site but always get "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation"

I run regmon from sysinternals - lots of reg activity, so hard to analyse, but I noticed that msiexec.exe was trying to get HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\TMAS_OEHook.dll key but getting "NOT FOUND" - this is part of trend pc cillin 12 - not sure if relevant.

|||

Looks like I fixed it.

I tried uninstalling msxml6 but it wouldn't saying "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

So I found this forum post

http://207.46.236.188/msdn/rss.aspx?postid=1977209&forumid=26&siteid=1

I downloaded http://www.ursoftware.com/download.php to uninstall msxml6

Looks like a great util as I've loads of old *** on my home pc.

I then run the msxml6 from sql server disk 1 and it worked

So then rerun sql server setup and all seems okay.

Well that's my friday evening wasted, I was intending to get some coding done but that will be saturday wasted as well now.

|||

I was quite excited when I got seen your post. However when I used the ursoftware to remove MSXML6 and tried to reinstall SQL server it failed in the same way.

Isnt there anyone from microsoft out there than can help us!!!!!

Why is this happening!!!

|||

Has anybody solved this problem? I have the same problem and dont know what to do. I have uninstalled this but when I try to rienstall SQL Server the problem already happens.

How is possible that Microsoft has not solved it?

Thanks

Hey,

I had the same issues installing MSXML6.0 with my SQL Server 2005 Express Edition as part of CRM Dynamics 3.0. Despite there being no policy (local or global) in place to enforce such a thing, I kept getting a failed installation of SQL Express due to an issue with MSXML6.0. Whenever I tried to install MSXML6.0 stand-alone, all I would receive is this blasted error message:

"The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation"

I tried several things over several hours including the following:

- registered then unregistered Windows installer package

- uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Installer package

- logging on as local admin to install

- creating a policy and enforcing the use of Windows Installer, as well as elevating the install rights of everyone.

- getting desperate I removed and reinstalled the .NET framework 1.1, 2 and 3 (this was the last thing I changed before having the issues)

- basically tried every recommendation I found through Google on every forum...TO NO AVAIL.

I used the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (available here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301) to remove the install configuration for MSXML6.0.

After that being done, everything works fine now and no words can express my relief...

I hope this helps someone else.

Kris
