Is it possible to install a 64 bit SQL Server 2005 silently?. I am wondering what are the command options that are needed to do a quiet Install of Enterprise Edition of SQL Server 2005 (x64) on a x64 OS.
I am writing an application that requires SQL Express to be installed alongside.
So I try to do the following - Before installing my application, I pop-up a link which leads to "SQLEXPR.exe ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MSSQLServer <other parameters> /qb " . But this displays only a basic GUI, which means that the pre-requisite checks for SQL express are not displayed to the user. So if MDAC version 2.8 is not present on the system the installation of SQLexpress fails without any error messages (except in the log files). ( This is not a problem with all pre-requisites :: If .NET is not present on the system, the failure is much more elegant. There is a nice GUI pop-up which requests the user to install .NET 2.0 before installing SQL express.)
On the other hand, If I remove the "/qb" switch, I can get the pre-requisites GUI to display and the end-user can figure out the cause of failure easily enough. But this means that the optional parameters I use, for example the instancename or the authentication mode will not be used during the install
Is there a good commandline switch I can use so that 1) The pre-requisites check screen is displayed 2) All the commandline options are used for installation.
My ASP.Net application needs AJAX and SQL Server to be installed on the server.
How can I make AJAX and SQL Server installation as a part of my application installation?
Is it possible to automate the install of SQL Server? So user dont need to write in anything, all the answers will be prewritten.
I heard, using Microsoft Setup manager we can generate Setup.iss files to automate the silent install of SQL Server. But I cant find information about how to implement and where can I find this tool.
My main motive is to save my client from installation questions of SQL Server.
One version of my application uses SQL Server 2005 Express and another one uses Standard version.
Hi.. i am new to vbscripting.i need to create the vbscript for ( .netframework2.0,MDAC2.7,XML4.0,VC++2005,windowsinstaller3.0,OWC10) with silent installation via VBscript.before that i need to check the machine have my pre-requisites or not,which machine does not have my pre-requisites through script i have to install. Kindly provide any solution for this.you can reach me at senthil...@tcs.com. thanks, N.senthil
I'm trying to create a silent installation which will create a new instance of the express version on my clients machine, the problem is that i can't set the service account to local service
i.e AGTACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE"
if im running the normal setup (GUI) i can set this property easly, but from the command line all i get is "NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SYSTEM" which is the default i think
I don't know if I missing something essencial or if I did it in a wrong way, but when I ran the installation from the command line, I get, after a while, a minimized window with "ERROR REPORTING" as title that I can't restore.
I could install it manually without problems (as a test). I've made ISS files for the SQL 2000 Server Developer Edition, but I couldn't for reporting services. Is this possible? Is there an error in my template.ini?
I 'm trying to install Sql Server 2005 Express Edition using c# 2.0 by starting a process and launching setup. I also want to informed about installation progress.

I have no problem about silent - unattended install but how can i informed about running installation progress ? and send these info to end user 's form ?
I want to build a silent setup/installation of MS-SQL-Server-Express 2005 for installation on customers computers. I want to integrate it in my own setup/installation routine of my application. How can I do that? Where can I get Infos or tutorials? Perhaps here ?
Cool place! Has anyone deployed SQL Express silently using one click and an attached a smart client DB from within the app ... would love to see some of the best practices or horror stories! Just kidding... :) I'm about to deploy a smart client using SQL Express and could use some tips from someone who has been there.
I try to install SQL Server 2000 SP3 on my Windows XP server.
During the installation, the setup process inform me database services can't be install on my machine. I can only install client tools.
It seems to success, but when I try to connect register a new database in the Enterprise Manager tool, connection to my server databases always fail with error: "waiting time expire"
If I try to connect to the same database with the Querty Analyzer it works.
How can I solve this problem ? His there a patch ?

I'm sort of newbie in sql server, so don't mind for confusion.
I installed SQL Server 2005 Express edition with Advanced Services. During Setup I have choosen to use Windows authentication for connecting to my server, cause I read it can be removed in SQL Server Management Studio (right-click on server, Properties, Security, SQL Authentication).
Few days ago I got some mdf database to attach to my server, but in readme file in the same folder, there was a message to create new user called 'Bob' (password 'msdn') with dbo permission to that database (with SQL Authentication mode access to server). I did so, created user, went to Server Properties, changed mode for Authentication), disconnect from server, and closed Management Studio. When I opened it again I clicked on SQL Authentication to connect, typed Bob as user name, msdn as password, and I got a message which was something about that it is not possible to connect with SQL Server Authentication mode, although I made a difference in Properties.
Should I install SQL Server with the new instance and with SQL Authentication mode?
I am having trouble installing SQL 7.0 beta 3 on my home PC running Windows 98. The setup process fails in the last stage when it attempts to start the server. The one thing missing on my PC is it still doesn`t have any TCP/IP address; does it matter? I have also noticed that when I run the setup, it doesn`t recognize Named pipe protocol. Have anybody had similar problem?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. -Manoj
I am trying to access the SQL server using windows authentication but its not working. But others can work on their windows authentication for the same server. Anything needs to be done from my end. Please explain.
Running Server 2003, had to do a re-install from CD (wrote over existing Windows install). Now SQL won't run. I also lost all program shortcuts, since the new install created new user settings for me.
When attempting to run any SQL task, such as the Management Studio, the following appears: "The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem."
What options do I have to re-register the applications into Windows? Is my only hope to re-install from the SQL CD? Have I lost all of my SQL settings (users, etc.) or is there hope that I can regain it after re-installing SQL? My data files are on separate partitions, and I have a backup from the previous night, if that helps. Conceivably I could do a full restore of Windows from the backup, but that would probably not work properly.
I have a very strange problem when I try to install SQL Express 2014 on 1 PC on my network.
The setup is blocking on the step "rules of functionnality" (I hope it is the good translation ...).
I ha ve a message that indicates that there is a problem the following checking : "It exists a Internet connection with the download center for Microsoft Framework 4.0". At the beginning I had Framework 3.5 and 4.5 installed on the PC.
When I tried to install manually Framework 4.0 I had a message that indicated that the setup was not possible because there was a Superior version. So I uninstall v4.5 and install v4.0 normally.
I run again SQL 2014 Express setup but I have always the same error. I take a look on Internet to look for the same problem but I found nothing.
What are the guidelines for installing the SQL Software? Is it bottleneck if both Windows and SQL software are installed on the same drive ( I have all the database .mdfs and and .ldfs on a seperate RAID array)?
i have a windows 2003 server up and running and a client workstation connected via a crossoever cable. they both can ping each other.
my next step, i would like to replicate a "real world" scenario where i have the database engine and the sample databases on the server and i would like to be able to write to and from the cleint to main database which is going to be on the server.
so my question is, do i need a full install on both machines?
I've developed an application that uses SQL server (in particular localdb), and, I have just pushed it out to the client.
The client runs Windows 8.1 x64, but, when I try to install either x86 or x64 version of SQL LocalDB direct from Microsoft, I keep getting this error:
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express LocalDB
Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system. For information on supported configurations, see the product documentation.
I am using LocalDB on my Windows 8.1 dev machine.... .Net framework 3.5 and 4 are both installed already.
When logged onto a server and connecting using windows authentication (either by server name or localhost) I am getting in fine, but when I connect using the IP I get the following error.
I can log in using SQL Server authentication with the IP.

Due to a SQL 2014 cluster installation failure related to security while setting up the primary node, I had to remove the node and any related installation programs from the node and redo the installation again. However I am unable to use the machine name as the SQL network name during the instance configuration, I get the following:
Microsoft.SqlServer.Chainer.Infrastructure.InputSettingValidationException: The SQL Server failover cluster instance name "MachineName" already exists as a server on the network. Specify a different failover cluster instance name.I am still getting the same name since the node name "MachineName" is listed under the cluster name. I have used machine name as SQL network name without an issue. I do not have any existing SQL machine name in network using same machinename which I want to use for this installation.
Hi, i tried to install SQL Server 2000 Developer and MSDE the whole day on my Windows XP SP2. MDAC is the latest, that come with WinXP SP2 (2.81). The installation fails at the end after 100% complete.
It says: Translated: "the setup programm starts the server and installs the configuration you chose..." ("das setup-programm startet den server und installiert die von ihnen gewählte konfiguration...")
then it takes some time and the failure appears, saying: "the setup programm could not configure the server. you can find more information in the server-failure-log files and in "C:windowssqlstp.log."
I have a Windows 2003 Enterprise x64 edition cluster setup and functioning normally. Now, I am trying to get SQL Server 2000 installed as a failover cluster but am having some difficulty. When installing, I get the message '[sqsrvres] ODBC sqldriverconnect failed' in the event log. The message happens when the installer is trying to bring the SQL Server Service resource online.
I am able to ping the name of the instance successfully. I am able to manually start the 'MSSQL$InstanceName' service. I have turned off the firewall on both machines, but this did not help. I have the DTC Service setup as a resource in the same cluster group.
I also read http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;815431 which seemed promising, but did not reolve the problem.
