Cannot Completely Install/remove SQL Server Express
Jan 20, 2007
I cannot use, remove, or reinstall Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Although Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files appear in ControlPanel-ARP, when I attempt to remove Microsoft SQL Server 2005, the workstation component remains. If I try to download and reinstall Microsoft SQL Server Express from the Microsoft website, the download does not install completely as described below.
My current situation is much better than the previous incompatibility or configuration problems I had been experiencing between Microsoft Office Small Buisness Accounting 2006, Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, Outlook Business Contact Manager, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (express edition installed in conjunction with Visual Basic 2005 express), and Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (installed in conjunction with Small Business Accounting 2006). The problems and error messages previously included: 1) A consistent bootup error (Net service configuration error...The specified service does not exist as an installed service); 2) The inability of Visual Basic to connect to an instance of SQL server (An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server...); 3) a SQL server configuration manager error: Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL Server 2005 servers with SQL server configuration manager. Invalid namespace [0x8004100e]; and 4) SQL server management studio express error: Cannot connect to <computername>SQLEXPRESS... An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1).
These problems have been partially solved by: 1) completely removing Small Business Accounting 2006, Outlook Business Contact Manager Update, and MSDE (which appear to be codependent); and 2) removing and reinstalling Visual Basic 2005. However SQL Server still cannot be completely removed or reinstalled and therefore Visual Basic cannot connect to SQL datafiles.
When I most recently tried to remove SQL server 2005 using ARP, the installer reported that only the workstation component remains (Version: 9.00.1399.06 Edition: Express Edition Patch level: 9.00.1399.06), but is not removed by the ARP process. When I most recently tried to install SQL server 2005, the Setup Support Files install correctly, the System Configuration Check passes, but setup fails for MSXML6, SQL Server Database Services, and WorkStation components Books Online (detail log SQLSetup0068 file). According to Add/Remove programs, the following applications are installed:
Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition ENU
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client
Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English)
Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Various MSXML versions
Any help in un/reinstalling or configuring Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for use with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition would be dearly appreciated. Thanks.
I need help for completely removing sql server 2005 from my computer. I have tried unintalling it through Add/Remove programs,but when i try to reinstall it this message appears : "Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this operating system. For details, see 'Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005' in Microsoft SQL Server Books Online." I think that there is something that is not completely removed from the first installation.
I installed sql2ksp3 from the CD I received in my ASP.net book. The installation went fine and then I went to the DOS prompt and did the setup SAPWD and it ran. I restarted my computer and opened ASP Matrix and went to the Data tab and proceed to connect to the server. It gave me an error message it couldn't connect. So I uninstalled MSDE and made sure the sql2ksp3 folder was gone. So I went ahead and installed the sql2ksp3 from the CD again and then went to DOS to do the setup. It ran through the setup until the very end, saying it couldn't setup the server. I have tried it several times and it always stops around 11 seconds. I have tried to install the download from microsoft instead the CD and that didn't work also. So at this point I am stuck. PLEASE HELP!

Hello Win XP Pro, SP3 ,.Net 1.1,2.0,3.5, ASP.Net 2.0.
I made the mistake of trying to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services as a requirement to install dashCommerce. That was a big mistake. It never installed and it screwed up my current install of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
I have been trying for two days now to get my SQL Server 2005 Express Edition back to normal. I can't run and test my programs in VS2005 that use SQL anymore and it's keeping me from getting my work done.
I tried uninstalling everything SQL using Add Remove Programs. Deleted all temp, SQL and unneeded files. Ran defrag. Restarted my computer. I did all that three times and still am unable to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
On the existing components screen, i get the message "The following components that you chose to install are already installed on the machine. To view a report of available options and alternatives click on details."
It won't allow me to check any options and when i click next, it gives the error "None of the selected features can be installed or upgraded. Setup cannot proceed since no effective change is being made to the machine. To continue, click Back and then select features to install. To exit SQL Server Setup, click Cancel"
All i can do is cancel out of it.
Any help from anybody to figure out why i can't install SQL Express again would be gratefully appreciated.
This problem is keeping me from doing my work, it's frustrating. Is there a way to totally clean my machine of any SQL so i can get back to doing my job?
Downloading and installing VS 2008 Express also created a Miscrosoft SQL Server folder. How do I install the SQL Server 2005 Express?The following is what I found from the HELP menu bar of the VS 2008 Express. Where can I find the sqlexpr.exe? TIA,Jeffrey
To install SQL Server Express To begin installation, double-click sqlexpr.exe. Note: SQL Server Express is available as a self-extracting executable file (sqlexpr.exe) from both the Visual Studio 2005 CD and the SQL Server Express Web site. SQLEXPR.EXE installs on x86-based computers and to the 32-bit subsystem (WOW64). For more information, see Hardware and Software Requirements (SQL Server Express)
I had some issues on my server and had to uninstall .Net Framework 2.0, SQL Server 2005 Express, and SQL Express Toolkit. I installed SQL Server 2005 Express and it seemed to be ok.
Then my problems all started when I tried to install SQL Express Toolkit because I needed to install DTS Wizard again, and it errors out and wouldn't let me install it. So I uninstalled everything that's listed above again.
I then tried to install SQL Server 2005 Express again, and on the second from last screen, while its listing all the components and configuring them, I get the following error as it's configuring the last component... which was the SQL Server Database Services.
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup ----------------------------------------------------------- The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."
I tried to re-install the SQL Server Express another 7 times wth no luck.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

I installed VS 2008 Express with an option to download SQL Server 2005 Express. I noticed there is a '90' folder under my Microsoft SQL Server folder. I assumed this the folder for SQL Server 2005 Express. How do I set up my SQL Server2005 Express, so that I can use some sample databases for my VS 2008 Express? Any difference for SQL Server 2005 Express between VS 2008 Expressdownload and SQL Server 2005 Express download? TIA,Jeffrey
I am having trouble installing SQL Server 2005 Express. I was told to uninstall and reinstall clean but now SQL Server does NOT show in the Add/Remove Program list but when I try to install, my system says I already have SQL Server installed. I get error messages every time. Any ideas???
I downloaded AdventureWorksDB.msi Microsoft and struggled to install it in my SQL Server Management Studio Express 8 months ago. I forgot the AdventureWorks examples and other stuff were in my C: drive. Recently, I downloaded a new AdventureWork.msi and executed it to install without removing the old stuff from the "Add and Remove" of Control Panel. Now my AdventureWorks database is screwed-up in my termical PC that is linked with Microsoft NT 4 LAN System!!! Please kindly help and tell me how I can revome the scewed-up AdventureWorksDB in my terminal PC.
I have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit installed but there is something from with the installation since every time that I try and create a Report Server Project It gives me error
Could not load file or assembly "Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer, Version 9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system cannopt find the file spesified.
How can I reinstall it or repair the installation so it will work. I have uninstalled every SQL2000 component in Add Remove Programs and reinstalled them. The problem is however that I cannot see an entry for "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit" in the Add Remove programs in Windows XP Profesional.
Can someone please help me. Maybe tell me where the uninstall file is located on disk??
it's been a while since i installed sql2005, but doesn't visual studio get installed at the same time? all the servers that i installed sql2005 on have visual studio on them too. the sysadmins think having VS on the servers is a security risk and want to remove it. if we remove VS from the servers, will that impact SQL Server 2005?
I'm using the disk that came with my Visual Web Developer for Dummies book. It installed on my XP Home machine, but when installing on my XP Pro machine, the fourth step, SQL Server Express, it fails. I cleaned up my hard drive (about ten gigs of free space), I followed the steps here http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/support/readme/default.aspx to uninstall everything dot net related. Rebooted, checked my control panel, etc. Tried to install. It just fails. No error message.Can anyone give me an idea of where to start?Thanks
i tried hard to install sql server 2005 express today but it always failed.
system: XP german / SP 3
failure: it just says that the databaseservices could not be installed and the details are in the log. if i check the log it does not contain anything about the database services. it only says that the native client could not be installed (which is okay because i seem to have a newer one) .. here is the log:

Hi, I installed VB express, can't recall if SQL Server Express was installed with VB or not at the same time, but I do have SQL Express installed. All I see is Microsoft SQL Server 2005 --> Configuration tools and --> Documentation and Tutorials. I must be missing something so I can create, view, alter and delete tables. The install gave no signs of installation problems. Any ideas what went wrong?
My system had a beta version of Visual Studio 2005 Express on it which I uninstalled. Apparently not correctly, as I can not install SQL Server 2005 Express. I have tried to removal procedures which either give me an error message or I cannot find the items in the Add/Remove program list that are requested. That is, it looks like the system should accept SQL Server 2005 Express, but it does not.
I have successfully installed Visual C++ 2005 Express. I have no clue as to what to do next and there is no documentation on what to do. I have looked at the various postings here, tried several of them, to no avail.
When I search the registry there are some 70 entries that have the string €œSQLEXPRESS€? in the entry. I am unsure if these are related to my previous beta install or related to the system (a475c HP Pavilion) needs. I am reluctant to start removing those entries.
So now what do I do? Is this really that difficult? And what if I decided to buy Visual Studio 2006, whenever it may be introduced? Will I not be able to install it?
Here is the log file that was generated yesterday, my latest attempt.

I want to install SQL Server 2005 Express Adv. I saw that you had to un-install the beta version prior. So I did. When I go to install SQL Server 2005 Express Adv, I get a message saying that SQL Server detected the previous Beta version, goto add/remove programs blah...blah...blah. Nothing was listed in a/r programs. I ran an uninstall microsoft had on their web site, and I got a message saying nothing was deteceted. I deleted all folders related.
Somehow when I initially ran the unistall, not all components were removed. I am baffled. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I've been trying all day to install SQL Server Express edition on my development machine, I 've uninstalled other Express Editions that I have previously installed, at least none show in add/remove programs. When i try to run the setup program i get the message that i have incompatible programs still installed. I don't know what they would be. None are listed in the program list as I have said. I tried to run the uninstallbeta program on the SQL Server Express page, but I keep getting an error that the "framedyn.dll" cannot be found, reinstalling the application may help! lol !
I have tried to run an app that requires sql server. It installs sql server express SP2 as part of its install package, but it doesn't work for some reason (works for other people I know).
This was the message I got:
"An error has occuredwhile establishing a connection to the server.When connecting to SQL Server 2005 this failure may be caused by teh fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections (Provider SQl Network interfaces, Error 26, error locating server /instance specified"
The owner of the original software suggested I try and download it from microsoft which I did, from here :
It all appeared fine, the download downloaded and the install started as it should. The system config check is all ticks, but towards the end there is a set up progress page which has the following items:
Product
SQL setup support files shows setup completed
SQL Native Client
When it gets to this bit it displays a pop up that says An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'sqlncli.msi'
This has happened on a couple of occasions. Bearing in mind that I think this file is in the setup that I downloaded from microsoft I am at a loss.
After this it tries to finish the other items on the set up progress page which are
SQL VSS Writer SQL Server Database Services Workstation components
SQL VSS Writer shows as set up correctly, the others fail.
The next button highlights , then the installation finishes, but SQL Server is not properly installed.
Hello, I have installed Enterprise edition. I used Client Network Utility to create a server. I went into Enterprise manager and tried to register this server I created and I got the following error: Specified SQL Server not found
Hi,When i try to install Sql server 2005 Express i get the following error: http://kirkov.dk/img/sql_error.jpgAnyone know a solution for this problem? Thanks.
I am attempting to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. After repeated tries, I have yet to succeed. I have already done or confirmed the following:
- .NET framework 2.0 is installed. - All previously existing SQL components have been uninstalled using the Install Clean-up Tool. - All previously existing registry entries for SQL Express have been removed. - My virus scanner (Norton 2006) has been disabled.
Taking these steps enabled me to get to the point in the install where the installer attempts to start the SQL service. At this point, I receive the error:

I also noticed that the service exe does not seem to be present in the Program FilesMicrosoft SQl Server folder or any of it's subfolders.

I'm trying to install sql server 2005 and to be honest, I've had an absolute gutful.
I All i want to do is use it to develop my asp.net applications but everytime i set a profile variable or access the "security" tab in my asp.net web site administration tool, I get sql errors.
I've googled the *** out of my issue and have come to no helpful conclusion. I've been through the surface configuration to 'allow remote connections' even though i'm ON THE LOCAL MACHINE and it still errors and tells me its not accepting remote connections.
I've formatted windows to make sure, and tried again- same error, not to mention the frustration of having to manually extract the contents of the .exe file that i downloaded (From no other then microsoft.com).
will somebody please shed some light on this piece of junk program so i can do my development without tearing my hair out.
