ClickOnce Private Installation Issue
May 12, 2007
I'm working on a VB.Net 2005 application that uses SQLCE as a backend database.
Following the instructions on how to do a private installation (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb219482.aspx) so that admin rights were not needed, I successfully got it working as a ClickOnce deployment. But today during a demo for a client, they ran into this error while installing the latest version from our publishing URL:
"Unable to install or run the application. Application requires that assembly System.Data.SQLServerCe version 9.0.42 .... must be installed in the Global Assembly Cache."
Basically it's saying the user isn't an admin so they can't install. This is the problem I went to great lengths to try to avoid, and is the reason we are using SQL CE in the first place: admin rights are not required to install our application's database. To our knowledge, SQL CE is the only Microsoft product that fits this scenario.
Now, I haven't changed anything in the publishing of the application to my knowledge, and when I check the project prerequisites, the SQLCE engine still isn't in there (as summarized at the above URL). Again following the instructions at the URL above for private installation, the required assemblies are still part of the project's files.
It must be something I did to cause this, but I have no memory of changing anything in regards to this part of the application. Our deadline is in 4 days and I cannot continue development until I get past this issue.
Where do I look to fix this problem? A little help would be greatly appreciated.

When having someone run my click once app that is using SQL CE they are getting this message.
The application requires that assembly System.Data.SqlServerCE Version 9.0.242.0 be installed in the global assembly cache (GAC) first
Can someone please let me know what I need to add to prerequisites?

Question about deploying a SQL compact database with Clickonce. Deploying the first time is straightforward and that works OK but I am not so sure about consequent releases, how do I deal with the that?
If I mark the file as dont deploy that will, of course, work fine for those that have installed the first release but not for thoses that havent.
What about if I make a change to the database, adding a table for example. How do I go about that? I obviously dont want to loose any of the existing data?
Thx and Happy Christmas to all

I'm working on an app in Visual Studio 2005 that needs to have installed locally SQL Express to handle its own data.
This app is in a strong upgrading process. I've been using clickonce to publish the app and let my users upgrade automatically (by the way this works amazing ...).
Yet many times changes to the DB are made. Is there a simple way to upgrade their local SQL Express DB like click once does with the app?
Thanks.

SQL Express CTP 2 provides a checkbox that will enrol the user installing the software as a database administrator. If the user fails to check this box, they run as an ordinary user, and hence are not allowed to perform functions such as create database.
In the process of deploying an application via ClickOnce, if SQL Express is not present it will be installed automatically. Also, in the process of deploying a ClickOnce application, we should usually expect to need to create a new database. Currently, if the user takes the default install of SQL Express they will not be a database administrator and will not be able to create the database. The installation will thus fail.
Is anything being done with SQL Express for ClickOnce applications deploying to Vista that will allow us to automatically enrol the user installing SQL Express as a database administrator?

Hi,
I have been using sql server everywhere for some time now in my desktop application. We use clickonce technology to deploy. I find that each time I update using clickonce my empty db file in the server gets updated with the application. Is it possible to do something such that the db file will not get updated with clickonce if it is present .
Thanks and regards

I posted this in the SQL Server Express forum as well...
My app deployed via ClickOnce. It ships with a database creation script which creates the database in the ClickOnce data directory. Upon uninstall, the entire data folder is deleted successfully. But if you then reinstall the app, SQL Server Express still thinks the database exists. Right now, to get a re-install to work, I have to go into Management Studio Express, click on the db (get an pop-up error as the physical db file is no longer there) and then click delete.
So my question is... what system proc should I execute in the db creation script before I run the CREATE DATABASE command?

I'm trying to compact a SQL CE database programmatically. I've copied the code from MSDN, and it's fine as far as it goes, but there's a problem tying to compact a database in a ClickOnce application because you don't know the path to the database. You have to use the "|DataDirectory|" in your connection string to signify the path to the database. But when I try the file operations to replace the old database with the compacted version, I get an error message that the path "|DataDirectory|" is not valid. Here's the code:
SqlCeEngine engine = new SqlCeEngine("Data Source = " + src + "; Password =" + txtPassword.Text);
try
{
engine.Compact("Data Source = " + dest + "; Password =" + txtPassword.Text);
ShowMsg("Compacting...", MsgType.NoError);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("There was an error completing the operation: " + ex.Message);
}
engine.Dispose();
File.Delete(src);
File.Move(dest, src);
(dest is = src + ".tmp", i.e., a path to a tmp file to hold the database while compacting).
How do I locate the files to copy if I can't use "|DataDirectory|"?

I've written a ClickOnce app that deploys a Sql Server Express data file (.mdf) and log file (.ldf) along with the other application files. SQL Express SP2 is a prerequisite for this app. After the applicaiton installs and starts up it copies these files to a specific folder and attaches them by calling the AttachDatabase() method of a Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server object.
This method works fine using Windows XP, however when I run it on Windows Vista I get the following exception:
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.FailedOperationException: Attach database failed for Server 'localhostSQLEXPRESS'. ---> Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ExecutionFailureException: An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Unable to open the physical file "C:WashMasterDatabasewasshmaster.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".
This exception occurs when I try to programmatically attach the database.
I've searched through the MSDN forums for a solution and I've only found two suggestions:
1.) Create all database connections using a User Instance.
2.) Create the database (using SQL) in the target folder, rather than copying it over from the deployment folder.
I don't like the idea of using User Instances because my entire data access layer is currently written using Ole and I would rather not rewrite it if I don't have to. I cannot find any way to use User Instances with Ole.
I also don't like the idea of creating the database using SQL because it is fairly large.
Here are my questions:
1.) Can User Instances be used with Ole?
2.) Can I somehow programmatically set the permissions of the copied data and log files so that SQL Express can access them without error?
3.) Is there a better method for doing what I'm trying to do or am I destined to have to either rewrite in data access layer so I can use User Instances or create my large database rather than copy it to the target directory?
Thanks.

I'm attempting to grant rights to Report Builder as deployed as part of my TFS install. My problem is that I have to add my users to the builtinadmin group in order for them to see the report builder button on the SQL Server Reporting homepage & then have rights to launch the ReportBuilder click once app. I obviously do not want make users admins on the box, but I've tried adding them to all of the other groups having to do with SQLServer to no avail. How can I grant users access to launch the Report Builder app?

I'm posting this in the ClickOnce forums as well...
My application doesn't include the .mdf and .ldf files, rather it creates the database the first time the application is run using a script that is included in the build. I want to create the database in the ClickOnce data directory. The problem I'm having is that SQL Server complains when I execute the CREATE DATABASE command as follows:
CREATE DATABASE [C:Documents and SettingsxxxxxLocal SettingsApps2.0DataPQCK6EXN.5KGAW630RPT.VGOifie..tion_014028c05b1d6ec6_0001.0002_0e86966f19503c89DataiFieldMobile.mdf] ON PRIMARY

END
Here's the error:

I have a sql express .mdf that is located in c:appdirectorymydb.mdf whilst developing an application. During development my connection string uses the above path to connect to the db. e.g.
"server = .sqlexpress; Integrated Security=True; database=C:appdirectorymydb.mdf"
I have published the app using click once in visual studio.net which places the db in : C:Documents and Settingsuser.nameLocal SettingsApps2.0DataJN1WL1DJ.X7B ... 08ed2810aab2abData
When i am executing the application following a clickonce install, what should I use in my connection string for the path to the db ? or where can I find the above path (e.g. in the registry) so that I can provide it to the connection string ?
Alternatively, can I specify where the DB is going to be installed (via click once). e.g. in my app directory under program files ?
I have tried searching what seems like everywhere for a solution to this problem and as a last resort thought it worth posting the question.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi
I am trying to setup service broker by following the article on http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/915852
The script ran without error, but when I try to send a message, I get the following in the trace Audit Broker Conversation and the message is not delivered.
The certificate's private key cannot be found
This message could not be delivered because the security context could not be retrieved.
Does anyone know what I did wrong, is it the Certficate in the Master Database or the Target Database
thanks

One of our clients controls data for about 150 companies. Each company has the same schema and is running SQL Server 7. The maintenence task is horrible. He would like to put all the data in one large database, but needs to control the access, so a user at one company selecting data in a table cannot have access to another company's data in the same table. I thought about using views for each company but that is 150 companies times 100 tables. With Oracle8i you can make virtual private databases. Can this be done in SQL Server 7? Thanks in advance

I set up Service broker (2008R2 -> 2012) across different servers and domains using certificates.I set up 2 queues (one for sending, one for receiving).I set up 6 services (3 for send, 3 for receive), all 3 sharing the same queue type. (srv_send_1, srv_send_2, srv_send_3), (srv_receive_1, srv_receive_2, srv_receive_3).I set up a route for each receiving service on the source, and for each sending service on the target.I set up a SB binding to the remote for each sender service type.I granted send rights to the sending services on the source server.
I then tested my first service, and it worked perfectly (still works).My second service however is failing with the error "The certificate's private key cannot be found".I am stumped, as all the setup code was a lot of copy/paste which I have checked, rechecked and even re-coded.Basically, here is what Im doing:
begin dialog @ConversationHandle
FROM Service srv_send_1
TO Service 'srv_receive_1'
ON CONTRACT myContract
WITH ENCRYPTION = OFF, LIFETIME = 60*60*24*7;
SEND ON CONVERSATION @conversationHandle
MESSAGE TYPE [my_msgtype] (@xml);
The above code works 100% with service1, but not with service2.Note that on profiler, the target server doesnt receive any communication. The error shows on the sender profiler.Also, The conversation shows up as CONVERSING in sys.conversation_endpoints and the entry exists in sys.transmission_queue.

Web server: win2003 server with iis6DB: sql server 2000I have 50+ remote offices running an Access 2002 app which connectsdirectly to sql server at a 3rd party hosting company, in part using anodbc connection on the workstation.We recently moved our database (and our web site) in-house. The newdatabase is inside the firewall but outside the dmz, where it livesalong side the company's most sensitive databases. IT's policy won'tallow us to connect directly from the internet. I'm trying to avoidbuying another copy of sql server for the Access app, which I one dayhope to drop anyway in favor ofThe web server uses port 1433 to talk to the database. I was wonderingif there is a simple way to route requests from the Access app throughthe web server.Thanks,Bob

I have a couple of questions on the nature of shared and private deployment of SQL Server CE 2005 on mobile devices:
1. I've read that with a shared install, SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition files are automatically updated and serviced by Microsoft Update. I take it that this only applies to installations on desktop computers -- if you're installing on mobile devices, there IS no automatic update. Right?
2. I've also read that in order to do a shared install of SQL Server 2005 CE, the user must have administrative rights. How does this apply to installs on a mobile device? There is no such thing as an administrative user on a mobile device. However, mobile devices CAN require different levels of privilege to install certain programs -- do you need something like an application signed for privileged execution (via a M2M certificate) in order to do a shared install of SQL Server 2005 CE on a mobile device?
Or is the shared versus private deployment only an issue when deploying to a desktop?

MSDN has examples of deploying SQLCE privately for C# and VB.NET, but that doesn't seem to translate to C++. A .NET application just loads the assembly it needs from the local directory, but from what I can tell I need to use the OLE DB driver to use SQL CE in C++. The problem is that the OLE DB driver is a COM object that (presumably) needs to be registered.
Has anyone successfully used SQLCE from C++ without registering any COM objects? I'm thinking the only way to do that would be to call DllGetObject() on the DLL and get the object manually, but I've never done this so I'd hate to waste the time if there's an easier way, or if this won't work.

We are looking to put column level encryption on a table. Great! Wonderful! Look in books online and see that you must give "control" perm to the Certificate for any user that needs to use the symmetric key.
Now my question. I have backed up the Certificate to file. What I have found playing around with the commands is it is possible to run the following command:
Alter Certificate MyCert
Remove private key
BOL says their is no "Restore Certificate" command and to just use "Create Certificate". I have tried this and I keep getting an error saying the certificate already exist in the database.
What have I missed? How can I restore this certificate without restoring the ENTIRE database? Is there a permission set that can be applied to the Certificate to stop thsi kind of command from being run while still having the symmetric key usable? Any help would be of great use!
Thanks,
*note* this is using the MasterKey->Cert->SymmetricKey

Is there any harm in defining a SqlConnection as a private class variable for a web page?Private SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnectection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyString"].ConectionString);The connection is only opened in certain event handlers, and is closed right after use. It was always my understanding that creating the connection is not a big deal but opening the connection is. Is that correct?

Here is what I am trying to do. I want to create a private / public key pair (either a certificate or asymmetric key) and be able to give the public key to my business contacts. They would then use the public key to encrypt data to be sent to me and then I could import that data into my SQL 2005 database and use the private key to decrypt it.
It seems to me that this should be a pretty simple process, but it is not. The reason I want to do this is that the data they send to me on a regular basis is sensitive. Currently we use PGP, but then I have to decrypt the data and then import it and then reencrypt it. It would greatly simplify my process if I could just import the data and use it.
So how can I do this. Most of the posts I read say that asymmetric keys are avaiable in SQL2005 but not recommended for use. I don't want my business contacts to be able to decrypt any of my data (if they got access to the database) just encrypt.
Any recommendations???
Thanks!

Folks- By reading all the results I got from doing a search on "private install" in this forum, I thought this must be as easy as:
1. Copying the seven DLL's comprising the engine to my application's install dir on the deployment machine. If my app is installed at C:MyApp then CE dll's would go into C:MyApp, thats where my WinMain'd exe is residing.
2. RegSvr32 on sqlceca35.dll, sqlceoledb35.dll
Since I'm using native C++/OLE DB, I don't think I'd need to care about System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
However my app which is basically the NorthWnd sample is failing on CoCreateInstance(CLSID_SQLSERVERCE_3_0............)
Which means oledb provider not registered on the machine? am I correct?
I watched Steve Lasker's video, even though the private install covers managed code, but I thought I should be doing something very similar, apparently I'm missing something.
I'll appreciate any help.
P.S., The 7 dll's above I mentioned are:
sqlceca35.dll
sqlcecompact35.dll
sqlceer35EN.dll
sqlceme35.dll
sqlceoledb35.dll
sqlceqp35.dll
sqlcese35.dll

Hi Guys, I've got a bit stuck trying to decide on a table structure for a private message like part of a site I'm building (I'm using SqlServer 2000, not that it really matters).at first I was going to use a single table with the following schema: MessageId intReplyToMessageId int (nullable)FromUserId uniqueidentifier (I'm using .net membership)ToUserId uniqueidentifier IsRead bitIsDeleted bitSubject nchar(50)Body nvarchar(1000) DateCreated datetimeDateUpdated datetimeCreatedBy uniqueidentifierModifiedBy uniqueidentifier What strikes me here is that I'm using alot of guids (which are huge) and if I'm going to be threading the messages (which I am) there's no easy way to return an ordered list of messages that are replies to each other. So then I thought about introducting a messageThreads table, but I can't think of anything to store there apart from a threadid (which seems to defeat the purpose)Any ideas? I can clarify more if necessary. Thanks

SQL 2005 Standard x64 Service Pack 2
Windows 2003 R2 X64 service pack 2
The principle, partner and witnesss have two NICs each (NIC1 and NIC2). I want them to communicate in NIC2 for sending logs and establishing quorum. This will happen in their own private network (say 192.168.1.0/24). The NIC1 in each server will be available for client communication. The domain and clients are in the network (say 10.1.1.0/24).
I am using the same domain account as SQL server service account in all three servers.
How can I do this?

I've just bought a Virtual Private Server Account because I want to host a number of different ASP.NET sites, each backed by their own SQL database. I've downloaded SQLEXPRE.EXE and SQLServer2005_SSMEE-x64.msi to the server and installed the database engine and Management Studio Express on the VPS.
My problem is that I cannot access the SQLEXPRESS on my server from my local machine. The Management Studio Express cannot get logged in. I've used "Surface Area Configuration Manager" to allow "Local and remote connections" using TCP/IP only. I've used SQL Server Configuration Manager" to enable the TCP/IP protocol. After making these changes I've stopped and started the SQL server - and even rebooted the machine. I've created a login "Remote User" for this access. I've added sqlservr.exe as an exception to the firewall.
What else do I need to do? Is there a simpleton's guide to completing this task?

I am trying to create an assembly object when a report is initialized and I am getting the error:
[rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the textbox 'textbox2' contains an error: [BC30390] 'ReportExprHostImpl.CustomCodeProxy.X' is not accessible in this context because it is 'Private'
In the Code tab, I have:
Dim X As namespace.classname
Protected Overrides Sub OnInit()
X = new namespace.classname()
End Sub
In my color field, I have "=code.X.color"
If I replace the color field with "=namespace.classname.color" and have color be a shared property, then it works. However, I ultimately need the color to be based on individual user settings, so I cannot use the shared property approach.
Any ideas on how to get around this "because it is private" error?
FYI, I am trying to replicate the concept of themes using report formatting information pulled from a database.
