Is there a way to extract (and copy to a network drive) the necessary files from the SQL Server 2000 CD for the purpose of a creating a client install directory? I would like to invoke the Setup from the network. I do not want to place the whole CD on the network. I do not necessarily want to have to re-key the serial number (product key) every time a client install takes place.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to remember how to install the SQL 2000 client tools onto a SQL 2005 server. There are a couple of bizarre steps that will allow this to happen, but I can't for the life of me remember what comes after the unicycle down the stairs with the umbrella stand of machetes.
Can anybody remember the magic, or do I resort to using VPC to kludge the install until I can find my clay tablets again?

I am trying to create several Excel sheets using SQL 2000 views like so:
Select * INTO [Excel 8.0;Database="C:spreadSheetsaNew.xls"] FROM [aView].
When I try and execute this in my app I get the following - Specified owner
name 'Excel 8.0;Database=c:spreadSheetsaNew.xls' either does not exist or
you do not have permission to use it.
If I use the above Select statement with an OLEDB connection it works.
I am using Imports System.Data.SqlClient, instantiating a new SQlConnection
object, opening the connection, etc..

I have compile my application into a Smart Device CAB and also including SQLCE CAB file for SQL.
I have users who choose to install SQLCE into Storage Cards instead and causes the application not to function, when asked which destination to install.
I've done some search and found out about "wceload.exe /noaskdest" but I'm using NSIS to compile into a single .exe file, and its calling "CEAppMgr.exe"
How can I force SQLCE to install into its default directory without asking user?
Thanks!

I went ahead and installed RS even though it was clear Microsoft install was confused (re: preivous post). Now I get to experience the thrill of configuration hell.
Report Server Virtual Directory had a green check. Unfortunately the Name block says <Not Set>. When I try to create a New... default directory I get the error message: "The virtual directory could not be created. The previously set virtual directory will still be used."
Does anyone know where the <Not Set> virtual directory is stored on the computer?

I am trying to install the SQL Server 6.5 client utilities and constantly get the infamous

We regularly deploy our product to client's sites and install a named instance of SQL Server 2005 and Reporting Services on their Windows Server. We use the instance name "lgs" during SQL setup and it automatically ensures we have a http://server/Reports$lgs and http://server/ReportServer$lgs to work with.
A recent deployment had some trouble with their OS and we have needed to reinstall the Reporting Services component of SQL. After reinstalling, the virtual directories for Reports$lgs and ReportServer$lgs are gone. I have used the Reporting Services Configuration tool to create new virtual directories but when I enter Reports$lgs or ReportServer$lgs as the names I get an error. The error says that the virtual directories cannot
be created due to illegal characters in the names.
How can I create the same virtual dirs that would have normally been created during initial installation?
Thanks,

Hi!
I'm having a bit of a problem implementing a File System Task to Create a directory and would appreciate some help if possible.
I want to create a date directory so I can move files to once they are imported successfully. The date portion for the directory comes from the import file whose name is variable and in the format of PerfLog_<yyyymmdd>.aud. So, in essence, if I am processing a file named Perflog_20060913.aud, when I am done processing it I want to create a directory c:myprog20060913 and move my processed file there.
Can anyone help me? Please.

I'm trying to do an unattended install of the client components for SLQ2005. I have read the document on doing a install from the command prompt but when I use the "ADDLOCAL" switches I get some components that I don't require. For example, I am using the following command to run the setup - "start /wait <path>setup.exe ADDLOCAL=Client_Components,SQL_Tools90,Connectivity". When I look at the Add/Remove Programs list I can see that it has installed "MSXML 6.0 Parser", "SQL 2005 Backward Compatibilty" and "Office 2003 Web Components". The only components I require are the "SQL Support Files", "SQL Server Native Client" and " CLient Tools". If I run "start /wait <path>setup.exe REMOVE=SQLXML,TOOLS_BC_DEP" it will remove "Office 2003 Web Components" and "SQL 2005 Backward Compatibilty" but not the "MSXML 6.0 Parser". How can I get rid of this?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I've just set up a new installation of SQL 7 in a WinNT4/sp5 machine so I can learn more about this stuff and I'm trying to configure a Win98 client. From the Win98 client all looks well on the surface. Interestingly when I click on the server from within the Win98 MMC/Enterprise Manager it attempts to establish a dial-up connection to my ISP. The only network protocol I have running is TCP/IP.
Also, I can do what ever I want from within Enterprise Manager and SQL Analyzer but if I attempt to execute a script using the OSQL utility at a dos prompt as follows
osql /Usa /P /i "c:sqlimplexercisech02myscript2.sql"
I get the following error
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]General network error.
Check your network documentation.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]ConnectionOpen (connect()).
Any clues as to what I need to do to straighten this out? I have a DSN for the server which tests successfully using TCP/IP on the default port 1433.
I can't get the OLAP Manager to install on my client PC running Windows95. It does install on the server running NT4.0.
I want to remotely administer the OLAP, just like I do with the Enterprise Manager on the client. Anyone have any suggestions?
Do you have to have NT on the client?

I'm working on a C# 2008 project, when i add a CE Database to it, then publish the app, the installer wants to download and install the entire SQL Server Express product on the client machines. My understanding is that I should be able to embed this database right into the app, but it defeats the purpose to have the installer download and install the entire express product (the actual project is 1 meg).
Is this expected behavior? or am I doing something wrong?
