How To Start The MMSE In Silent Mode?
Mar 17, 2007
Hi all!
I'm making a custom unattended installation of SQL Server 2005 Express. I'm using WPI (Windows Post-Install) installing first Framework 2.0, then SQL 2005 Express and then I want tu ejecute some SQL sentences using SQLCMD. The problem is, that if I don´t start at least one time the Managament Studion Express, those sentences are not ejecuted.But, Why?
The first time you run the MMSE, you get a horizontal progress bar, telling you that MMSE is preparing for firt run.
Is there any way to automate this?
P.S. I'm starting the MSSQL service automatically using a template.ini.
Thank in advance,
RSP

Can someone please help me with this problem....
I am having problems entering info into my database. I haven't had any problems so far. But all of a sudden when I try to add info to some of my columns I get the error message:
"Transaction cannot start while in firehose mode."
My column type is nvarchar. I thought I might have the length set to low, but I set the length as high as 400 and can't fit the same length of entries as some of my 200 length columns.
And also there are no constraints or foreign key values related to the column. I even created a new column with nvarchar at 400 length just to test it and same error. I'm stumped...
Thank you whomever knows this problem....

Hello everyone,
In SQL Server Enterprise Messenger I've been getting the following error in a pop up window:
"Transaction Cannot Start in Firehose Mode"
Besides this error that is featured in the Microsoft KB
BUG #: 228790 at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;286199
Is there any other reason why someone could open a table (that only has around 200 rows in it) and get this error message upon trying to update a row?

I have an ASP.NET project that uses a ASPNETDB.MDF file. This file is attached with a SQL Server Express everytime when I run the application, include debuging session. There are two debugging modes under Visual Studio 2005, through WebDev.WebServer or IIS. Both ways worked fine with this project until yesterday. Right now, whenever I try to debug it with WebDev.WebServer, it will show me an error:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
But if I debug it with IIS it works fine. Also, using the same machine and same installation of Visual Studio 2005 I can debug another project with WebDev.WebServer, that also uses a .mdf file (a different file). So, seems to me I jsut have problem with one mode and one project. The only thing that I did yesterday that I think may be relevant was that I reinstalled Visual Studio 2005 SP1 to fix another issue. Anyone has an idea? Thanks!

We have reports in SharePoint integrated mode which are really slow when compared to native mode. I have been asked to research and give info on what exactly causes the delays.
Any articles which give me information as to what happens when a report is run from SharePoint server and where does it log.

Hello,everyone!!
There is a query which when executed in the grid mode(ctrl+d) takes approx 0.02 seconds(about 21,000
rows) But when I execute in the text mode, it takes about 0.40 seconds!!
Why is this difference?
Also, when the records from this table are read from a VB application, they are equally slow (as in the text mode!)
Why is it so slow on the text mode & relatively faster in the grid mode?
Has anyone got any idea on ‘Firehose’ style cursor ?(which may speed up access of data in the VB application)
Rgds,
Adie

Hi,
Currently, our Report Builder is running on Local Intranet mode. I'm investigating what the security implications are in changing it to Internet mode. However, I've not been able to find any documentation on this.
Does anyone know of any documentation that addresses this issue or have experience that they can share with changing Report Builder security zone from Intranet mode to Internet mode?
Thanks very much.

Hi folks,
I have a SQL 2005 OTC. CTP version running on Windows 2003 server.
I would like to find out how the SQL server option changed to Windows Authentication mode from Mixed mode over the weekend. From the SQL log, I don't see when it changed. I would like to see Date/Time and client IP. If I can see User ID (windows) that would be great. Where I can find these info in SQL server?
Thank you in advance...

Hello,
The need is to redistribute and install SQL Express in the silent mode. Looks like the current license does not allow to redistribute SQL Express in a way other than self-unpacking archive (we need sqlexpr_adv.exe). It seems that the way to do it is:
1. Unpack this archive in the silent mode to the default temp directory, without any dialogs popping up.
2. Proceed with the installation of the unpacked files in the silent mode.
No prob with 2), but we don€™t really know how to deal with 1).
Is there any way to get a full list of command-line parameters for sqlexpr_adv.exe, including the parameter for the silent unpacking?
Thanks,
Alexander.

I have a desktop application in which I use Sql Server CE.
It all works well on my development machine.
It also works on other machines if I copy the sql dll files in the same path as the .exe
I'm trying to avoid all kinds of user interaction. They don't need to know that I'm about to install Sql Server CE really
So I'm hoping to avoid writing in the manual that the user should install SQLServerCE31-EN.msi, which I think is the correct install package.
So my question is: How do you silently/unattended install Sql Server CE on the desktop?

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.
Thanks

Hi There,
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.
Please help and guide me.

Hi,
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
how can i do it from the command line???
Thanks

I can't get SQL Server 2005 to update to SP2 in either silent or unattended mode. None of the standard switches work. I've used -s, -m, /q, /qb, and /qn all with no favorable result. I am still prompted for user input at every screen. Suprisingly I've had no such problems with the express edition, just the server itself. Is there a way to make this thing work? Here is the line I've been feeding to the installer.
"<SERVER_PATH>SQL Serversql2005SP2.exe" start /wait setup.exe /qb /settings "C:SQLSettings.ini" /L*v "C:SQLInstall.log" /norestart
I have also tried the following since it looks like the file that is unpacked by the SP2 install is actually hotfix.exe
"<SERVER_PATH>SQL Serversql2005SP2.exe" start /wait hotfix.exe /qb /settings "C:SQLSettings.ini" /L*v "C:SQLInstall.log" /norestart
I also have tried the following generics:
"<SERVER_PATH>SQL Serversql2005SP2.exe" -s
"<SERVER_PATH>SQL Serversql2005SP2.exe" -m
"<SERVER_PATH>SQL Serversql2005SP2.exe" /q

Hi,
I'm doing a silent install of SQLServer Express 2005 as explained in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx .
I am setting DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=2 because I want to enable TCP/IP protocol at install time.
However it seems that per default SQLServer is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP ports, forcing me to contact the SQLBrowser.
How can I switch to a fixed port, say 1433, at install time?
Thanks, in advance,
Dirk.

I'm still doing some research but I thought I'd slap a quick post up here anyway. I'm trying to create a small 'setup and deployment' project in studio 2005 that includes a prerequisite (sqlexpress). The one thing I've noticed is that there is not an option to install this silently by providing the executable with the appropriate switches. I could easily write my own small utility to do the work or I could use a third-party component like NSIS, however, I'm quite simply amazed that this feature was left out of studio 2005. It's quite possible I'm missing something...any feedback is appreciated 100 times over!
Thanks

I'm currently building an MSI to install SQL Express and want to install as a new instance, not the default instance, and not into the SQLEXPRESS instance either.
I saw the package.xml for Express in my VS Studio install. How would I go about using this? Or would I have to modify the MSI via Orca or something? I hope not. Wouldn't have a clue where to start.
In short, regardless if there is already an SQL Express instance on the machine or not, I need to silently install a fresh new instance of the server engine only, no client tools except sqlcmd.exe
I have seen that MS would advise that everyone use the SQLEXPRESS instance but I don't agree with it. I don't want other application installs trampling over my server settings and I don't want to trample over others. For example, expose others to TCPIP and CLR when they don't need it, and conversely others swithing them off in a shared server instance when I do need them.

Yet another roadblock: Does the standard SQL SE 2005 not install any of the query commands? (isql, isqlw, or osql.exe's). I could have sworn that they were, but every time I go to test the install on my VM none of them are ever installed. If it doesn't is it included in the advanced version of it (which I'd really rather not do)? If still no what's the easiest option I still have open? Can I have my app connect to the master db and run a restore script from the app? I've been arm wrestling with this install for over a week and it's just about brow-beaten me completely.
TIA,

I've read quite a few KB articles on deploying SQL Express silently using the command line and a .ini file. Unfortunately I still have some questions before I can make my own .ini file. This is for a local sql server.
What is the INSTANCENAME attribute meant to be? If it is different from the server installed on my local machine which I have coded the application on, would it be an issue?
What should USERNAME/SQLACCOUNT and SQLPASSWORD be? I can't remember having to setup these for the local database so I can't imagine what it's meant to be set as.
What is the PIDKEY?Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I'm looking for a solution to run querys (create databases ed) after a silent installation of SQL 2005 Express edition (example with a .sql file). So users can run a installation unattended with all databases installed and so on.
What I got is a document about how to run a silent installation (document " Using Command Prompt Options to install SQL Server Express") but this docs there's no solution how to run querys after the installation.
Thanks
