IIS Feature Requirement Warning On Installation SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition
Nov 8, 2007
I've tried to installed sql server 2005 developer edition on windows vista home premium but failed many times, almost giving up.
I've installed and turned on all the features of IIS 7.0 but it still failed and I tried to test IIS 7 by running the local host and received this error " HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error."
I even ran the windows update SP1 for Vista and MDAC 2.8 SP1
I really appreciate any comments and help.

Here are the messages in the windows system check for the sql server 2005 installation:
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features. Without IIS, some SQL Server features will not be available for installation. To install all SQL Server features, install IIS from Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel or enable the IIS service through the Control Panel if it is already installed, and then run SQL Server Setup again. For a list of features that depend on IIS, see Features Supported by Editions of SQL Server in Books Online.

I'm new to SQL Server... I just need to start learning how to use it... because it is being used at work... Don't need the all the features installed, just the normal table and query for the moment...
I will be installing it on my PC... i
Microsoft Windows XP - Home Edition - Version 2 - Service Pack 2
My local Hard Drive remaining capacity is 12.6GB
External Hard Drive remaining capacity is 11.0GB
Tried looking everywhere for the answer... lol (even looked at YouTube for a simple installation video....

I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition in parallel with SQL Server 2000. The server is a Dell 2650 with 1 GB RAM running Windows 2000 Server.
The initial part of the setup runs the System Configuration Checker (SCC), which is generating this warning:
The server is a member of a domain, but I am logged in as the local administrator. The drive is not compressed. There are no file system problems. I am at a loss as to why this warning is occuring, and do not want to proceed until I figure this out.
(I got this warning on another server as well. That was a test server, so I proceeded. The engine seems to run ok, but SSIS will not load, says a component is missing. Not sure if the two issues are related or not).
I have Windows Vista, and I am tryed to install SQL Server I downloaded from MSDN. I tried both Express and Developers Edition but both give me this error when trying to install SQL Database Services

Of course the help link is useless, sure looks purdy though.
Anything you folks out there on WWW can do to help will be appreciated. Please put your posts in English. By that I mean I am not that good with computers when it comes to troubleshooting so keep the technical stuff short and sweet.
If SQL Server Setup fails, Setup will roll back the installation but may not remove all .manifest files. The workaround is to rename the files and then rerun Setup. For more information, see How to: Work Around COM+ Check Failure in SQL Server Setup.
I am trying to compare developer edition and Express edition. I almost purchased the developer edition and wanted to compare it with other editions. no info to be found. Would greatly appreciate it, if someone could direct me to a resourse that shows this comparision.
thanks
ps.The product comparision page doesnt show developer edition.

Workaround says remove the .manifest files. Where are they?
Is it possible to connect SSRS running on SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition (our production system) to a database running on SQL Server 2005 Developer's edition (our test system)
Hi I am interested in taking MCTS exam 70-431 for sql server 2005 implementation and maintainance. I have been reading the hardware requirements for the instalation of sql server versions and realise that enterprise and developer editions have same minimum requirements for the operation system. I understand that the Developer Edition includes all the functionality of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, but it is licensed for use as a development and test system, not as a production server.
Also I undestand that the developer edition supports the Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 or later but the enterprise edition does not support this operating system. The evaluation/trial version is for the enterprise edition. Can I use the developer version of sql server 2005 for my practice exercises instead of using the trial version? I have all hardware requirements for the trial enterprise version except that I am using Microsoft windows Xp home edition version 2002 with SP2. I am trying to see if I can use the developer version of sql server 2005 as it is cheaper for me to buy this software than buying the new operating system for my computer. According to the microsoft book for the MCTS exam 70-431 there is a section which states that before you begin you should have Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running on your computer on an NTFS file system (NTFS) partition. Will I still be ok to use the book and be able to do all the tests in the book if i am using the developer version of sql server 2005 with my Microsoft windows Xp home edition than using the trial version which comes with the book?
As an ISV, I want to certify my product on Standard Edition. I am using Developer Edition everywhere. Is there a way I can do the certification using the Developer Edition, or do I need to obtain/purchase a copy of the Standard Edition?
We have an existing installation of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (64bit) that we are ready to go live with and would like to change the edition to Enterprise Edition (64bit). We have purchased all the appropriate licenses. We would like to avoid UN-installing the Developer Edition and RE-installing the Enterprise Edition. There must be some way to change a registry key, provide your serial number via a command line utility or re-run the setup with the license key provided and direct it to just change the edition from Developer to Enterprise and not change any of the other settings like service account, sa account, collation, etc. Any help is most appreciated.
I'm trying to register a developer's 2000 pc from my 2005 pc.
i'm not sure this is even something possible from Dev Edition to Dev Edition- I can register a 2000 server just fine.
I can ping him. Both our systems have remote access 'on'. His server is (local), i've tried connecting to it by just entering his machine name and by using just the ip address. The error I get is "timeout expired. The timeout elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."
Am I just not registering this properly? I entered just the ip address in the 'server' box. I am connecting as sa with the pw he gave me. When i connect to my server, I use the ip addressinstance. However, I am not sure what to use for the instance when all I see when I look at his machine is (local).
I tried to download PerformancePoint Server Trial Version to ther server today and I got to the configuration point of the Analysis Services Setting, and when I clicked next to proceed with the configuration I got a popup error message: "Microsoft Analysis Server must be Evaluation, Developer or Enterprise Edition".
Now I have SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition Disc (Bought it with Visual Studio 2005) but on the server I have SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition, if I try to run the sql server developer Edition disc, I use the wizard download and it seems that the download is going through the SQL Server entire download, it's like I'm re-downloading SQL Server all over again.
Does that seem right? what is the best approach to work around this probelm?
I am currently downloading the mega-sized files for SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and was wondering if I was going to be able to install it onto my workstation alongside the SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition? Was hoping someone could advise. I did browse for an answer, but have not come across it yet. I know I'll find out once my download is complete, but that could be awhile :)
I installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional then after that was installed and running, I tried to install the the SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition which installed but I do not get the SQL Server 2005 Studio Manager. I have remove and reinstalled but it never gets installed. Any ideas?
Everytime I open SQL Server Studio Management I recieve the below error. I've un-installed and reinstalled but it continues to come back. I cna continue on and it'll work kind of, but after a while it'll jsut crash on me normally when I'm trying to save a script or create a new DB. Sql Server 2000 is installed on the same machine so I'm wondering if I can have them both installed like this. Has any one seen this one?Bruce See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text

Ive installed SQL server 2005 developer edition onto my pc but when I use management studio, the only server I get is SQLEXPRESS. I did install the express version just to check it out, whats happend to the developer edition ? Is this named SQLEXPRESS as well ? and has overwritten the express version ? Has anyone else experienced this ?
I am in the early stages of migrating an extensive Access 2003 application to C#/SQL Server. The client already has SQL Server 2005, whereas I am using SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition. It has worked fine for me, but I'd like to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition and have a couple of questions.
In Access 2000 I am always using Query Analyzer and Enterprise Manager. Are these features available in 2005 Develper Edition?
Can more than one user connect to SQL Server at a time? That is, for testing concurrency, etc, can two people connect at the same time?
Is these any restriction on connecting to SQL Srever from another computer or workstation? Again for testing, one or two other workstations would be fine.
Finally, what is the street price? I've seen this advertised for $ 47 where I would have expected far more than that.
Hi I was trying to install the SQL server 2005 trial version and the only warning I got was for IIS feature requirement. I am using MS Windows XP home edition SP2 with 1GB RAM and 2.80 GHz pentium processor. How can I get this IIS feature on my machine with these specifications? am I forced to have a different operationg system to support the IIS? Is this problem caused by the operating system I am using or what else could have caused this?
After installing SQL server 2005 by ignoring the IIS warning I realised I could not get Reporting service feature installed. How can I get this Reporting service ? Will I be able to get the reporting services installed if I do not change the Operating system? What should I do if I want to have reporting services components installed on my machine?
Thanks
Below is the warning message I got , I tried to follow the instruction but I could not see the IIS anywhere on my machine "- IIS Feature Requirement (Warning) Messages ·IIS Feature Requirement Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features. Without IIS, some SQL Server features will not be available for installation. To install all SQL Server features, install IIS from Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel or enable the IIS service through the Control Panel if it is already installed, and then run SQL Server Setup again. For a list of features that depend on IIS, see Features Supported by Editions of SQL Server in Books Online."
I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 Express with Advanced Features (SP2), ideally with Reporting Services. However, every time I try to install it, setup fails the IIS Feature Requirement.
This is starting to get annoying, as every single component for IIS 7.0 is installed.
Strangely, if I go into the Programs and Features thing (I'm on Vista HP), select SQL Server 2005, and click Change, the setup here passes the IIS test.
Could it be that because SQL Server is already installed (just the database engine), it is affecting an 'upgrade' to the Advanced Features pack? Will I have to uninstall SQL Server completely, then reinstall it (no biggy) ?
(1) I have already installed of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition first.
(1) Can I install visual studio 2008 without the 2005 express edition of SQL server? Will be any problems because I don't have express edition of SQL server? Do I need to install the express edition of SQL server as well?
(3) How to use SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition instance on visual studio 2008?
Hi, I'm not sure if this is where I should post this, but I'm trying to find out what the limitations of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (DE) are. I've gone through the Microsoft SQL Server site and they have very little information about the developer edition.Is there a connection limit for DE like 2000 did?
Will SQL Server 2005 developer edition and Visual Web Developer Express work on the same machine? One reviewer of SQL Server 2005 developer edition on amazon.com stated won't work on the same machine? Is this true?
Hi Everyone, Recently I installed Visual Studio 2005 which also installed SQL Express Edition with it. I then installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition and am now able to see two instances SQLEXPRESS and MSSQLERVER. I do not want to use the Express version anymore, Do I have to have the Express version running or can I have just the Developer Edition ? Please help, can't find any help on the SQL website! Thanks
i am trying to find it, the only thing the MS site shows is enterprise licensing. is the developer edition still going to be like $100 or whatever it was?
Hi I currently have this edition of SQL server on my laptop:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86) May 3 2005 23:18:38 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Desktop Engine on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
It is running on SQL Server Management Studio 2005.
I wish to upgrdade to Developer Edition (as my laptop won't support Enterprise as it's running on Windows XP).
I have some questions, which I would be grateful if somebody could help answering:
1- will all my database remain as they are? 2- Will I loose any functionality? 3- Will it upgrade or intstall a separate edition? 4- Can anybody recommend where to purchase Developer 2005 edition? 5- I currently have 2gb capped database limit on my version, will I get a no capped limit? 6- Will the 2gb Capped limit increase to uncapped once I install (i.e. can i use my previous 2gb database and add more data to above 2 gb)
The main issues are that I need an uncapped limit for my DB's and that I will keep my existing db's.
