Whenever we install SQL Server 7.0 on a box with 6.5 on it, the installation always fails at the last hurdle. It gives the following error:
Microsoft SQL Server Version Switch
An error occured which prevented a succesfull version switch. Please make sure the Registry Editor, Query Analyzer and ISQL are closed, and try running vswutch.exe again.
We've followed all technet article recommendations to no avail. Any ideas ?
Thanks
Is it possible to install and configure the MSDTC resource in a SQL Server 2000 cluster after SQL is installed and running?
When I recently went through a rebuild of my cluster, I forgot to install the resource before installing SQL Server. Now, if I install and bring online the MSDTC resource the SQL disk groups will not fail over correctly. The SQL Server resource will not come online.
Thanks in advance for any help. I would really like to avoid rebuilding again.

Hi all, Im new here so il start with a little introduction of myself, My name is Arjan im 19 years old from Holland, and i work for a company to compleet my ICT Education.
My situation:
My boss gave me a server with server 2003 standard and Sql server 2005 and visual studio 2005 installed already, he asked me if i could figure out how the 'new' reporting services work, Im pretty new to SQL and the reporting service but i figured out i had to install asp.net / frameworks and IIS.
So right now i wanna start the Reporting Services Configuration Manager and i get an error that says 'Invalid namespace' and when im trying to approach by using my browser i get 'page not found' so obviously their is Alot wrong. I asked my boss if i could not reinstall everything and do it in the correct order (IIS / ASP.net / Frameworks before installing SQL server 2k5 but that was not an option because we dont seem to have the cd's anymore.
The server is not connected to any network or the internet.
My Question:
Is their any way to fix this? and if yes could anyone tell me where to start
Thanks in Advance!
ps if their is information or logs that u need in order to help me just say so :-)

Hi

Can these 2 Editions coexist with each other, or any troubles you think might encounter?
Thanks

Hi, I am working on installing SP2 for SQL Server 7.0. Do I have to install the SP2 on every SQL Server 7.0 Client machine?
or do I have to do anything on the client machines? Thank you.
I've been trying to re-install 7.0(on my test server) but duuring the wizard setup it says:
"Unable to find path HKEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWAREMicrosoftMSSQLSERVERSe tup.
A uninstall was done but I don't understand why it won't just install from the
CD.
Also How can you change the server name in EM, under the SQL Server Group
you have the server name, i.e ServerA. When I put 2000 on the same machine that wouldn't do the re-install for 7.0 it shows the server name as ServerAServerA and I just want to rename it to ServerA. But in EM under 'Registered SQL Server Properties' the server name field is not active for modification.
I would appreciate any help to the up-most. Thanks

Hello:We just leased a dedicated server and now want to install SQL Server2000. We though we could just copy the contents of the CD to a folderon the server and run AUTORUN. While it does load the splash screen,when we click install SQL Server Components, the demoshield splashscreen comes up and then disappears. The install stops.Any ideas? Is this even possible?Thanks in advance.Jason Sweet

View 8 Replies View RelatedHello, I know that IIS needs to be installed in order to utilize SQL Server Reporting Services. My question is, can the installation of IIS be automated so that I am not relying on end-users who are not that computer literate to install IIS?

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions regarding the requirement of SQL Express of ASP.NET 2.0 and that this may "break" existing applications that require ASP.NET 1.1 and will not run on ASP.NET 2.0
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I currently have SQL Server Express and SQL Server Management Studio Express v.9.00.1399.00 (CTP). Both were installed in Dec 2005. I have not updated these products since then and have noticed that there is now a SP2 available, which I would like to install
I also have VWD, VB and VC# Express editions. However, for these I have already installed SP1
I understand that that I need to uninstall SQL Server and SSMSE before I can install SP2 or SP2 with Advanced Services. What would happen to the other Express editions just mentioned (VWD, VB, VC#)? Do they need to be uninstalled too? Or will they continue to work as normal if I donīt re-install?
Many thanks in advance for your help,
Chris
Someone please tell me how to install MSDE. I am somewhat unfamiliar with the command prompt - I'm using XP Professional. I need to set "SAPWD."
I have tried "setup SAPWD="" security=SQL" but I don't believe I'm doing it right.
Hi:
I'm just getting started with ASP.net and am trying to install MSDE. I am getting the error message : Instance specified name is invalid.
I have followed the directions in the downloadpage. Any help??
Thanks
Crystal.
I am running Windows XP Pro. When trying to install MSDE, sql2ksp3, i go to the command line and enter:
setup SAPWD=somegreatpassword SECURITYMODE=SQL and off it goes, gathering information and starting to install.
After a short period of time where the status bar shows about 9 seconds left the status bar runs backwards down to zero and installation stops.
No error message, no crashes, just packs up its tent and goes away.
I have tried running setup from a batch file with the same results.
I have turned off my antivirus program as well as all other programs.
Need Input! - Thanks - T.C.
Ok I installed the MSDE and after following the steps the last message box says to go to the control panel and install and configure the components.
I'm not sure what to do once I'm in the control panel.
Thank you.
I followed all instructions, then I got an example from microsoft on creating a database, it isjust a visual basic example, it has a button create database and it says sql server not found but i can see it on the tray that it is running and using the web interface i can see the databases so i dont know why doesnt the microsoft created example doesnt work.
Thank you
Hi All,
I need help installing MSDE. I am using Windows XP. When I download it and try to set the password with the Command Prompt, it doesn't work. When I setup XP my username became the Admin. When I open the Command Prompt, it defaults into my documents and setting - I can't get a C: prompt. My login is the Admin and the old Administrator account isn't listed anywhere on my computer. Am I screwed? Do I have to reinstall XP and have the seperate Admin account? Please help.
Thanks,
Tony
Hello All:
I am having a problem with installing MSDE. I do not have SQL Server 2000 installed on my computer, but I am getting the error, "A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same..." If I am not running SQL Server, how can I get an SA password so I can complete the install. Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi,
I've been trying to follow Microsoft's instructions on installing MSDE2000 for Visual Studio. I do instancename=VSDOTNET SECURITY=SQL SAPWD=XXXX and all that. When I reboot, I notice that I have no services in the SQL Service Manager, nor can it find my computername.
Anybody know why this is?
I've downloaded sql2ksp3. After I have extracted the file, I found MSDE folder and I ran the setup.exe. Halfway through the installation, it says the instance name specified is invalid.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.
I thought SQL Server allowed installation on XP Pro? For some reason I am getting an error. SQL Server Ent. 2000 is telling me that it does not support XP Pro. Is there a work around for this? I don't want to have to rebuild by box just to isntall SQL server!

My question is:
Is it better to have SMS reside on a different sever than a server that is using SQL or is more effecient to have SMS and SQL residing on the same server being that SMS backend is SQL Server? What factors do I need to consider in trying to make this decision? Thanks to whoever can help with this.
I have to install SQL 7.0 Client software (query analyzer, client connectivity) on A LOT of workstations that only have Internet Explorer 3.0 ... Is there any way of getting around not upgrading to 4.0 sp1? If I try to just install 7.0 client, it errors out saying I need IE 4.0sp1. I really don't want to have upgrade IE!!!
Thanks in advance.

I have installed Sql 7.0 desktop edition on Win 98 with IE5 and am having a problem starting the Sql server.
It auto registered the server under my machine name. It was returning a network connection error so I deleted it and tried to add one with the name (local). Enterprise Manager then returned an error saying one was already registered under that name.
Anyideas?

This may seem like a wierd question, but can I have 6.5 and 7.0 running on the same machine? I need 6.5 for production builds and 7.0 for test. Is this possible? THanks
