Installing / Running Multiple Instances Of SQL Server Express 2005
Jan 3, 2008
My client has a server running MS 2003 Server for Smal Business Server, and it has SQL Server Express 2005 installed (I believe it is installed 3 times, as part of SharePoint, Veritas Backup Exec and ACT! applications).
I am trying to implement an application that uses SQL Server 2000, but the Server 2003 SBS does not support that version. So I need to launch an additional instance of SQL Server Exp 2005.
To do so, do I need to download and install SQL Server Express 2005 software again? Or can I just run SQLSVR.exe from an existing instance, but with a different instance name (sqlservr.exe -s<InstanceName>?
The reason I need another instance is that these existing instances limit DDL statements.
I am new to this and compare it to launching MS Word multiple times - you don't need to reinstall Word to run it multiple times.
Is launching from the command line a bad idea - and if it is, what is the better way to ensure that it launches under the local system context a service?
Thanks in advance for any help and insights. It is much appreciated.
Hi, I am trying to install multiple application services on 1 sql server database. Is this possible? I do not know how to install anything but the default application services settings for the membership, roles, etc.
I have a website running under Windows Server 2003 which I am trying to deploy Reportin Services to using a custom security extension using Forms authentication. There is also another website which is just a Report Server running on this IIS 6.
On my development machine, XP with IIS 5.1, the Website with Reporting Services using forms authentication works fine, shares cookies for authentication and all that jazz. but trying to configure a second instance of Reporting Services on Server 2003 is not behaving.
Is there some trickery or details involved with running two instances of Reporting Services?
Also in the Configure Report Server tool it is failing and so not initializing on the last step of the Database Setup
Setting Connection Info for Reporting Server
ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: An error occurred when attempting to connect to the report server remote procedure call (RPC) end point. Verify that the Report Server Windows service is running, and then retry the operation.
---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800706B3): The RPC server is not listening. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706B3) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.ThrowOnError(ManagementBaseObject mo) at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.ListReportServersInDatabase(RSReportServerInfo[]& serverInfos)
I'm looking at installing 2008R2 and 2014 side by side, then using Mirroring to provide HA for the 2008R2 instance and AoHA for the 2014 instance. I'd be using the same two physical servers for both the Mirroring pair and the AoHA pair.
Can multiple instances of SQL 2005 Express attach to the same database files on a network share? I have seen this done before with MSDE where the database files are stored on the server, but instead of having a SQL server running on the network and then connecting to it, only the database files exist on the network share and the users connect through MSDE running on the local machine. Is this possible with SQL2005Express? I do not have the ability to share an SQL instance from one workstation to another nor do I have the ability to install an instance on the corporate server. Is it as simple as creating the database and storing the files on the share then attaching the database to the SQL Instance on each workstation?
We have a DTS package that is submitted every minute by a SQL Agent job (2000). We see instances where before the first job is completed, the second one starts running.
Has anyone encountered this type of behavior before?
But I'm not quite clear on what will happen if you currently have SQL Server Express 2005 installed with User Instances, and then you launch the installer for SP1.
Will it also update the User Instance? If so, how could I tell? When I go to the registry for the User Instance it has the older version value ie.
In my application code I am trying to invoke multiple threads in which each thread is loading an instance of the same SSIS package and would initialize the package variables with different values and execute the different instances in parallel. In each thread - after the package execution has completed successfully - I read that instance's SSIS package variables to get result information from that Instance run.
When I load the same package in different thread using LoadFromSqlServer() method - does the code create multiple instances of the SSIS package and load the distinct instances in each of the thread - Will the Package Execution ID be different for the different instances? - Are the package level variables instance safe?
I am running multiple instance of the same application. This application is connecting to the database and running stored procedures using ADODB (all code examples are taken from msado15).
The problem is that somehow these two applications are sharing something either with the connection or commands.
For instance if the two instances are in the following function at the same time then they both thow an SEH exception:
The exception that occurs is: "First-chance exception ...: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000068."
And afterwords when they go to release the command an error occurs on First-chance exception at 0x4de4120c in IpsEngine.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xcccccccc.
Code Snippet
inline void _bstr_t::Data_t::_Free() throw() {
if (m_wstr != NULL) { ::SysFreeString(m_wstr); } if (m_str != NULL) {
The command and connections are not static and there should be completely seperate instances of these for each instance of the application. Does anybody know why this may be happening. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I am running SQL Server 2005 x64 DE on Vista x64. I installed MS VS 2005 Pro. Edition. During the setup of VS, I did a custom install, un-checking the SQL Express addition box. After installation, I received errors that indicated the SQL Express did not install. Even though I do not have SQL Express installed on my machine, MS Update says that I need SQL Express SP2. My SQL DE is up to date with SP2 and MS Update indicates as "optional" that I need SQL SP2.
Is SQL Express a necessity for VS Pro? If not, why is MS Update indicating that I need SQL Express SP2? In addition, why is MS Update telling me I need SQL SP2 when it is already installed?
Note: I installed SQL SP2 manually, not through MS Update. This makes me believe that MS Update is not detecting it.
I have no idea how to apply "fixes" or updates to SQL Server when it is running on a cluster.
We are currently running SQL Server 2005 with SP2. The version would be Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (X64) Feb 10 2007 00:59:02 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
I am hoping that someone can tell me of a document that exists, that includes the very basics, on how to do this. I need something that says go to the cluster and do these steps in this order, etc. from start to finish.
Just wondering. On some workstations and a couple of servers we have apps each running an instance of MSDE so these machines each have anywhere between 2 - 5 instances of MSDE each.
Would it be benificial from a resources point of view (not to mention a patching one) if we set up one instance of Express to replace the multiple MSDE ones?
I am working on Win2K Pro & had SQL Server 2005 Express & SQL Server Management Studio installed. The SQL Server name was MerverSQLEXPRESS. Due to some unavoidable reasons, I had to repair (& not re-install) Win2K but after doing so, I found that I am not able to connect to the database server. I uninstalled all the components related to SQL Server 2005 Express (like Management Studio, Support Files, BOL etc.) from my m/c & then restarted my m/c.
After doing so, I first re-installed SQL Server 2005 Express & other related components (I intended to install SQL Server 2005 Management Studio after installing SQL Server 2005 Express). While installing SQL Server 2005 Express, all the steps get executed successfully except for the last one which happens to be SQL Server Database Services. At this point, I get the following error:
An instance with the same name is already installed on this computer. To proceed with SQL Server Setup, provide a unique instance name.
The problem is after I click the OK button, I am not even given the option to change the instance name! The Status message corresponding to SQL Server Database Services just says Setup failed. Refer to the Setup log for details. Finally, when I click the Next button, the next dialog finishes the Setup (showing the Finish button).
Now how do I overcome this problem? Please note that the Authentication mode I am using is Windows Authentication.
Someone please suggest me a concrete solution. It's driving me nuts! My receding hairline is getting further receded!
Lastly, please note that, as far as possible, I would like to keep the instance name as MerverSQLEXPRESS only.
I have a problem installing SQL express from a CD, it installs fine but the installation wizard does not load automatically, so I have tried to setup manually through Add and Remove programs.
But when I get pass System configuration check menu, i do not get the Registration info menu, it goes straight to SQL server express setup and then to another server express setup menu (it skips 3 menu pages) it should have MSML5 components such as SQL setup files, SQL native client, SQL VSS writer etc but it is completely empty. Then I get the finish screen.
However, when I uninstall SQL express, I see the MSML screen with all the components listed before it uninstalls.
I hope this makes sense and I hope someone can help.
to install sql server express 2005, do i have to install the windows installer 3.0. when i run the setup, after extracting the files, there is a message displaying such that to continue installation, you need to install the windows installer 3.0.
Downloaded the program and followed the instructions (as vague as they are) the only thing I see to execute is the configuration tools. I am certain I have missed something. Can anyone assist?
I just want to confirm that I can just install it on top of what I already I have.
About 2 months ago, I installed Visual Studio 2005, full edition (not express).
I can't remember what I did regarding SQL... whether I installed anything or not.
On my PC at the moment, in the Control Panel ---> "add/remove programs" section, I have :-
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Size 197,00MB Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile [ENU] Developer Tools Size 6,95MB Microsoft SQL Server Native Client Size 4,16MB Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English) Size 20,60MB Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer Size 0,66MB
From my start menu --> All Programs, the only SQL program is "Microsoft SQL Server 2005", and this just has one sub-menu to "configuration tools". I cannot see a link to any SQL server, so I don't think I have it installed.
Should I uninstall the 5 programs listed above first ? Or can I just install SQL Server 2005 Express on top of what I already have ?
I'm new to programming and I've got to develop a db for a uni project. However after downloading SQL Server 2005 express ed, I found that I could not find the command prompt to start writing scripts (black and white DOS screem). I only have the configuration tool option in my menu (within that server configuration manager, error & usage reporting and server surface area config).
How do I get started with creating my database, please help....................
I'm I not looking in the right place for the console (command prompt to run scripts) or have I not downloaded the right stuff.
I'm completely frustrated in trying to install this product, I've checke the following from the error file

I have Visual Web Developer 2005 Express edition and I wanted to install SQL Server 2005 Express edition.From this page, I have downloaded and installed 'Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition' and 'Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/After the installation, how should I access the SQL Server 2005 Express edition?Because the only thing listed in 'Start > All Programs > SQL Server 2005' is 'Configuration Tools'I was hoping that when I install SQL Server 2005 express edition, I would get all the menu that I get by installing SQL Server 2000.So after installing SQL Server 2005 Express edition, what should I be expection? Thanks
When I try to install SQL Server 2005 Express I find that after a short time it discontinues and say's "Installation not completed etc" on looking at the logs it say.s "Could not find IIS" do I need XP Pro to be able to install SQL Server Thanks in advance
I've been having horrific problems installing and working with SQL Server Express 2005. I installed SSE with the Visual Web Developer tool so I assumed that the instance would synch up; but it didn't (see log contents at end) so I opened up permissions wide open to all users, and even that didn't help. I don't know for sure but I suspect that the problem probably relates to my deleting SQL Server entries from the registry and all directories and files related to it on disk. After going through the process of uninstalling and reinstalling Express 2005 numerous times, I became frustrated and decided to pull out all stops. After reading and following all MSDN instructions and every blog and forum I could possibly locate on the subject, I could never resolve the problem of not reaching my database. I enabled all pipes and TCP/IP, etc. in the Configuration Manager, in both instances I had created; had run all command-line procedures recommended; and used cleanup programs that I could find, before reinstalling. I couldn't even get success in doing a test connection. I did get to a point where my ASP returned the message that it had connected but that the user didn't have permissions. I think I'm destined to working with Access, which is a shame since I have encouraged students in a Web development class I teach to work with the more powerful SQL Server products. They've had success with SQL Server, so I'm setting a bad example. Thanks in advance for help any of you can suggest.

I am running WinXP Home edition, and I was trying to install SQL Server Express, but the error message is too vague for me fix.

What Service Pack do I need to download?

I've been trying to install SQL Server Express 2005 on my machine at home (XP Pro). However, when I get done, I get the following error when I restart my computer (at the login screen): "Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (Error getting instance ID from name.). Please uninstall the re-run setup to correct this problem."
I have uninstalled and reinstalled a number of times, with always thesame result. I had Visual Studio Orcas Beta 2 installed, so I thought that might have had something to do with it. I uninstalled everything development related on the machine (including all versions of the .NET Framework), and am still getting the same error. I tried installing along with Visual Studio 2005 (since it can be installed through the VS installer), same error.
I haven't been able to find any helpful information on this error. It seems everyone else is seeing it when they try to open Management Studio or some other program, but I am seeing it on system start.
Anyone have any thoughts? I'd really like to get this working. Thanks.

I ran msiexec /x "{2750B389-A2D2-4953-99CA-27C1F2A8E6FD}" without the quotes and got the following:
The setup has encounted an unexpected error in datastore. The action is Write_CommitFlag. The error is Unable to write property into cache: "flagCommit" XmRW Error: Failure loading xmlw.dll CheckAllProcedures[] return 2
I have ran the uninstall tool and deleted everything beta, etc from the add and remove list.
I have Visual Studio 2003 installed and SQL 7 and 2000 installed as well. I have now reinstalled all the other express tools and they are not working correctly either, but it may be because I can not get SQL 2005 Server Express installed.
I need to install SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on a new Windows Server 2003 machine that has SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installed by a backup application (Backup Exec). Will I need to uninstall the express edition in order to install the standard edition? Can the two coexist as separate instances or will the standard edition installation simply upgrade the express installation?
