Installing SQL Server 2005 Management Tools - Setup Crashing Repeatedly
Mar 18, 2008
I'm having many many issues installing sql server management tools. i had visual studio 2005 installed first, but uninstalled and sql related things before trying to install sql server management tools again - i also deleted the program files/microsoft sql server/ folder so there are no references.
Firstly the system configuration check gives me a warning that the system doesn't meet the recommended hardware requirements - this is wrong... i've got 2.33Ghz dual core + 1gb of ram...
I select just management tools + client connectivity to install and click next -> the setup support files/native client/owc11 etc all install fine but workstation components etc fail and the setup log appears to either be empty and not available
and MSXML6 fails... after clicking finish the installer appears to crash - : "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"... I have tried all sorts of variations on this install and have had no problems in the past - please help!
The setup log from the MSXML6 failure -

I have been trying for 2 days now to get the SQL Server management tools installed on client machines. I'm starting to think it is not possible to do that the way we used to be able to with previous versions of SQL Server. I have installed 3rd party open source software on my own machine so that I can query the database without logging onto the server directly and would like for my co-workers to be able to do the same. As I mentioned we tried the SQL Server Management studio and all we get is a message saying to uninstall all the beta and Visual Studio *** on our machines. We stripped one machine all the way down to the OS and still kept getting that message so I'm guessing it is some new Windows Vista issue that makes SQL Server 2005 client tools completely incompatible with XP. However, we are not going to bow to Microsoft's evil ways and upgrade to their new OS just to use the SQL Server Studio. If need be I will write my own software to workaround this problem. In the meantime, can anyone recommend some good 3rd party tools that will allow us to query the SQL Server 2005 database on a server and preferably one that does not require all other software be removed first?
I've successfully installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on an Enterprise edition of Windows Server 2003 x64. I'm now (and also tried & failed during the install of the database engine) attempting to install the "Management Tools" component on the same server. However, in all my attempts to do so, I receive the following error:
---
The feature(s) specified are not valid for this edition of SQL Server
---
The message box does not list the features that are not valid but since the only item I've selected to install is the "Management Tools" option under "Client Components" it obviously points to something with that.
Am I missing something or are the Management Tools not supported in my config - most notably SQL Server 2005 Standard edition running on Windows Server 2003 x64?
This is not the first install for me but i've noticed that after installing sql server standard 2005 and then i put on sp2 i cannot find my management studio. i don't think that is was ever installed although i did choose to install it. now when i try to install the tools i'm getting the error that they already exist. arghhhh... ? I've looke to uninstall them through the "add or remove programs" but thats a no-go. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks.
(just to add to this my sql database resides on another server so I copied the contents of the dvd over to the server)
Hi Team, Is there any management tools in SQL SERVER 2005? I just installed my standard edition and also developer version in different computer, but seems that both versions doesn't support management tools such as query analyzer. Can anyone explain to me... Thanks.
I am trying to install client tools on my desktop and I am getting the following error :
Edition Change Check (Warning)
Messages Edition Change Check
To change an existing instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to a different edition of SQL Server 2005, you must run SQL Server 2005 Setup from the command prompt and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter.
This error , I am have seen in the logs.
The installation wizard is closing down with the above log error.
hi .everyone ! i have ms visual studio 2005 with sql sever 2005 management tools
anyway .. i want to use and install sql server 2000 in this machine .. i tried to install it, but when i tried to connect to the server .. it gives me this error: "you must use sql server 2005 management tools to connect to this server"
Hello, After installing SQL Server 2005, I get a message stating "You must use SQL Server 2005 management tools to connect to this server", while trying to connect to my localhost using SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager. Regards, junior
I have been investigating this issue and here is what I have found, when using SQL Server 8 Query Analyzer the results show that for example xp_regread has Execute permissions granted to €˜public€™ role. When checking the Same using the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio the results show that there are no Execute permissions granted to €˜Public€™ Role.
So the following Query doesn't return any results on Management Studio SQL Server 2005:
SELECT sysusers.name , Status = CASE protecttype
WHEN 204 THEN 'GRANT_W_GRANT'
WHEN 205 THEN 'GRANT'
WHEN 206 THEN 'REVOKE'
ELSE 'Unknown'
END
, Permission =
CASE action
WHEN 193 THEN 'SELECT'
WHEN 195 THEN 'INSERT'
WHEN 196 THEN 'DELETE'
WHEN 197 THEN 'UPDATE'
WHEN 26 THEN 'REFERENCE'
WHEN 224 THEN 'EXECUTE'
ELSE 'Unknown'
END
, sysobjects.name
FROM sysprotects, sysobjects, sysusers
WHERE sysobjects.id = sysprotects.id
AND sysprotects.action IN (193, 195, 196, 197, 224, 26)
AND sysprotects.uid = sysusers.uid
AND sysusers.name = 'public'
AND (sysobjects.name like '%xp_%' OR sysobjects.name like '%sp_OA%')
Where as running the Same Query in SQL Server 8.0 Query Analyzer will return results, saying there are a few extended procs available to Public for Execute.
We have just moved from 2000 to 2005 and ever time I try to open store procedure or function I was getting this error message... [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Drive] To connect to this server you must use SQL Server Management Studio or SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) So I installed "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility Components" from "Feature Pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - April 2006" on the client machine and this resolved the issue. Specifically i installed the "SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) feature ....., how I am getting following error message
[SQL-DMO]You must use SQL Server 2005 management tools to connect to this server
I've just installed SQL Server 2005 Development Edition x64 on Windows XP x64bit. The actual server (as well as Integration, Reporting Services etc) installs fine, I can connect to it via Visual Studio 2005 fine. However, all of the software tools are missing including Management Studio, Business Intelligence Studio etc. They don't show up in the start menu at all and I can't find them in the Program Files directory.
Anyone know how I can get them back? I've tried reinstalling SQL Server 2005, reformatting Windows XP x64, I'm at my wits end!! Many thanks!
Is it possible to install SQL Server 2005 Eval on a Virtual PC 2007 client running Server 2008 Beta? Nothing says it isn't possible, it says I need to service pack it right away, but before it gets started it comes up with the error 'sqlcu.dll failed to load'. Anyone know what this is all about?
I have recently installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express but I do not find Management Tools in order to create scheduled backups and shrinking of the databases. I was under the impression that this should be included in the Management Studio. I use the SQL 2005 Express for smaller customers who run the SQL on a desktop unit. I need a way to backup the data to a server machine for backup purposes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.
Hi, I installed sql 2005 dev for testing sharepoint, and the management studio was not installed. Now, i am afraid to try to install it because i am thinking it may uninstall or re-install all sql components (and probably erase existing instances and sharepoint data may be lost. I have installed on an other pc the client tools, but i cannot connect to that instance, and i cannot attach the user databases (i get the 5123 error)
Can anyone help me how i can install management services without messing up the sharepoint instance?
I'm trying to install the SQL Mobile 2005 Server tools on a Windows 2003 Server with IIS & MSSQL 2000 sp4.
I've stuck .NET 2.0 on already, but the installer for the server tools Sqlce30setupen.msi just goes straight to the last page of the wizard and says the install was interrupted.
I've run the install with logging turned on and this is the last portion of the trace. Can anyone shed any light on whats going wrong.
HI I have recently installed a copy of SQL server 2005 on to a windows 2003 server. During the install I selected to install the client tools (management studio and all that) all seemed to install ok no errors but after the install there is no management studio in the start menu. I have tried uninstalling the client tools and reinstalling them again I have also tried to launch management studio by browsing to the SqlWb.exe but the program fails to initialise any ideas?
I have VS2008 installed. Now, I need to install the SQL server Management Tools, because of tasks I have on SQL server instances which are installed on other servers. I guess a lot of developers are in such a situation. You develop on your own machine, but deploy the final database on a production machine.And you happen to be the manager of those databases too (well, I am)
Now, it seems impossible to install the neccesary tools as I get messages; The following components that you chose to install are already installed on the machine. To view a report of available options and alternatives click on details (Workstation components, Books Online and development tools 9.2.3042.00)
Then on the Details, it says the following,
Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools Express Edition
Reason: Your upgrade is blocked. For more information about upgrade support, see the "Version and Edition Upgrades" and "Hardware and Software Requirements" topics in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Build version check:
Your upgrade is blocked because the existing component is a later version than the version you are trying to upgrade to. To modify an existing SQL Server component, go to Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel, select the component you would like to modify, and then click Change/Remove.
Now, I have no clue of what can be safely removed to allow the installation of the Management Tools. I am afraid that I will end up with a non-working SQL server Express installation which is required for VS2008
What should I do to get these Managment Tools installed on my develop machine?

I am trying to install the client tools for management purposes only on a IBM T42 laptop which meets all the hardware and software requirements listed on MS support including the HCL list, the Readme, the forums and MSDN but the install still shows the following log messages when the install fails.
AdminMessage = Setup requires user to be in the administrator group in order to continue the installation process. Setup is aborting as the current user is not in the administrator group.

Property(S): SupportedOSMessage = Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system. For information on supported configurations, see the product documentation.
Property(S): SupportedProcTypeMessage = This Microsoft SQL Server Native Client package is not supported on the current processor type.
hopefully, the subject addresses my problem. the server is running like a charm.
Service pack 2 has been installed. The only connection I remember creating after the initial installation is a remote connection.
I've checked to make sure I am allowing multiple protocols.
I am not able to get a response from the following:

When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failu re may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.. Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.
The instance is running as I can connect to it through Visual Studio 2005.
What did I do wrong? I could really use this application in order for me to develop websites. It's sort of a pain to go to another computer to use the more powerful features of SQL Server 2005 Server management Studio (standard edition).
i was tried to install SQL Server 2k Client tools connectivity to my win 95, i was follow the installation procedure, 1). install common library updates for win 95, and then 2). install the server component (client connectivity tools), the installation is running well till copying "Microsoft Data Access Components - MDAC", i got error message : "Installation of the MDAC package failed (-1)". (so the installation doesn't complete).
please anybody help me, what's happen to my computer ????????? :confused:
i have my SQL server 2005 crashing when Events log is full
I have a hacker attacking my DB with a brut force tool but whereas he does not have the password, event log registers his access attempts as Failure Audit.
I have thousands of lines of "Failure Audit" in my event log
The event logs are set to be overwritten automatically when they reach 16Mb but it's not working correctly, they r not overwriting their content.
2007-05-14 01:57:11.57 spid80 The current event was not reported to the Windows Events log. Operating system error = 1502(The event log file is full.). You may need to clear the Windows Events log if it is full.
SQL Agent cannot starts because it's not able to write in the event log that it's starting and when it cannot write in event log, it does not start and my sql server crashed
My Question is simply how to fix this issue once for all
>> I was able to solve this. Read the bottom of the post.
I just installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and none of the management tools seem to be there. At least they do not show up in Start>>All Programs>>Microsoft SQL Server 2005. All that shows up is the Configuration Tools menu item.
I have been searching through the forum and I have found dozens of other threads about this, but none that seem to actually answer the question or give a solution. Some say to delete everything and start over, others say to review Visual Studio 2005 (which takes something like 4 hours to install, and then you still have to install all of the 3rd party tools, so I don't want to do that unless I just have to), and a few others say to uninstall SQL Server Express and then reinstall SQL Server. However, I believe that I selected to install them both at the same time.
Anyway, I just looking for some ideas here to get all of this installed. There seems to be some problem here that a lot of people are having to deal with.
Are the Managment Tools disabled by default? It seems that in 2005 a lot of the services are turned off by default so I'm wondering if I have to do something to turn on the Management Tools.
Best regards,
Greg Rothlander
I just uninstalled and reinstalled per some threads on the forum and it all showed up. Apperently if anyone runs into this, just uninstall everything that has to do with Microsoft SQL Server and reinstall.
I've downloaded the sql server 2005 management studio express executable to my second hard drive, as there is no room on my main drive
However, when I try to install, the program shows me both drives, and shows that there is not enough room on my main drive, but it does not allow me to change the installation to my second drive.
I have previously installed the main sql express product to my second drive with visual studio. There's loads of room.
Can anyone give me a clue as to why this might be happening.
I just recently replaced my old HP laptop with a Sony VAIO. I installed all of my development software on it, including SQL Server 2005 and the studio. At some point when I am using the studio on this new laptop, if I try to resize any of the columns to better fit the data, it crashes my laptop. I get the infamous Blue Screen of Death.
The laptop is a Sony Vaio BX670P and it has Win XP SP2 with all of the latest and greatest updates loaded on it.
The BSD blames a driver for causing the crash and points out "win32k.exe" specifically. This has never happened to me before.
I've got the following installed on my local machine (XP Pro, sp 4, SQL 2000 tools) Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.1399.00 Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 2005.090.1399.00 Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.085.1117.00 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158) Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 5.0 6.0 Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180 Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42 Operating System 5.1.2600
It keeps bomging and giving errors.
I can't find a specific service pack for the tools...maybe there isn't one? Do I need to install the regular sp2 server service pack?
Can the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio interact with local SQL 2005 Express databases. So can we use one management tool for both our server (non-local) SQL 2005 Databases and our local SQL 2005 Express databases (That the developers have free reign over).
