Aug 31, 2007Hi 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 :-)

Installing SQL Server Standard Edition 2005 After Installing SQL Server Express 2005
Feb 14, 2007Hi
I have installed SQL Server Express 2005 on my machine.
I want to install SQL Server Standard Edition 2005 on my machine to check new services it has.
Can these 2 Editions coexist with each other, or any troubles you think might encounter?
Thanks
Installing MS Visual Studio 2005 (PE). On Vista X64 (BE) Running MS SQL Server 2005 (DE) X64
Feb 10, 2008Hi, 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.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help,
Abel
Installing SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition When Express 2005 Is Already On Server
Sep 30, 2007I 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?
Thanks
Sql Server 2005 (business Intelligence Development Suite ) Problem Installing Sql 2005 On Vista (vs 2008)
May 7, 2008I installed sql server 2005 sp2 including business intelligence development suite , however I got a message
some client components not compablitable .This morning I searched my programs and found that I have new
visual studio 2005 on my computer (before I just had vs 2008) as well as business intelligence
developer (which does not work) It seems I I would like to get rid of vs 2005 also
fix business intelligence studio . Previously I deleted vs 2005 express off my computer........(I have vista
and I would only like to keep tools meant for sql standard 2005 reporting services etc
here is a list of my sql sp2 install package
By the way I doubled clicked sql_tools.msi and did not run as administrator
Does that make a difference? I wonder if this is a problem with vs 2008 and sql 2005......

Help With Installing SQL Server 2005
Jul 10, 2006Hi,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me. I was trying to run SQL Server 2005 express edition after downloading it from the internet. I must admit i'm new to SQL server. So this is why i like to get a feel of how it works and that sort of things. However, when i tried to run it, it's saying that i needed .Net Framework 2. Then, after having downloaded the .Net and run the setup, the error message came up with the following message.
"Error creating process <c:Documen~1userslocals~1 empixp000.TMPInstall.exe>. Reason: c:windowssystem32advpack.dll"
It still gives me the same error message after updating the advpack.dll i got from the internet.
Has anyone had the same experience as i've been having now?
Any ideas as to solve it?
Thank you in advance

Installing SQL Server 2005
May 15, 2007Hello
I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 on XP with SP2. According to Microsoft this should be sufficient. However when I try to install it says I need WIndows Installer 3.1. I cannot get this from Microsofts website as i'm not using a proper copy of XP.
Does anyone know a way round this before I go and buy XP?
This is the file I need...
WindowsInstaller-KB893803-x86.exe
To complicate matters further i'm running XP on my Mac via Virtual PC (but i'm told this shouldn't matter)
Thank you in advance

TROUBLE INSTALLING SQL SERVER 2005
Aug 11, 2007Hello,
I am trying to install SQL Server 2005. I just installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2005(.NET). I got an option in my Start -> Programs for Microsoft SQL Server 2005. But I don't see how to bring up the query analyzer. It just has options for Configuration Tools ->SQL Server Configuration Manager,SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting, SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.
Did I install it wrong by chance? Do I need to do something else now? Do I need to configure it? If yes, how do I do that? Could anyone lead me in the right direction please? Thanks!
I have no idea how to proceed since I've never installed this before.
Could anyone please help me install or do whatever needs to be done to it so I can bring up the query analyzer/user interface and be able to use SQL?
Thanks,
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Installing Sql Server 2005 For The First Time
Feb 12, 2008I will be installing SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition for the first time and was looking for some hints...
unfortuntely, I don't know alot about what kind of applications they will be using the databases for.. but I do know that I have 400GB to allocate. My manager suggested a seperate volume for the SQL Server Binaries.. not sure why... ANY OPINIONS ON THAT???
This is what he suggested
C: OS
D:SQL Server application install
E:datafiles
F:Logfile
e:tempdb
any hints, suggestions, opinions, things to watch out for... ???????
I was thinking more along the lines of
c:OS and application installs (sql server etc..)
E:datafiles and TempDB
F:Logsfiles
Installing SQL Server 2005 On Vista
Mar 6, 2008Hi,
I'm about to purchase a new development laptop and want to ensure I won't have any issues installing SQL Server 2005 on Windows Vista.
I can see from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx that it is possible but states that SQL Server 2005 SP2 must be installed.
My install CD is for SQL Server Developer Edition without SP1 or SP2. Will I be able to install off this and then install SP2 afterwards or will I encounter problems because I need SP2 present on the install media?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Gavin.

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.
