So today I decided I may as well put the latest hotfix package for Sql 2005 onto my laptop.
Unlike SP1 the hotfix actually seemed to know about SQL Express and attempt to install itself only to collapse in a big heap. The log file indicates it can't find a bunch of files it wants to patch.
Hi, I'm planning to install the cumulative hotfix (build 2187) on my sql 2000 clustering server (SP4, 2040). And I would like to know if the cumulative hotfix is able to roll back. If possible, please provide me any information about that. Thanks in advance.
I have recently applied the latest cumulative upgrade 3 for SP2 for SQL Server 2005 (KB939537) to have all the hotfixes needed since the SP2, and to correct a specific one : the 50001440 (SQL Server may fail to generate a plan for a complex query that involves cursors and error 8623 occurs - KB940128).
But it is not included in this latest cumulative upgrade package. I read the new policy about CU but I can not know if the 50001440 hotfix is candidate for the CU :
Cumulative update (CU)
€˘ The update can be requested by any customer, regardless of their support offering.
€˘ The update is released every 2 months.
€˘ The update contains the following:
€˘ All previous critical on-demand hotfixes to date.
Fixes for issues that meet hotfix acceptance criteria. These criteria include workaround availability, customer effect, reproducibility, the complexity of the code that must be changed, and so on.
Another bug, the 50001317 (You may receive error messages when you try to log in to an instance of SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server handles many concurrent connections - KB937745) : it is included in the upgrade 2 for SP2 but not in the upgrade3.
So, is it needed to apply each cumulative upgrade or only the latest CU ? And if it is only the latest CU, why are there missing hotfix ?
I do experiment a problem when trying to install the mentionned patch on my Windows XP SP2 machine (fully patched).
Interestingly, the patch works fine for the named instance, which is a "clean" install of SQL Server 2005 SP1, while it fails on the default instance, which is a SQL 2005 SP1 upgraded in place from SQL Server 2000 SP4. Both instances are Developer editions...
The error is along the following lines:

I've read about this hotfix at http://www.kbalertz.com/Feedback_933097.aspx but I can't find anything on microsoft.com about it. It sounds like a worthwhile hotfix, but I'm wondering about the absence of an announcement on microsoft.com.
The Kb article says to install all component patches, even if you are not running them, to avoid errors...the reporting services hotfix would not install(obviously since reporting svcs is not installed).....now I get the following erro, when trying to connect to the SSIS on my sql server...oh, I am trying to connect locally on the server it self too....

I think I may have figured out the solution to my recent conundrum with SQL Server 2000 that had me stressed and depressed over the last couple of days. In a nutshell, after a HotFix was installed on a SQL2K database server I have space on, I was unable to perform INSERT or UPDATE queries on database table of type TEXT, when trying to either create or modify records with more than 4,000 characters of data. While it was frustrating as heck, it seemed too rigid to be random, so I did some snooping.
The HotFix was intended to solve a known problem of not being able to run UPDATEs against TEXT fields, but in so doing, caused another headache entirely: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839523
Apparently this is a semi-known problem, in that a certain HotFix forces SQL Server 2000 to be a lot more stringent in requiring explicit declaration of data types and data lengths for parameters in stored procedure. In my client code, I was initially using the overloaded constructor of the SqlParameter object that took as arguments only the parameter name and a value, without specifying a value from the SQLDBType enumeration or length of the parameter (which in my case, needs to be TEXT and 16 (or 2147483647), respectively):
It appears that after the HotFix is installed, if the client doesn’t syntactically set the type and length of data for a parameter, SQL Server and/or .NET will default to a type of NVARCHAR, which has the 4,000-character limit. This all makes sense. I’m going to now need to modify the code to straight out declare what’s going in the SPROC:
It’s a minor change, and it sucks that I have to make it after the code had worked flawlessly over several thousands executions over several months, but c’est la vie! Better thay than have to rebuild my DB from scratch or switch to a new server. Changing the client code evidently is the only known fix at this time: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b827366
When I run the install script, I always get a warning that the hard drive (space?) won't support the install, but I have installed successfully with the new tools etc. and I still have 20 gigs left on my laptop. Why is this warning given?
Please tell me what I am missing here. I've got an XP Pro machine with SQL Server Express running and a laptop with XP running the Management Studio Express. This is on my home network which is wireless. I can't see any databases on the XP Pro machine from the laptop. Is there something besides just installing SQL Server that I need to do? I've checked forums, documentation and co-workers but no luck. Thanks in advance
I am trying to install SQL2k5 Express on a Win 2k server.
The install throughs an error during the "native client" setup, saying it is missing a MSI for it. I have verified via checksum that the download from MS is correct.
I just installed SQL 2005 express. It did not prompt me for a selection for the collation. How do I tell what collation it is installed at? And how do I tell whether it is case sensitive or not?
Hi, I am installing SQL Server 2005 on a server that is currently running SQL Express. My reason for installing full SQL is due to the database size limitation of SQL Express. Can anyone give me advice on whether I should unistall SQL Express before installing SQL Server 2005 or just install over the top of Express.
I have SQL Express with Advance report tools installed. I have download the express toolkit to use the Business Intelligence, however after I have installed the add on, when ever I select the Musiness Intelligence Management Studio I have a browser looking for the file Devenv.exe file and a reinstall is not working.
I have installed SQL Server Express with Advanced Services SP1 option. I am not really sure if I should have done this but I could not resist the temptation to have as many options as I could get. I even installed some samples/sample databases.
However, I cannot understand how to start using the SQL Express package which (unlike the Visual Basic 2005 Express or the Web Developer Express I also downloaded) does not show me a start up page. I get SQL Server Configuration Manager, SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting and SQL Server Surface Area Configuration, all from Configuration Tools. I have no idea how to proceed.
hi, Im trying to install SQL express 2005 on my Desktop Computer and I keep running into the error "Setup has detected a problem with Microsoft .Net Framework installation and cannot proceed .Net Framework 2.0 is either not installed on this system or is corrupt" when infact it is installed.. any sugestions?
By the way im Running Windows X64 Pro with a AMD athlon X2 3800+ CPU and 2GB of Corsair DDr2 ram
I am having a problem installing SQL Server Express 2005 from the command line in that it gets part way through and then stops - no message - just terminates. After much rooting around in log files and running a normal install I'm pretty sure that it is stopping because of a warning regarding "Minimum Hardware Requirements".
The laptop I'm trying to install it on is a Samsung X05, Centrino 1.4, 1gb RAM and 60gb free disk space. I've tried it on another laptop (Sony with a higher spec.) and get exactly the same problem.
As far as I can see the hardware spec is well above the recommended minumum so I'm at a loss as to what to try next to overcome the problem. If anyone has any suggestions then I'd be very grateful.
When trying to install SQL Server 2005 Express, it hangs up on "Detecting Installed IIS". This happens if I have IIS installed, and if I do not. My computer is running XP Media Edition. I found a similar question asked by flashg on these forums, but there was no answer to the problem. There were a few other people who posted the same problem.
Is there any fix to this? I am writing software that I planned on using SQL Server Express to store its data with. But if SQL Server is going to cause problems on my customer's computers then I cannot use it.
This is the end of the log file for my SQL Server installation:
MSI (c) (00:20) [20:47:22:140]: Doing action: CheckIIS.D20239D7_E87C_40C9_9837_E70B8D4882C2 Action 20:47:22: CheckIIS.D20239D7_E87C_40C9_9837_E70B8D4882C2.

So, I read this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=416220&SiteID=1, which suggested that I could call SQLEXPR32.EXE (the SP2 download) with the relevant commandline args in exactly the same way I could call setup.exe. Namely, if I were to call:
However, this doesn't seem to be working at all - the commandline params to SQLEXPR32.EXE are completely ignored, and it runs as if they were not specified.
Would be great to get some help on this. I'm equally happy with the set of commands I need to call in order to extract SQLEXPR32 and then run setup, but SQLEXPR32 seems to extract to a random GUID dir, and automatically start setup, neither of which is condusive to automating it.
I have installed SQL Server Express on a Windows XP Professional workstation. The installation instructions that I was following said that I had to have .NET Framework 2.0 installed. The instructions said that I should uninstall any versions before I tried to install 2.0. My computer already has version 2.0 and version 3.0 installed, so I did not remove anything.
My problem is that now that I have SQL Express installed I cannot seem to connect to anything. I was specifically trying to convert an Access database to SQL Server format, and I keep getting a "connection failed" error. I don't seem to have any way to start SQL Express. Does it have to be started or is it running by default? What am I doing wrong?
I was trying to install visual studio 2005 and as part of it I wanted to install sql express as well. It installed the rest okay but not the sql express. Going through the log file I figured out that there was some incompatible beta version installed and hence had to be removed. In the log file I got the following error messages. Going through the forum suggestion I was trying to use msiexec /x to deinstall each of them but got the error message that "The setup has encountered an unexpected error in datastore. The action is Write_CommitFlag. The error is unable to write property into cache: flagCommit. Unable to write property into cache: "flagCommit" XmiRW Error: Failure loading xmlrw.dll CheckAllProcedures. returned 2". After this error message when I check the sql server configuration manager, I still see the old instances running.
I followed up another forum suggestion where I completely installed the old CTP and used the tool provided in the DVD(sqlbuw) to uninstall it but it only removes the one instance and leaves the rest on the system.
I will really appreciate help...

I previously installed and uninstalled SQL Express on my laptop. The second time when I try to reinstall SQL Express, it gives me an error and hault the installation.
Here is the error message:
An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cannot be found.Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'sqlncli.msi'.
Does it mean the setup file is corrupted or something else is causing the error.
I recently posted this question in the SQL Server Express forum and it was suggested I also post this issue to this forum. In the hope that someone can shed some light on the problem.
A couple of days ago I installed SQL Server Express and it seemed to be running fine. (I've not really had a lot of time to devote to trying it out).
Today I decided to remove the software as I noticed it placed various components on differnet drives (my fault, I think). Anyway I removed everything using Add/Delete Progams and then deleted any folders left behind.
Now I try a fresh install of SQLEXPR_ADV and I get as far as the "Instance Name" dialog and use the default Named instance of SQLEXPRESS and then click Next.
The next dialog box appears with the heading "Existing components". The three check boxes are grayed out. So I click the Details button and the following is presented on screen:
Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (SQLEXPRESS) Allowed Action: Maintain (Action is only available from Add or Remove Programs) Reason: Cannot maintain product, to maintain the product go to Add or Remove Programs
Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (SQLEXPRESS) Allowed Action: Maintain (Action is only available from Add or Remove Programs) Reason: Cannot maintain product, to maintain the product go to Add or Remove Programs
Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools Allowed Action: Maintain (Action is only available from Add or Remove Programs) Reason: Cannot maintain product, to maintain the product go to Add or Remove Programs
It has been pointed out that the following services should have been stopped prior to removal.
SQL Server Active Directory Helper SQL Server Browser SQL Server FullTest Search (SQLEXPRESS) SQL Server Reporting Services (SQLEXPRESS)
Surely this should be managed by the Add/Remove process!
I was able to successfully re-install the program as long as I created a new instance.
What should be the correct process to remove SQL Server Express and if necessary how do I remove services if they do not get deleted?

We're creating an installer package for SQL Express 2005 and I'm using the built-in setup project in VS 2005 to create my MSI.
Everything appears to be working well, excpet that on Windows XP Home the SQL Express package is exiting with an error code 70002. I've googled for several days now and simply can't find any help on the 70002 exit code. Can anyone help ?
The command line arguments (I've split them onto seperate lines for clarity) we're passing to "sqlexpr32.exe" are : -
It is not in the add and remove programs. I did what was told and stopped all processes of SQL, I had SQL 2000 running, now I am getting: The setup has encounted an unexpected error in datastore.

hello, I am having some problems installing the sql 2005 express that comes with the asp.net 2.0 It says that the installation failed thats all. Anyone with that kind of problem?
Question----------Is term "machine-name" refer to as the name that you name the pc when u first setting up a new pc from out the box? So if my pc name is {Delldata} when i 'm installing SQLEXPRESS. ,you have a choice of default instance SQLEXPRESS., and browse for instance.do i have to name the instance delldata/SQLEXPRESS for the name instance.to work Or leave it as SQLEXPRESS and hit next?
