MDF Files With VS 2005 Installed SQL Server Express

Mar 21, 2006

I created a mdf file but couldnt for the life of me install it into SQL Sever Express [and when I say install i mean attach].     When I used SQL Server Ent, I had no issues.  The only warning I got was that my mdf file was used by another process when I tried to attach with VS 2005 [ which is correct because ent had it].  I think mdf files are pretty touchy.  Does anyone have any good articles on best practices?  It seems you cant have a db with the same name as your attachment [ which would make sense] or have mdf files in the Data directory of your SQL Server instance you are trying to attach to.  You will get the unc share error if you do.  I think I need to start using user Instances but I could be wrong.  You cant use them in ent but maybe i will solve my issue with attaching db files to express.  I noticed that by default express doesnt install in mix auth mode and there might be some issues with access.  How does everyone else normally install their mdf files for quick deployment [ say you want to deploy your db with your app so that users can quickly get started] ?

Jun 21, 2007

All --
Please help. 
Is it possible to connect to MDF file without having SQL Server 2005 Express installed on the machine?
That is-- can one connect directly to an MDF in the same way and Access MDB file can be used?
If no, then is there any way around this?
If yes, then are there any limitations?
Please advise.
Thank you.

How To Control SQL Server 2005 Express Installed As A Prerequisite

Jul 4, 2006

Suppose I check "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition" as one of the prerequisites for a custom app in a Windows Setup project.

From reading whatever docs I could get my hands on, it's still not clear to me how to control the installation of SQL Server Express with respect to things like instance name, service account, etc, etc.

In other words, this is stuff that's normally the domain of template.ini. However, there's no clear indication of where I should put template.ini so that the install of "prerequisite" SQL Server Express will see it and configure accordingly...

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help solve this...

Do I HAVE To Have IIS Installed To Use SQL Server Express 2005? And Do I Have To Install SQLE2K5 On A Server?

Feb 19, 2007

Hi,

I'm an absolute beginner trying to learn SQL and Visual Basic/Visual Web developer.

I've downloaded SQL Express 2005 and want to install it on my laptop (Dell XPS, 2gb Ram) so that I can start doing the tutorials (for SQL and VB/VWS). I dont want any connection to the internet - i only want to have it on my local pc.

I'm confused as I 'm sure I read that I dont need to have the IIS service running, and that it wont require a server...however, I keep reading that IIS, and a server is a MUST, and for installing SQLE2005.

I'm so confused, and frustrated that I dare'nt install SQLE2005...

...Can anyone put me out of my misery???

All advice greatly appreciated.

Does A User Have To Have SQL Server Installed In Order For Windows Form To Connect To SQL 2005 Express DB

Apr 23, 2008

Hello,

I am creating a windows application that is not going to be used in a controlled environment like a LAN or some other network, so I want to include a local database in the install of this app. Ideally, I would like to use SQL 2005 Express like you would MSDE or Access, but I am not sure if the user must have SQL Server installed on their machine in order for this to work and I don't have a machine without it to test on.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Derek

ODBC Connection For Client Application To SQL Server 2005 Express Installed On Network Computer

May 5, 2006

Hi All,

I've developed an application that connects to a SQL Server 2005 Express database. I created a DSN to connect to the database through ODBC. Currently, I am testing locally and everything works fine.

I would now like to install my application on another workstation and connect remotely to the database located on my development machine.

The client workstation does not have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on it because I would just like my application to connect remotely by creating the DSN and using ODBC. What I'm missing here are the database drivers. The "SQL Natice Client" is not available on this client workstation. How can I deploy the necessary drivers with my installation file so that I may create the required DSN name using the SQL Native Client driver?

Thanks!

Sql Server 2005 Dev Edition Error - Unexpected Error While Updating Installed Files

Feb 14, 2007

I am attempting to install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition onto a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine, but unfortunately each time that I attempt to install I receive an error message in the summary log as follows:

Product : Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Product Version: 9.00.1399.06
Install : Failed
Log File : C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup
Last Action : InstallFinalize
Error String : The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Updating Installed Files.
The error is : Fatal error during installation.
Error Number : 29528

There is probably a simple solution for the issue but unfortunately I am unaware of what it is? I can€™t tell if the issue is specific to registry settings, security, file types, etc€¦ The information below surrounds the error w/in the log, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks, Jennifer

I want to find whether SQL Server 2005 x86 is installed or SQL Server 2005 x64 is installed programatically(Any API would do.) If anyone can recommend a registry key that I can rely on find whether it is a 32 bit or 64 bit SQL Server that would suffice.

Do Not Have Instance Of SQL Express 2005 Installed

Oct 8, 2006

I am attempting to install SQL Express 2005 on a laptop that already has MS Sql Server installed.

I downloaded the SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT.EXE from Microsoft's website and let it go through its installation routine accepting all the default answers.

When I open SQL Server Management Studio Express, I can only connect to the SQL 2000 instance. I have issued the 'SELECT @@VERSION' command, and When I try to connect to the instance COMPUTERNAMESQLEXPRESS, the following error message is displayed:
Cannot connect to YOUR-F8A010A9D0SQLEXPRESS.
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure my be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server)

When I go to remove SQL Express 2005 using the add/remove programs, there is a check box that says
"Remove SQL Server 2005 instance components"
and in the box underneath where it lists all the instances it says: "No instances have been installed"

How do I create an instance for SQL Server 2005?

Thank you

Can I Use .dbp Files With Visual Studio 2005 + SQL Express Server?

Feb 7, 2008

Alright I'm using Visual Studio 2005 with SP1 and SQL Server Express 2005. I've downloaded all the updates on Windows Update. I'm joining a project late and trying to get the C#/SQL web-app up and running. My project manager has it built with Visual Studio 2005 pro and a full blown corporate license for the SQL server, but I don't have access to the SQL server quite yet.

When I try to open the "LLRCWEB.sln" file I receive the following error:

"The application for project 'C:Documents and Settings......LLRCSQL.dbp' is not installed.
Make sure the application for the project type (.dbp) is installed."

Has anyone encountered this problem before? Are there any plug-ins or particular application versions you know are required to handle '.dbp' files, or will I have to Install Visual Studio 2005 Pro and get access to the SQL server?

Any input would be greatly appreciated

Considerations... Backing Up IIS 6 Web Files And SQL Server 2005 Express Database

Mar 1, 2006

Anyone know of a good "free" way to back up web files and SQL Server 2005 Express Database?
I was able to use Windows Server 2003 Backup utility to back up the folder where the Databases were stored, as well as the web files, with no errors.
But I have heard a lot of discussion that you can't just simply backup SQL Server data files?
I'm wondering how sound the backup I've created is...
Any suggestions?

Bought And Installed VS2005 Professional - There Is No Management Studio Got Installed In The SQL Express.!

Jan 26, 2006

Hi Friends,
I have a question. At my home computer i downloaded and installed VWD. As usual it also installed Sqlexpress as part of the installation(i checked the option). Later on i downloaded Management studio separately so i am fine with my home computer as every thing is free.
But at work we decided to develop application using VS 2005 and Sqlserver 2005. So we bought and  installed VS2005 professional edition at work and it also installed Sqlexpress during the installation as a defualt desktop engine. I am fine with that too. But i am not understing where do i get the Management studio? Is it some thing i could get it off the web for free or what? I am not sure we would have an option while installing the VS 2005 professional that also does install management studio and we need to check that option. I am not sure if we could get the management studion off the web for free and and evelop applications.
 
 
Please advise. Thanks -L

VS2005 Error: Connection To SQL Server Files (*.mdf) Requires SQL Server Express 2005 To Function Properly.

Mar 6, 2008



Good Evening All,

I've serached this forum and Google'd for a resolution to this issue, to no avail. Here's the scenario:
I'm running VS 2005 on Windows Media Center laptop and need to create ASP.net membership for my web application built using VB. I have SQL Server Developer installed with instance name MSSQLSERVER. Previously, I uninstalled SQL Express and installed Developer edition and can now open and utilize Management Studio.

Now, when I try to create a new SQL Server database in my solution's App_Data directory, I receive the above error. I already changed instance name in VS2005 per Tools-Options-Database Tools-Data Connections to MSSQLSERVER.

Could someone provide me with a list of procedures to ensure proper setup of VS2005 with SQL Server Developer Edition?

Thanks much for your help.

Can't Start SS Business Intelligence Installed From SS 2005 Express Edition Toolkit

Apr 22, 2006

I downloaded and installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit. Installs completed successfully, and I can launch the SS Management Studio, but when I launch SS Business Intelligence Development Studio, I get message saying "Windows is searching for devenv.exe". When I search for this file I don't find it on my hard drive.

I thought I'd reinstall the SS Express Edition Toolkit, but I can't find this application in the Control Panel Installed Programs list, so I can't uninstall it.

Any ideas as to how I can get SS Business Intelligence Studio working?

SQL Server Express Installed But No SQL Server Express Service Present!?!

Mar 14, 2007

Hi

I'm a newbie and I have a problem that i can't solve despite sitting here all day trying to wortk it out.

I have installed SQL Server Express 2005 along with the associated toolkit. Previous to that i installed MS Visulal studio 2005, .NET 2.0 and MSDN.

The problemn is that it appears despite installing everything i don't have SQLExpress services running on my PC. I have admin rights, it installed okay but there is nothing to connect to.

When i run "sqlcmd.exe -s (local)SQLExpress -E" from the command prompt i get the following message:

HResult 0x2, Level 16, State 1
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : An error has occurred while establi
shing a connection to the server. 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.

When i run SQL Server Configuration there is no "SQLExpress" service present under "SQL Server 2005 Servcies" in SQL Server Configuration dialog; just a message saying:

"there are no items to show in this view"

When i run Surface Area Configuration i get the following message:


TITLE: Surface Area Configuration
------------------------------

No SQL Server 2005 components were found on the specified computer. Either no components are installed, or you are not an administrator on this computer. (SQLSAC)

------------------------------
BUTTONS:

OK
------------------------------


If you can shed any light on this id be extreamly grateful as i'd been here for hours before stumbling across the toolkit (why this wasn't bundled i don't know) only to realise once i had it that the SQLExpress service isn't running :(

Cheers,

Nick.

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?

Can You Install MSDE2000 After You Have Installed SQL Server Express?

Jul 26, 2006

I am aware that instances of both can exist on the same machine.

But I assume that is when a different instance of SQL Server Express is installed with an existing instance of MSDE2000

Many moons ago, when the various flavours and betas of SQL Express became available, I upgraded from MSDE2000 - didn't think I would need it again.

I now have an application, Sony Vegas 6, which uses MSDE2000 for it's Media Manager. According to their support it won't install to SQL Server Express 2005.

When I try to install MSDE2000, it always fails with "Setup failerd to configure server..." and rolls back.

In the event log, there is an entry

The description for Event ID ( 19011 ) in Source ( MSSQL$SONY_MEDIAMGR )
cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote
computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this
description; see Help and Support for details. The following
information is part of the event: (SpnRegister) : Error 1355.

I have down all the usual things like uninstalling SQL Server Express 2005 (using control panel and msiexec /x {GUID}), patching the registry etc etc

The result is always the same.

The Sony Media Manager is not important and I probably won't use it but it's annoying the hell out of me - I've always claimed, over a good few years, that there was no computer problem that I couldn't finally solve, but presently this has got me beat and I feel undone!!!!!!! :-)
