the service is already automatic, but when starting Windows XP MSDE "asks" to be installed correctly, run setup again and as you can imagine i did so. I can't find the answer
Hi, I am a VB programmer and we have a VB application that uses Access as its db (~500MB mdb file) using DAO. We want to upgrade to MSDE/Sql Server because we have clients that will use around 5 connections to the db and others with no more then 20 users. I was asked to build a simple test program in Vb under MSDE that will enable us to test few clients working simultaneously (I have few days for that). There is so much material on MSDE and we just ordered an MSDE Developer guide book from the Amazon that will arrive in a few days. The amount of material is confusing like hell and I didn't work with ADO before, I don't even know if to work with Access 2000 or with a different db, can you advice ? Do you know of a good sample that show a beginner like me how to access MSDE from VB using ADO? If you do please please advice it will ease the pressure and the days are numbered. Thanks a lot.
I try to install MSDE as a new instance (SQL2) on my computer with Windows 2000 Professional, but a problem occurs and instalaltion does not complete successfully. I am an administrator of the computer. The application log contains the following errors descriptions: "The SYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesMSSQL$SQL2Perfo rmance key could not be opened or accessed in order to install counter strings.The Win32 status returned by the call is in the Record Data as DWORD 0. " and "Installing the performance counter strings for MSSQL$SQL2 failed. The Error code is DWORD 0 of the Record Data. "
Installation of MSDE 2000 fails on 64-bit Windows Vista (Build 5308).
The error message is "Setup failed to configure the server.Please refer the error logs for more information". No error log can be found on the machine at the time of installation. Please let me know if anyone else has encountered this problem?
Is it possible to install MSDE 2000 on 64-bit Windows Vista(Build 5308)?
Please help,I am trying to install MSDE 2000 so that Backup exec will run on thisserver. I have gotten so far as to find an entry in my SQLSTP.TXT filethat says that c:mssql7 was detected so the install fails.Now, to start with there is no directory called C:mssql7 on thisserver. I have gone through all MS articles on manual removal of SQLserver and instances. I have searched the registry for mssql7 andremoved any keys that matched, as per MS article I have searched onSQLBOOT.dll and it is not present anywhere on my system and I still getthe same results.2:07:44 Begin Action: Detection12:07:44 SQL Server version already installed: 7.00.62312:07:44 Previous Install SQL Path: C:MSSQL712:07:44 Previous Install SQL Data Path: C:MSSQL712:07:44 End Action Detection12:07:44 Begin Action: ODBCLocked12:07:44 End Action ODBCLocked12:07:44 GetDefinition returned: 112:07:44 Previous SQL Server ProductType: MSDE [0x4]12:07:44 This combination of Package and Operating System allows a fullproduct install.can anyone think of anything here..what else could be causing the server to think there is a previousversion of SQL 7 on this box!!!?
After installing WebMatrix on my computer, I installed Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) in my computer, but I can't see MSDE on my Start menu. I am really new to this and don't know how to open MSDE, so I could work with it. Nothing displayed after I installed MSDE, such as the typical "Installation is complete."
Sorry for such a silly question, but please help me. How can I open MSDE from the Start menu. I have windows XP Home.
I have spent megabucks buying a book called MSDE Bible and they have started the book by not telling how you create a database (with all the exact steps required so you can actually work with it. I find this highly unprofessional, and wonder if the authors David C Walls and Denise M Gosnell actually know anything about teaching. (One enormally teaches step 1 before step 2 where I come from - obviously not in some places). Anyway, later on in the book there is an example on creating a database.
My problem is that it does not work because I do not understand what is required in terms of security clearance / user names / passwords / user authority. (They also assume you know all about that too).
All I have done is installed MSDE 2000 Rel A and am now trying to use it. The only question I was asked during the install was to define a "Strong Password" and thats all.
I am now attempting to
1) Create a Database 2) Create a table with some fields 3) See if I can access the database
Now is that too much to ask ?
Here is the code that supposedly creates the database:
The problem is in the connect - something to do with security of some sort that is completely overlooked.
dim oMSDEserver dim oDatabase dim oDataFile dim oLogFile
set oMSDEserver = CreateObject("SQLDMO.SQLServer") set oDatabase = CreateObject("SQLDMO.Database") set oDataFile = CreateObject("SQLDMO.DBFile") set oLogFile = CreateObject("SQLDMO.LogFile")
While installing the MSDE I get the folowing error: A storng SA password is required forsecurity reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same. Refer to readme for more details. Setup will now exit.
Hi, I have installed the MSDE and use mixed mode authenticaton. The SQL Server Agent will not start due to login failures. Normally, I would use the Enterprise Manager Managment wizard to correct the System Account and Connection Credentials.
Can anyone tell me how to achieve this using OSQL?
how i can do it?Under Xp/2000, i write a application that stop/start this serices, butunder Win98, how i do it?Exists a method via SqlServer or a dos command to stop/start the MSDEprogram?Thanks a lotTomas--Questa è una firma automatica di MesNews.Sito: http://mesnews.no-ip.com

If I am going to install MSDE 2000, do i need to install sql server..??? I'm newbie in installing msde, After my installation what should I expect from my desktop to determine that MSDE already installed? Is it somewhat the same with sql server with Enterprise manger?? Im familiar in using Sql server but not in MSDE. Do I can make table and manage it accordingly using MSDE alone??? Or in order for me to create table I need to installed SQL Server..???Any information is highly appreciated.

Hi All I am having a little trouble setting up MSDE. I downloaded the most recent version of MSDE (sql2ksp3.exe) from the Microsoft site to my desktop. I double clcked on the files to extract them, it created a sql2ksp3 dir on c drive. I went to command prompt and entered the following in the c:/sql2ksp3/msde directory: setup.exe DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 SAPWD=**REMOVED** then enter. The setup wizard started then finished after about 30 seconds. I can't find MSDE anywhere as program just a folder with the original setup programs. I know this is a total gummy question, can anyone point me in the right direction. I didn't have MSDE or SQL Server prevoiusly on the system. Thanks in advance P
Hi all, I'm trying to install MSDE in silent mode and without using a .ini file (on a machine with windows 2000 server and SQL 2000 already insatalled). At the end of the installation, the machine reboot automatically, but I need to stop this reboot. Someone can help me? Thanks all
I've jumped over from the sister site xtremevbtalk.com to ask the question:
Has anyone ever seen an issue where when installing MSDE, during the installation the pc reboots of its own accord?
After the MDAC is installed as part of the installation the pc reboots and upon boot up, MSDE is not in the program files directory. Instead it's sitting in the C: root. This occurs for a straight MSDE install or with an Instancename install.
There does exist a Microsoft SQL Server folder in the Program Files but it is incomplete. It's missing the Binn folder. Also, there is no reference to MSDE in the Add/Remove programs tool but ther MSDE service does show up in the Services. However I cannot start these as they are pointing to the correct location.
To date, I have tried removing the instance and installation from the registry. I have turned off all AntiVirus software. I have ensured I am using an Admin user profile. I have tried a blank sa passowrd for the installation. all of this is to no avail.
I am seriously stuck with this now and I am in dire need of a resolution so if anybody has any ideas or has seen this one before, I love some help.
Hi I'm trying to install MSDE 2000 on my WIN XP machine using the setup.exe, but it always gives me error saying "set strong sa password" after the message " Please Wait while windows configures Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine"
I also tried installing it by command line command below, it shows that its configuring and installing software, but disappears in the middle. I see the SqlServer agent installed and also folders inside C:Program FilesMicrosoft Sql Server folder, but SQL is still not listed in the installed programs
Hi, I've a problem with connecting to my local MSDE installation. I'm using Windows XP Pro SP1 and logged in as administrator.
I've installed MSDE without further options (=setup SAPWD="password"). After that I installed some examples from Microsofts '101 Visual Basic.NET applications' using 'setup SAPWD="password" INSTANCENAME="NetSDK"'. Now I have 2 services running, 'MSSQLServer' and 'MSSQL$NetSDK'.
Then I followed the examples from a german book and created a Dataset etc. to access data from the Northwind database. The following line is created as SQLConnection1:
When I right-click on the SQLDataAdapter1 and select 'Preview Data' everything works fine and I could see 9 Employee records. But when I then start the application it could not connect to the server. The error appears already in the first line, a simple connection call: Me.SqlConnection1.Open()
Please could someone help me solve this issue? I already read several postings, here, on other sides, and on MSDN. I found information about a user account 'APSNET' which I am not allowed to implement due to security reasons. I also found the information about named pipes and TCP/IP, and so I added 'Network Library =dbmssocn' to the end of the SQLConnection-string, but with no success :-(
I am installtion MSDE on a Windows XP Pro. The install gets through to 5 seconds and freezes. THis sits for about an hour and nothing happens. The Microsoft SQL Server folder is created, but the services are not created. We tried to reinstall many times and removed the registry key before each reinstall (after uninstalling and rebooting). Any ideas about what could be wrong?
after installing sp1 for sql server 2005 the sql server integration services did not start. and i can`t start them manually. the installation succeeded without problems (both sql server and sp1)
the only problem was with installing sql server 2005. in the sql server configurations manager the following protocols were disabled:
- named pipes
- tcp/ip
- via
- shared memory was enabled
is this a problem. because in the "how to verify installation of sql server" is written, that tcp/ip has to be enabled. however i can manually enable it.
i can`t start the sql server integration services manually. so what can i do? i also tried reinstall sql server but i do get the same error.
Hi all, I know read all the posts already up on this subject... Hear me out. Can anyone give an easy to understand, and I mean easy method for installing MSDE and configuring it so that I can connect to my server using Visual Studio.NET C#. I am having no end of troubles and I don't really understand why. I can log into osql using osql -S BIGJ -E that gets me to 1> No problems so far but when I try to connect using SqlConnection("Server=BIGJ;DataBase=registeredUsers;Integrated Security=SSPI"); I am having no luck and I don't really understand why Here is the stack trace [SqlException: Login failed for user 'BIGJASPNET'.] System.Data.SqlClient.ConnectionPool.GetConnection(Boolean& isInTransaction) System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionPoolManager.GetPooledConnection(SqlConnectionString options, Boolean& isInTransaction) System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open() ADOAccess.WebForm1.Button1_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in c:inetpubwwwrootadoaccesswebform1.aspx.cs:52 System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument) System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain() I think I am not understanding the fundamentals of SQL server or something so if anyone can help or point me to a good tutorial that will help me not only solve my problem but also understand what is going onas well. Thanks everyone

I have been trying to install MSDE for a week. An appraisal program I need to set up uses it. I have been running changes and believe that I am close.

I did not find anything different in a setup on a laptop that works. I'm unsure where to look.
Hi, I have a generally well working silent installer of SQL Server sp1, that installs a named of SQL Express then runs some create database scripts on it.
I have a customer for whom this fails. It appears that the SQL server service does not start. When I tell the client (non-computer literate!) to start it manually through Admin Tools>Service, a message appears saying "Access to the path denied", and seemingly doesn't specify the path of the denial.
Has anyone encountered this, or is anyone able to hazard a guess as to the cause of this issue.
I have Vista x64 and I had been fighting SQL Server for a few days and yesterday I decided for reinstallation. Unfortunately now I am not able to instal the server back!
