I am using VB.net to build ASP.net pages. I finally decided it was time to start using SQL server based code. So, I installed MSDE....or so I thought.
I have the server Icon in the bottom systray and it's green and seems to be running.
I have been able to use Microsoft Access' Database Upgrade Wizard to create BB.adp file.
An in VB.net I see a master.dbo connection in Server Explorer.
But I can't figure out how to access the database via the SQL server. When I right click on Server Explorer....the Create a New SQL database menu item is greyed out.
My concern is that my installation is not complete and/or I don't know how to locate and verify the server.
was installing MSDE for use with Web matrix thot had done all correctly ie the setup.exe sapwd=xxxxx securitymode=sql from the command prompt was told that setup has failed where is the problem
I had partitioned my harddrive to have both XP PRO and Red Hat. Got fed up with all that and so used Partition Magic 8.0 to repartition the drive to be one 16 Gig drive. I still have over 8 Gig left on it even after installing VS .NET on it.
I have successfully installed Visual Studio .NET Pro 2003 on it and I can now write programs in VB and see it on my intranet at c:/wwwroot/.
I am now trying to install MSDE 2000 for Developers Using VS .NET. I have downloaded the file from Microsoft and then when I go to install it on my hard drive it tells me it cannot; I have to free up 92.44 Megs for it to be able to extract it to my c drive.
I am a newbee and any help will be GREATLY appreciated!!
I'm trying to setup the ASP.Net forum on my local XP Pro PC and am having problems with MSDE security. I had an old version of MSDE on the PC and uninstalled it and downloaded/setup the version on the download page with the forum.
Looking at the MSDE readme I did the Windows Authentication mode instead of the mised mode - was that wrong?
When setup tries to setup the DB I get the log entry: Determined SQL Server version (8.00.194).
[Fail] Could not add ASPNET user to SQL Server. SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
The server is up and running and I have already used another tool to setup its DB so the server is up an running and functioning fine.
I have search around on the net about MSDE persmissions but the hits have not been helpful - they usually refer to client tools not provided with MSDE. Even if I could find instructions on setting up a user the ASPForumSetup doesn't say what user name or permissons are needed.
I can't find any spot in the XP Pro environment to setup access permissions to MSDE - is finding that the key? My login is a member of the Administrators group.
I'm leaning C# and ASP.NET at the same time using the book "Microsoft ASP.NET Programming with Microsoft Visual C# .NET Step by Step". In Appendix C, P 577, it says to locate setup.exe under …Microsoft Visual Studio .NETSetupMSDE and "run setup.exe to install MSDE."
This was my first mistake, because there are more recent versions available with security patches (for the slammer virus). I have been unable to successfully update the old version. The install program for MSDE has got to be a hackers delight because only a hacker can make it work. I decided to uninstall the old version of MSDE 2000 and install the latest download from the MSDN website. The new version would get most of the files installed and then rollback the install, removing all the files. When I tried to reinstall the old version, it did the same thing. At least the new version requires a password parameter for the sa user. The bad news is that the new password is ignored. Since I already installed the first version with a blank sa password by running setup.exe with no parameters the password will remain blank until I change it using the user friendly osql command line utility. More about osql later…
Here is how I solved the rollback problem:
I first (after many hours trying to modify the registry to clean up the mess Windows uninstaller left there) used the command line switch /L*V <your logfile name> to get a verbose log file. I noticed a property listed called "Disablerollback" this was set to 0. So, I ran setup on the command line as below (all one line):
>setup DisableRollback=1 /L*V "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio .NETSetupMSDEsetupbat.log" SAPWD="ignored password"
The setup still failed, but its tracks were preserved for XP to complain about on system restart. I then restarted the system and logged in. XP threw an error dialog box with the message "Your server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (unknown package ID)…" I clicked OK and waited a few extra minutes for XP to finish logging me in.
After logging in, I closed the Service Manger from the taskbar notification area. I then deleted the folders 80, and MSSQL (name of default instance) from the target install directory. Finally, I ran setup.exe again as shown:
>setup /L*V "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio .NETSetupMSDEsetupgood.log" SAPWD="ignored password"
This time, after restarting, my old MSDE worked. This approach seems to only work with the first old version of MSDE that was shipped with Visual Studio .NET. I still have yet to figure out how to upgrade and get MSDE to work again.
Once you get MSDE to work, here are some tips on how to administer it using the osql command tool. To change the sa password do the following (use null for a blank password): >osql -U sa Password: 1> sp-password @old=null, @new='newpassword', @loginame='sa' 2> go Password has been changed 3> quit
On page 113 of the authors' first attempt with the book "Microsoft ASP.NET Programming…", the hacks wrote: Set up the SQL Server session state database by running the InstallSQLState.sql batch (located in …) against the SQL Server you plan to use. (For more information about running batch statements, check with your database administrator or the SQL Server Books Online.)
Here is how to do it with osql:
> osql -S MSSQLSERVER -U sa -i InstallSQLState.sql
For less characters than it took to write the last parenthetical sentence, they could have just given the same example I supplied here.
If you want a graphical interface to administer you MSDE server, try downloading the small package for "Microsoft SQL Web Data Administrator" from Microsoft's website. This even comes with a modern installer. Here are some tips on how to connect to your locally installed MSDE using this utility:
The main dialog just requires that you click the start button. A login page comes up. To log in as sa, do the following:
? Click the "SQL Login" radio button. ? Under "Please enter a SQL Server name:" fill in the following text boxes: ? Username: sa ? Password: [your password | leave blank if no password is set] ? Server: (local)
This should get you to the server tools page. Click "Security", then Logins. Now, on the Logins page, you can add new users. If you install MSDE for mixed mode, you can add "Windows Integrated" user accounts. This best since you won't have to put passwords in your code to allow database access to these users. To add a user, click on "Create New Login". Set Authentication Method to "Windows Integrated" in the combo box. For Login Name you need to use the form <computername><username> . For example, "MSSQLServerDan".
If you did like I did, and installed MSDE in SQL login mode only, you can do the following registry hack to change it to mixed authentication mode:
1. Locate either of the following subkeys (depending on whether you installed MSDE as the default MSDE instance or as a named instance: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftMSSqlserverMSSqlServer
I have extracted the files from the Microsoft download and am all ready to run SETUP for the MSDE 2000 release A for Visual Studio .NET 2003 Pro.
Is there anything I need to know about or run or configure for it all to work?? I am a newbee and I am the only user on my XP Pro machine under Administrator.
Hi folks, i need ur guidance. I have a few DDL and DML scripts which i want to be automatically applied during MSDE setup; or an .MDF file be attached automatically. Please suggest an easier way!
I am running a number of SQL instances on my PC. Within the network, I have think server with various System Center components. For compatibility reasons, some features of System Center 2012 R2 had to be delegated to different SQL databases. My question is, because there is now more than one IP address on my system, and each instance of SQL is assigned to its own IP, is there a way to setup DNS and SQL so the namespace points to the desired IP address? For Instance:
MSSQL2008 instance is set to run on = 11.12.13.1 MSSQL2012 is set to run on = 11.12.13.2 IN DNS: A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.1 A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.2
If I want to use MSSQL2008 by specifying Mike-PC as the DNS name, how would I do that with 100% accuracy? If there is another way to get the job done, I am more than willing to approach this differently.
I have XP Pro SP2 with MDAC 2.8.1022. It had a problem so I tried to reinstall MDAC and got a Fatal Setup Error. This setup does not support installing on this operating system. I downloaded MDAC 2.8 1177 and get the same error.
I thought of uninstalling/reinstalling SP2, but this is a 2 month old Dell Latitude 610 with factory installed XP. There is no Windows Service Pack 2 option listed in the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
There's some other strange things, so I wonder if they are related.
1) I have Paul set up as an administrator account. Some folders like MSSQL show that account with no permissions. I grant all the permissions to Paul for that folder. I come back later and the permissions are gone.
2) I deleted 20 files in Explorer, but 7 of them did not go away. I deleted those 7 again and they instatnly reappeared. I deleted those 7 again and then they finally went away.
3) I get a slow reaction time for things like Windows Explorer and opening and closing programs. This is suprising since it has 2 gig of RAM and 2.3 Gig processor. Could it be a memory handling problem that's causing OS problems. Probably, the memory didn't handle the OS installation well and the whole system is compromised now.
We're doing upgrades from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014. This is blocked due to RS is installed but not configured. Our desired action is to uninstall RS and proceed with the upgrade. But when setuparp.exe is raised, it does not list all the features on the 'Select Features' page. In fact, it only lists the last 2 shared features (SQ Client Connectivity SDK and Microsoft Sync Framework). However, all items appear to be listed on the 'Select Instance' page including RS. I've seen this issue on 2 of our SQL 2008 R2 Servers already.
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters. I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is "text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test, I simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
I'm trying to install SQL Server Management studio 2012 on my Windows 7 (x64) standalone laptop. When I click "New SQL stand-alone installation..." it runs a Setup Support Rules check and always fails "Setup Account Privileges". I've looked into the error and I keep getting that I need to change security rules but I don't have that option in window 7. How do I get around this without having to resort to a computer running Windows Server?
I have Visual Studio 2013 premium installed along with Localdb v11. I just want to connect and manage my database engine through SSMS when developing any application.

I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"
We currently have the problem, that all our machines are produced with the same name and afterwards the name is changed. So we have the problem that the checksum key for the MSDE isn't valid anymore. As MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem. Does anyone know a solution for this problem ?? A program recalculating the cheksum ??
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this this question but I'll give it a shot.
The only db development that I have ever done is in MS Access. I have a project at work that is being accomplished in VB and I need a db engine to use as the back end. Visual studio came with a copy of MSDE. Is this tool worth using or should I invest in mySQL? Are there any advantages to using MSDE over mySQL?
I have tried to install SQL Server 2005 Standard edition with CLUSTERING. I faced a problem and everything rolls back.

I currently have a SQL Server cluster setup with a Primary DB Server SERVER1 and the Standby server SERVER2. SERVER1 has been failing more than normal is the past few weeks and its takes upto 5 mins for SERVER2 realize that SERVER1 is down. I am looking for a better way to implement a backup server on production with minimum downtime. Please adivse..
I run setup using GUI. It upgrades all components of the existing installation w/out any problems except the last component. That is, it proceeds with the installation of SQL Server Database Serices and at the end fails to shut down the SQL Server and aborts the installation reporting the following:
"Service 'Computer_NameSQLEXPRESS' could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services. The error code is (16386)".
I am running Windows XP SP2 with both .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0 installed on it. I am logged in as a system administrator.
The most puzzling to me things are:
- the setup starts AND STOPS w/out any problems SQL Server Reporting Services and SQL Server VSS Writer (thus finding enough privileges for both).
- the setup starts the SQL Server w/out any problems (thus it finds enough privileges to START A SYSTEM SERVICE) and then fails as described above 'lucking privileges".
During installation before failing the setup displays following:
"Run as Normal User. RANU instance Shutdwon in progress: MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS". The "normal user" puzzles me too, unless the SQL Server itself is meant here.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I can provide the installation log file as well.
My uncle runs a small networking company and has extra licenses for Windows 2003 Server as well as SQL Server 2000. Since I just graduated from college and have started working as a database programmer (for a different company) I'd like to setup a small server at home to learn more about SQL (as well as networking, but SQL is my primary concern). I know I can setup SQL Server 2000 on my main PC, but I'd still like to set everything up in a server environment.
So, what I'm wondering is if any books (or web sites?) exist that walk you through setting up Windows 2003 Server and SQL Server 2000. I've actually set these up before (it's not very complicated) but I'm not sure if I did it the "correct" way.
Ideally if any books exist on O'Reilly's Safari Bookshelf that would be even better.
I am having problems installing the SQL Server Compact Server Tools on my Vista laptop to allow me to connect my Mobile Device running SQL Server Compact directly to my SQL Server 2005 database through IIS.
I have done this successfully with an XP machine so I'm not sure if it is Vista problem or not.
I have installed SQL Server 2005 SP2. When I try to install the replication server tools (Sqlce30setupen.msi), in "System Configuration Check" window I get a failure on "SQL Server requirement" that says: "You must first install the Replication Components for SQL Server 2000 SP 3a or higher or the SQL Server 2005 Replication Components" and the client components are full instaled in my computer.
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 been unable to install SQL Express 2005 Server on my Windows 2003 Server (with SP2 installed). I keep getting an error message saying that Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 is not installed.
Click here for image
So, I downloaded Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe) but whenever I try to install it I get an error message saying that "the Service Pack version of this system is newer than the update you are applying" and that there is no need to install the update and it stops there.
Click here for image
Is there a workaround to this? How can I get Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 installed? I tried going to the Windows Update site, I already have everything installed and I even started the Windows Installer service manually. Has anyone else experienced this?
How can I get SQL Server 2005 Express installed if not how can I install SQL Server 2000 on tihs machine? The only reason I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 is because wanted to try it so I uninstalled SQL Server 2000 now I can no longer install SQL Server 2000 again because it won't let me because of the SP2 patch.
I have 2 networked PC's both running vista ultimate
1st is Laptop and is running its own SQL Server at laptoplaptopSQL 2nd is Desktop and is running its own SQL Server at desktopdesktopSQL
Now both machines have seperate windows login accounts.
When I go SQL Server management studio I go to browse and each machine can see the other machines SQL Server, but when I go to login I get SQL Login falied for users" The user is not associaed with a trusted SQL server connection".
So I then go to logins new login and try to add my other pc's user account. The problem I see is that when I go to search and then location it only shows its own PC's location and not the location of my other networked pc? So if I am on Desktop and in my theory want to add laptopuser to the desktop SQL Server logins I get:
"create failed for login laptopuser
An exception occurred while executing Transact SQL statement laptopuser is not a valid windows NT name. give the complete name
I have tried several times to install SQL server onto an NT4.0 server which is more than capable of having more than one application to cope with, however, when going through the install procedure the programm stops with the following message
DR.Watson Access Violation Setup.exe In address :
Any hints as to where the problems lies or point me inthe right direction would be appreciated.
I have visual studio 2008 sql express, vista ultimate is on my computer however I have not installed sql express on my computer I wish to install sql standard 2005 sp1 I have read microsoft's article 934164 before installing sql standard I have a couple of questions installing sql server standard edition see sql-articles.com -installing sql 2005
sql instances screen- can I choose default installation? sql services screen do I need to choose domain name(I am a small business, I do not own a server, I wish to use a third party to use sql reporting services . I have not registered my domain name
Windows authentication- I wish to use mixed mode. I wish to configure user account later by stopping sql services and then installing sql sp2 (after windows authentication screen) described in microsoft article 934164 do I need to configure the server?(next screen after windows authentication) I want to avoid a system reboot...... Is there anyway that I can make sure all the parts are installed on sql server and sql sp2? Is it adviseable to configure my administrative account at the end of sql sp2? How do this work? I just want to be prepared...... Thank you
