MSDE Install Hangs -- Any Ideas?
Apr 30, 2004
I installed MSDE. Then I changed the name of my machine. Then I uninstalled MSDE, so I could create a new, properly-named instance.
Now, when I try to install, the installer gets about 75% of the way through the "gathering information" stage, and hangs, every time. I have to kill it with Task Manager.
Help! What can I do?
Extra info: I thought maybe the problem was related to Norton AV, so I uninstalled that. While that was uninstalling, the installer announced that there was a "suspended" install of MSDE that needed to be cleared. So I said, yes, clear it. How do I find out if there are other suspended installs in progress?
Thanks...

First off, let me say it took me nearly all day to get this working. When you download the sql2decksp3.exe you might think it install like any other program. No. This exe simply unpacks the setup files. The actual setup program, setup.exe must be run from a DOS command prompt.... so you've got to look up the correct command line parameters in the sp3reademe.htm file. Something like:
setup INSTANCENAME="InstanceName" SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD="AStrongSAPwd"
No problem so far, but then when I go to run the setup.exe with the correct parameters the install goes fine until the last 5 seconds. Then hangs. Again and again. The install program keep getting hung up just before the finish. Each time I had to uninstall and reinstall-- 6 times. When if it hangs you've got to break out with the Task Manager, then do an uninstall from the Control Panel... if... an entry there was created. It usually is.
I tried everything I could think of and then did a search here. There were a few messages. The only one who actually got past this problem said he deleted all references for "Microsoft SQL" in the registry. I tried that too. It didn't work for me. That setup hung in the very same place. Then instead of breaking out and starting again, I tried shutting the machine down, while the setup was hung, thinking that maybe after a restart the installation might continue AND and that point the install completed.
Hope these notes help the next person who runs into the same problem. I also tried putting the modem on standby and disabling Norton anti-virus. Alone that did help, but when I tried all this stuff together... finally at 4:34 PM, I was able to establish a connection, from both VB.NET and with a great FREE MS SQL Manager at http://sqlmanager.net/products/mssql/manager/download
Now I can start. For some reason, the way I think... I can't do any coding until the entire database spec is first set up. Then you write all the add, edit, display and sort form, windows. When designing web applications, you design the database first, then each web form preforms some unique operation or reference on the remote database. I think that's the way it works.
Hey! Hope this helps others.

I have been trying all day to install SQL 7.0 on an NT 4.0 SP6a server. It gets to the point where it wants to load MDAC and just goes out to lunch. No errors are generated and the rest of the system does not appear to be affected. However, the only way to end the install is to end task it. Has anyone run into this?

Hi,
I hope someone out there can help, cos i really need it.
We have a 2 node cluster + SAN that will be used as our SQL 2000 servers.
We have setup the cluster ok, and have tested failover with no problems.
However, when we try to install SQL 2000, it just hangs.
I have copied the enterprise cd to the local drive, and am installing from there.
We run the setup.bat, create the Virtual Server, and assign an ip address. At this point, it just hangs.
Upon checking the SQLSTP.LOG file, this is the last entry in the log:
Begin Action : DialogShowSdDiskGroups
I have found the Microsoft Technet Article 293788, which gives me a possible soloution, but we dont have any Resource Names or Groups that have the same name.
Can someone PLEASE give me an answer on how to fix this, or at least point me in the right direction.
Many Thanks
Darren

Just purchased a new server, and am trying to install SQL Server 2005 standard, 64 bit. I'm running Windows Server 2005 r2 64 bit.
Setup support files installs fine.
System configuration passes all 14 checks.
Then it moves to install and just hangs there. Eventually, perhaps maybe after 20-30 minutes does it create a message saying that the Install has failed to respond. Retry or cancel.

I am experiencing extremely slow behavior (no activity for > 30 mins) during a SS 2005 Dev Edition install on XP SP2 on various steps during the SQL Server Database Services step - e.g. during "Setting File Security". This is very annoying.
I've found many postings on this issue indicating that OS calls in this part of the install (e.g. LookupAccountName()) are network speed dependent.
Does Microsoft have any plans to rework this part of the install to rid the need of these calls? I really wish the install would be possible without these calls - it's driving me crazy monitoring this for hours. We've got to roll SS2005 out to a couple hundred developers eventually and this isn't going to cut it.
Thanks for your time on this matter.
Best Regards,
Mike

I am trying to install SQL Server 2012 onto an already configured and validated windows failover cluster (server 2012) but the process is hanging after installing the setup files.
The last entry in the log is:
running discovery on remote machine
and I've left it hanging like this for 4 hours and nothing happens.

HELP!
For the past several weeks, I have been trying to install SQL Server 2005 on a Win XP SP2 PC. Regardless of the options I choose (SQL Engine + Client Tools, Client Tools only, etc.) when the installation gets to the end of the Client Tools setup and the setup status displays "Removing Backup Files", my PC appears to hang.
For a period of time, there is a fair amount of HD activity which gives me the impression that files are in fact being deleted, but then there is no HD activity and the installation appears to hang. Finally I give up and kill the setup process and reboot.
After reboot, it appears that the client tools have been installed (the icons appear and I can open the Management Studio, but when I try to connect to an existing instance of SQL, that hangs. This occurs for either Windows or SQL authentication.
Has anyone experienced this behavior and determined the root cause? What EXACTLY is happening during the "Removing Backup Files" phase of the installation?
Thanks for any help in advance,
Marc Mueller

I installed MSDE and it would not let me login. I figured that I must have made a mistake when I initially installed the program so I uninstalled it and then tried to reinstall it but now an error comes up and tells me to check the "server error logs" and "setup error logs". I can find these error logs but I have no idea as to what to do with them. I have tried "system restore" but nothing seems to help. I have scowered this forum and have noted that others have had this problem but have yet to find a solution.
Can anyone help???
Thanks,
Jeff

I have tried to install MSDE 2000, first the normal version, then theone for developers using Visual Studio .NET. Each time the installationappears to complete, but there is no shortcut to start the program andit's not in the Start/Programs menu. However, if I look for it in "Addand Remove Programs" it's there.The directoryC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLBinnincludes some exe files and I have tried to start them, but nothingappears to happen. If I start sqlsrvr.exe I get a command prompt windowin which I see things like "Server Process ID is 182", "Logging SQLserver messages in file..." etc, but I have no idea how to go on fromthere.I tried installing the new 2005 Beta version but exactly the sameproblem.Why is this happening? How can I make it work?Thanks in advance.Bruno Panetta

I have installed MSDE from the command prompt as instructed and get no error message - nor do I get the expected request to reboot. Since I know I must reboot to see MSDE launch, I did so, but it does not launch. It doesn't matter how many times I do this... Any ideas? I am attempting to do this on an XP machine with more than the requirements for doing so. Any help would be MOST APPRECIATED.
thanks

Hi All,
I hope you can help.
I am reading SAMS Teach Yourself ASP.NET and have loaded the WEB Matrix and have been going through the exercises.
I have now tried to load MSDE and my first attempt seemed to load it correctly
C:sql2ksp3MSDE> setup SAPWD=****** SecurityMode=SQL
The Icon appeared in my task bar and I carried on with the Exercises.
My problem started when I tried to create my first data base.
Open Web Matrix
Clicked on Data Tab in the Workspace pane
Clicked on the new Connection Icon
Server = LocaHost
Clicked SQL Server authentication
User Name = sa
Password = ***** (As above)
However when I click on the "Create a new data base" link I get an Error
login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted sql server connection.
I tried to look in the forum to see if I could find a reason however could not.
Decided in the end to uninstall using Start - Control panel - add & remove programs.
However now when I try and reinstall the installation fails.
Can any one help
Best wishes.
James.

Hello,
I've been trying to install MSDE and I keep getting errors. The first time I ran set up command, I got an error saying the insntace name was invalid. I was using "SETUP SAPWD=[pass] SECURITYMODE=SQL" and it didn't work.
Then I uninstalled the whole thing and added the line "INSTANCE NAME=[something]" to the SETUP command, and MSDE installed "properly". But then when I clicked on the icon on the task bar to make the service active, I got an error message saying that no service could be associated to the MSDE.
Then I, again, I uninstalled the whole thing and tried to install it again. Now I'm getting the following error "Setup failed to configure the server. Refer to the server error logs and set up error logs for more information." Now, the funny thing is that when I go to "remove programs" I cannot even see the damn MSDE to uninstall it. I don't know what to do at this point: set up does't run and can't get rid of it.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi, folks.
I have been trying to install sql2kdesksp3 and am running into some problems. The initial install seems to go okay, even up to the point of issuing the Setup sapwd=password command-line command. However, when I try to install sql2kasp3 or sql2ksp3, a message appears saying that SQL 2000 is not installed.
I am on a XPPro SP1 desktop, with IIS 5.1 and .NET 1.1 Framework installed. Can anybody point me in the right direction to get MSDE installed?
TIA,
Bob

When I ran the install for MSDE, it installed the DB server and the databases onto my C: drive and under program files...
The instructions I followed were listed here:
http://www.asp.net/msde/default.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1
I'd like to be able to install it to my D: drive. I've looked through all of the docs but I can't find any information on how to change the install path. Would anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,

I have a friend who has installed MSDE over SQL Server 6.5 - by doing so he broke some other apps that required a SQL 6.5 DB, he realises now it was a mistake on his part and would like to revert to SQL 6.5 again and recover his data, is this possible or has he lost all his old data?
BTW Backups weren't completed....
If anyone can help please let me know.

I recently had to install 40 german NT 4 laptops with MSDE sp3.
I prepared a setup.ini file:
[Options]
DATADIR="C:ProgrammeMicrosoft SQL Server"
TARGETDIR="C:ProgrammeMicrosoft SQL Server"
SAPWD="AStrongPwd"
SECURITYMODE=SQL
and installed most of them sucessfully. Some of them I installed via network, some of them were installed from CD. I tested each installation by copying a prepared database into the data directory and tried to connect to this database using the specified sapwd and found out
When i installed from CD, I could connect to the databases.
Some of the network installs produce a logon failure. it looks like the sapwd was ignored during install - I could not figure out, which password was used, I uninstalled it and reinstalled from CD.
Does anyone know what's the reason for this behaviour?
Thanks,
clothilde

I am trying to upgrade an MSDE 1.0 db with the Service Pack 4 patch
but I need to do either a Silent or Unattended install.
Does anyone know how to do this? Does anyone know the
command-line command to do this?
I tried using...
sql70sp4.exe -a -f1 "unattend.iss"
....but that didn't work. It popped up a window asking where I
should extract the contents of the .exe (that shouldn't be appearing
either) and then after it extracted it didn't do anything else.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,My computer crashed and I have had to reinstall all the software. However, when I try to reinstall MSDE (server), it keeps telling me a strong SA password is required and to use the SAPWD to switch it. I cannot find SAPWD files or anyway to change this. After I get this message, the installation process stops. I didn't have this issue the first time I installed everything back in the beginning of September when the class started and before the computer crashed, I had no problem accessing a database using Web Matrix and the same server setup that I'm trying to install right now.If anyone can help me, I would be more than grateful.Thank youCarolyn (Crowbare)

So far, so good. From WebMatrix, I tried to add a database connection within a project. When I select SQL-database and click on OK, I get the error message that SQL server administration requires SQL client installed on my machine.

I am a newbie and only want to learn ASP and VB programming via Matrix and Visual Studio IDE.Thanks in advance!Christiane
