MSSQL2005 Express SP2 On Vista Professional Does Not Support Extended SP?
Sep 18, 2007
Can you explain please why Extended SP does not work under Vista ?
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (Intel X86) Feb 9 2007 22:47:07 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 6.0 (Build 6000: )
UAC turned off. MSQSL runs under Administrator account.
Any call of user esp - and SQL server goes to loop.
If I call system esp - all works fine.
If I try to read properties of ESP from Management Studio - I have the same effect - SQL server is in loop.
Hi We have a problem installing SQL Express Edition SP1 on Vista. The installation stops during installation of setup support files with the following message:
Errors occurred during the installation:Error 2 installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup Support Files. See log file for more detailed information.Det går inte att hitta filen. (translated: File not found) The log file points to the support.log file with the following content:

I'm not sure what info is required to pinpoint the problem but here are some log files and a screen shot of the message.
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
This is my first time posting, so be gentle as I'm not exactly sure what the protocol here is regarding posting errors.
I'm encountering an issue with an installation of SQL 2005 Express (SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE) on a Windows 2000 Professional SP4 machine (Intel P4 1.8 Ghz). The following error is what I receive:

The following is what I see in the error log (C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGFiles):

Notice the time jump; I did this to make sure I was looking at the right log file.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I'll be monitoring this thread closely. Searches of my error show that other people have received it as well, although no resolution has ever been forthcoming. Thanks in advance.
The computers here at work run Windows 2000 5.00.2195 SP4. Everything checks out with the minimum requirements at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/sqlreadme/#_3462_setup_issues_238p
However, one of the "Reports" from the installation says the machine does not meet the minimum requirements, but provides no details. It installs and I have Admin rights on this machine, but I can't even connect to the Northwind database that I downloaded.
Is this due to our logging process where the "system" is actually in another country? (ie, "CITYNAME/Username"
Hi, I am trying to open or create a sqlexpress database within Visual Studio 2005 Professional in the App_Data folder. If I attempt either method, I get the following dialog box:Required Components MissingConnections to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=49251 The link above just takes you to the download page for Sql Server Express 2005. I have both SQL Server 2005 Developer and SQL Server 2005 Expression instances running. The existing database will work properly in my web application, however I cannot access it through Visual Studio.As background, I did have a problem connecting to the database via the web application, receiving a "Failed to generate a User Instance of SQL Server" error. But I was able to fix that by renaming my SQLEXPRESS folder in C:Documents and SettingsuserLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server Data. When the web page ran, it created another SQLEXPRESS folder.However, I cannot figure out why I am having the other issue.Thanks in advancePatrick
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.
I have created an extended stored procedure (that executes a DLL file) in SQL Server 2005 Express. When I execute this procedure the execution enters an infinite loop and hangs there. When I execute the same procedure on SQL Server 2000 it executes correctly. I wonder if the problem relates to SQL Server 2005, since no problem occurs with SQL Sever 2000. And if so, how could I repair it?
Q1: Does Sql Server 2005 Express support Web/Internet to other SQL Server 2005 Express Clients or does it have to Synch across the internet to a fully installed setup SQL Server 2005 with IIS?
Q2: Does SQL Server 2005 Express support Direct Replication between other SQL Server 2005 Express clients?
<I posted this message in comp.databases Group and then realized thisis a more MS SQL Svr centric group . ... so re-posting it here.>Gentlemen, any workarounds for DTS in Expression version?My goal is to populate a new DB I created with CSV files ... afterreading through dozens of posts it was apparent that DTS is the way togo and then only to find SS-05 Express doesnot support it.Thanks in advance.George
I have another set of questions for the group to help guide me in planning future versions of SQL Express, this time related to 64-bit support.
Quick History
In SQL Server 2005, SQL Express was only released in the 32-bit architecture. We supported installation to x64 computers using the Windows on Windows implementation that allowed the 32-bit program to install on 64-bit computers. We released two different installer packages, SQLEXPR32.EXE could only be installed on 32-bit platforms, while SQLEXPR.EXE could be installed on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, but was the exact same db engine. Package size differences were the result of additional files needed to support WoW installation.
Now to the Point
A number of people have asked that we release a native 64-bit version of SQL Express, which leads me to my questions for this thread:
What advantages will a native 64-bit Express offer you?
Does a 64-bit Express eliminate the need to support 32-bit WoW? (Consider that without WoW, we would not have a single package that could install on both architectures.)
If you could only have either native 64-bit Express or WoW support, which would you choose? (Bonus if you tell me why. )
What user/application scenarios are driving your need for native 64-bit Express? Once again, I will try to limit my participation in this thread, since it's all about your feedback, but I will be reading it closely. I appreciate the effort you put into answering my questions and want to assure you that your feedback is a significant part of how I plan the future of SQL Express. As always, you can answer directly in this thread or respond to me directly, just remove the word "online" from the e-mail address in my profile.
Does Microsoft officially support installing SQL 2005 Express on a server where SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition is already running (a has to keep running).
In case they do, where do i find this official info / note.
Have they released white papers on this matter?
I know it is possible to install the two together and that they can coexist, but I am worried about how the two SQL installations wil behave when being updated with patches, security updates, service packs etc. do you run the possibility of them corrupting each other? Therefor it is vital to know if Microsoft supports the two running on the same system.
I have done a couple of little projects in VB express and was pleased with the results. Now I have something bigger in mind and need to know if VB express version of SQL will support merge replication. If not will the full version support it? Thanks Dave
i have created the folowing function but keep geting an error.
Only functions and extended stored procedures can be executed from within a function.
Why am i getting this error!
Create Function myDateAdd (@buildd nvarchar(4), @avdate as nvarchar(25)) Returns nvarchar(25) as Begin declare @ret nvarchar(25) declare @sqlval as nvarchar(3000)
set @sqlval = 'select ''@ret'' = max(realday) from ( select top '+ @buildd +' realday from v_caltable where realday >= '''+ @avdate +''' and prod = 1 )a'
I have prepared an installer with 2 prerequisites for my project using Bootstrapper. It checks .NET framework 2.0 and then SQL Express 2005. The isntaller works fine on XP sp2 and windows server 2003 but when I tested it on Vista, it is giving me an exception. I checked the log file and found this in the log file. "Result of running operator 'ValueNotEqualTo' on property 'ProcessorArchitecture' and value 'Intel': true Result of checks for command 'SqlExpresssqlexpr32.exe' is 'Fail' 'SQL Server 2005 Express Edition' RunCheck result: Fail A prerequisite failed for Package "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition" Package failed with message "This version of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is not supported for the current processor architecture."
I am using sql server 2005 express edition with SP2. I think it is failing to use sqlexpr32.exe here. Is there any problem of this exe running on vista? Please help..."
anyone know of any issues related to installing and running SQL Express on Vista? Please provide a link or some tips I need to consider for deployment.
I have heard something about the windows authentication not working unless you connect the windows login to a sql server login.
Actually I should have said #22 but this is beyond the point. It seems the errors pop up and then go away for no reason, then appear again.
I had Sql Server Express with Advanced Features set up all right as far as I can see. It is the connection issue that is causing the headache.
Currently when I try to make a connection with an Sql database I get an error in Visual Studio:
Generating user instance in Sql Server is disabled. Use sp_configure 'user instances enabled' to generate user instances.
So I go to Sql Server, log in, open a new query and type:
sp_configure 'user instances enabled' GO
I get a table where I can see that
name minimum maximum config_value run_value user instances enabled 0 1 1 1
Are they enabled? I think, yes. I go back to Vsisual Studio and get the same error. It is possible that I will have to log out in order for all this security garbage to take effect and I will try it but in the meantime, how can I set more than one instance.
I want to complain that these new security provisions that came apparently with SP2 and Vista are totally unnesessary for my applications. I do not have any high security info to worry about, e.g. social security numbers, etc. I would not mind to turn all this stuff off if it is possible at all.
SQL Express CTP 2 provides a checkbox that will enrol the user installing the software as a database administrator. If the user fails to check this box, they run as an ordinary user, and hence are not allowed to perform functions such as create database.
In the process of deploying an application via ClickOnce, if SQL Express is not present it will be installed automatically. Also, in the process of deploying a ClickOnce application, we should usually expect to need to create a new database. Currently, if the user takes the default install of SQL Express they will not be a database administrator and will not be able to create the database. The installation will thus fail.
Is anything being done with SQL Express for ClickOnce applications deploying to Vista that will allow us to automatically enrol the user installing SQL Express as a database administrator?
Hi, Vista Business, SQL 2005 Express SP2 I am a big time newbi to SQL 2005 Express any help appriciated. When I add a new data base to my asp.net page I get this >>> "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed." Any suggestions? Thank you for reading my mail any repliers.
I am having issues with adding a new database in vwd 2008 as i keep getting the error “Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.� I have tried most of the tips on the net already including changing SQLEXPRESS Built-in account to Local System instead of Network Service, running as a administrator and going into surface area to add new admin and adding priveledges to my account. None of these have helped. I can create a database in the management studio but can't create it in vwd and also the asp.net applications doesn't run either. can anyone help as i have no idea what to do.
I'm having issues talking to Vista Sql Express, but selectivly.
The following diagram shows you what works, and what doesn't :
http://www.craznar.com/junk/sqlissue.png
As you can see, the Vista/Express server is running - has all the required connectivity enabled, however we cannot talk from the Windows Server 2003 SQL to the Vista SQL.
The error that is given suggests issues with remote access enabling on Vista - but this is working alsoVista's firewall turned off (We can connect to it).
All machines are on the same subnet, behind the same firewall - Neptune and Headoffice are on a domain, Neptune points to Headoffice for DNS, Headoffice forwards DNS requests to the same DNS all other machines use.
File sharing and Ping work from Headoffice to Neptune ... just can't get SQL connection to work.
I tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express on my VISTA Beta 2 Box but before doing so, I checked if IIS is already installed and running. During the assesment of my current configuration, SQL Server 2005 Express is still looking for IIS. Are the conflicts regarding IIS 7.0 to SQL Server Express or the feature is not yet available. I will be continuing to do experiments with this one and hope there will be people who can share their experiences too.
We are in the process of converting our MSDE-enabled products to using SQL Express for compatability with Vista. With help from the msdn article at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx I've been able to create a test install that works fine under XP, but fails under Vista. We have our application installing under the "Program Files" directory, and are copying the database's MDF file into the same directory. We are using AttachDbFileName to connect to the database and under XP the LDF file is created fine. Under Vista we receive an error that the database cannot be attached and I've noticed that the LDF file is not being created. I was receiving the exact same error under XP until I removed the LDF file from the install and allowed SQL Express to create it. I'm guessing that it is an issue in the permissions necessary to write the LDF file out to the applications directory, but that's just a guess. So, I was wondering what the Microsoft recommended method for doing a SQL Express XCopy deployment under Vista was?
