I noticed that SP2 was finally released. A few question before I dive in that install:
- Must I uninstall anything before installing SP2?
- Considering that fact that I keep a copy of each install programs on a disk in case of crash recovery, must I keep SP1 files as well as SP2 files or can I consider that SP2 is complete by itself, that it completely overwrite SP1 and so delete SP1 files and just keep SP2 files for backup?
- If I also have Compact Edition installed, is there any SP2 issued for it?
- Is there a place where I can sign in so I can receive some sort of email notice where an upgrade is available for download for SQL Server 2005 as well as for Visual Studio 2005?
A simple question. I installed successfully Visual Studio 2008 Standard edition on my VISTA Ultimate 32bits machine. During install process, I also checked SQL Server Express 2005 item.
Which version of SQL Server Express 2005 did it install? Are we talking about SP2? If so, can I install without problem a more complete SP2 package using following links
SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2 http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=65109 Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=65111
without screwing the now existing SQL Server Express setup VS2008 installed?
I just installed SQL 2005 express. It did not prompt me for a selection for the collation. How do I tell what collation it is installed at? And how do I tell whether it is case sensitive or not?
Hi, I am installing SQL Server 2005 on a server that is currently running SQL Express. My reason for installing full SQL is due to the database size limitation of SQL Express. Can anyone give me advice on whether I should unistall SQL Express before installing SQL Server 2005 or just install over the top of Express.
hello, I am having some problems installing the sql 2005 express that comes with the asp.net 2.0 It says that the installation failed thats all. Anyone with that kind of problem?
I am working on Win2K Pro & had SQL Server 2005 Express & SQL Server Management Studio installed. The SQL Server name was MerverSQLEXPRESS. Due to some unavoidable reasons, I had to repair (& not re-install) Win2K but after doing so, I found that I am not able to connect to the database server. I uninstalled all the components related to SQL Server 2005 Express (like Management Studio, Support Files, BOL etc.) from my m/c & then restarted my m/c.
After doing so, I first re-installed SQL Server 2005 Express & other related components (I intended to install SQL Server 2005 Management Studio after installing SQL Server 2005 Express). While installing SQL Server 2005 Express, all the steps get executed successfully except for the last one which happens to be SQL Server Database Services. At this point, I get the following error:
An instance with the same name is already installed on this computer. To proceed with SQL Server Setup, provide a unique instance name.
The problem is after I click the OK button, I am not even given the option to change the instance name! The Status message corresponding to SQL Server Database Services just says Setup failed. Refer to the Setup log for details. Finally, when I click the Next button, the next dialog finishes the Setup (showing the Finish button).
Now how do I overcome this problem? Please note that the Authentication mode I am using is Windows Authentication.
Someone please suggest me a concrete solution. It's driving me nuts! My receding hairline is getting further receded!
Lastly, please note that, as far as possible, I would like to keep the instance name as MerverSQLEXPRESS only.
I have just installed SQL Server 2005, default settings. I have attempted to add a new ODBC driver using Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Data Sources (ODBC) - System DSN tab - Add - SQL Server - default settings, but it fails.
I did all this for MySQL some months ago, but I must have forgotten something.
I have a problem installing SQL express from a CD, it installs fine but the installation wizard does not load automatically, so I have tried to setup manually through Add and Remove programs.
But when I get pass System configuration check menu, i do not get the Registration info menu, it goes straight to SQL server express setup and then to another server express setup menu (it skips 3 menu pages) it should have MSML5 components such as SQL setup files, SQL native client, SQL VSS writer etc but it is completely empty. Then I get the finish screen.
However, when I uninstall SQL express, I see the MSML screen with all the components listed before it uninstalls.
I hope this makes sense and I hope someone can help.

I'm preparing to install VS2005 along with SQL Server 2005 express on VISTA. Honestly, I just hope nothing will get screwed up...
- After installing VS2005, I will first install SQL Server 2005 express from my VS2005 DVD - I will then install SQL Server 2005 express with Advanced services SP2 as well as SQL Server 2005 express toolkit SP2 upgrades.
A few technical questions:
1. Considering the fact that I have Office2007 as well as Outlook 2007 installed on my VISTA machine, is there any install issues regarding SQL Server 2005 and Office2007? I remember having read posts reporting install problems... Any feedback would be appreciated.
2. After I install SQL Server 2005 Express from VS2005 DVD, do I need to install SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 before installing SP2?
to install sql server express 2005, do i have to install the windows installer 3.0. when i run the setup, after extracting the files, there is a message displaying such that to continue installation, you need to install the windows installer 3.0.
Hi guys, I'm currently taking a course in Visual C#.
The school provided a link to MSDNAA for a free educational copy of Visual Studio 2008, however our school uses Visual Studio 2005. I wanted to use the same thing so I downloaded Visual C# express 2005.
I can't get the darned thing to install properly. I get an error at the end saying
The following failed to install Micosoft SQL Server 2005 Express edition x86
I don't know what to do. I won't be able to get to work on assignments if I don't get this working soon.
Downloaded the program and followed the instructions (as vague as they are) the only thing I see to execute is the configuration tools. I am certain I have missed something. Can anyone assist?
I just want to confirm that I can just install it on top of what I already I have.
About 2 months ago, I installed Visual Studio 2005, full edition (not express).
I can't remember what I did regarding SQL... whether I installed anything or not.
On my PC at the moment, in the Control Panel ---> "add/remove programs" section, I have :-
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Size 197,00MB Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile [ENU] Developer Tools Size 6,95MB Microsoft SQL Server Native Client Size 4,16MB Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English) Size 20,60MB Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer Size 0,66MB
From my start menu --> All Programs, the only SQL program is "Microsoft SQL Server 2005", and this just has one sub-menu to "configuration tools". I cannot see a link to any SQL server, so I don't think I have it installed.
Should I uninstall the 5 programs listed above first ? Or can I just install SQL Server 2005 Express on top of what I already have ?
I'm new to programming and I've got to develop a db for a uni project. However after downloading SQL Server 2005 express ed, I found that I could not find the command prompt to start writing scripts (black and white DOS screem). I only have the configuration tool option in my menu (within that server configuration manager, error & usage reporting and server surface area config).
How do I get started with creating my database, please help....................
I'm I not looking in the right place for the console (command prompt to run scripts) or have I not downloaded the right stuff.
I have run into a snag trying to install SQL Express 2005. I'm installing it on a highend Win XP Pro PC with 1 GB of RAM. I'm providing you with my summary.txt file from my installation. As you can see, the last 2 entries failed to commit because it could not open the registry key.

If SQL Server Setup fails, Setup will roll back the installation but may not remove all .manifest files. The workaround is to rename the files and then rerun Setup. For more information, see How to: Work Around COM+ Check Failure in SQL Server Setup.
I have Visual Web Developer 2005 Express edition and I wanted to install SQL Server 2005 Express edition.From this page, I have downloaded and installed 'Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition' and 'Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/After the installation, how should I access the SQL Server 2005 Express edition?Because the only thing listed in 'Start > All Programs > SQL Server 2005' is 'Configuration Tools'I was hoping that when I install SQL Server 2005 express edition, I would get all the menu that I get by installing SQL Server 2000.So after installing SQL Server 2005 Express edition, what should I be expection? Thanks
When I try to install SQL Server 2005 Express I find that after a short time it discontinues and say's "Installation not completed etc" on looking at the logs it say.s "Could not find IIS" do I need XP Pro to be able to install SQL Server Thanks in advance
I've been having horrific problems installing and working with SQL Server Express 2005. I installed SSE with the Visual Web Developer tool so I assumed that the instance would synch up; but it didn't (see log contents at end) so I opened up permissions wide open to all users, and even that didn't help. I don't know for sure but I suspect that the problem probably relates to my deleting SQL Server entries from the registry and all directories and files related to it on disk. After going through the process of uninstalling and reinstalling Express 2005 numerous times, I became frustrated and decided to pull out all stops. After reading and following all MSDN instructions and every blog and forum I could possibly locate on the subject, I could never resolve the problem of not reaching my database. I enabled all pipes and TCP/IP, etc. in the Configuration Manager, in both instances I had created; had run all command-line procedures recommended; and used cleanup programs that I could find, before reinstalling. I couldn't even get success in doing a test connection. I did get to a point where my ASP returned the message that it had connected but that the user didn't have permissions. I think I'm destined to working with Access, which is a shame since I have encouraged students in a Web development class I teach to work with the more powerful SQL Server products. They've had success with SQL Server, so I'm setting a bad example. Thanks in advance for help any of you can suggest.

As the subject says, I am getting an error installing SQL Express 2005 SP1 on XP Home/SP2. I have never had a previous version of SQL server installed. I have never had Visual Studio installed. I have tried extracting the setup files and running from a different directory. I have tried installing the advanced package as well with the same results.
When I run the setup, the Client and support files are successfully installed. It then goes on to the system analysis, where I get one warning about my hardware but I have checked the help file and my system appears to meet the system requirements. After I click Next from this window is where I get the error, "Error writing to file: Access is denied. . Verify that you have access to that directory."
After looking into the log files I see this,
Error Code: 0x80070005 (5) Windows Error Text: Access is denied. Source File Name: t:yukonsqlsetupdarwinsqlcastubstreamca.cpp Compiler Timestamp: Wed Dec 21 16:49:23 2005 Function Name: streamBinaryToDisk Source Line Number: 238 Error 1304. Error writing to file: Access is denied. . Verify that you have access to that directory.
Does anyone know what is wrong? I have installed this on many W2K machines at work as well as installed the full version of SQL Server 2005. I have never seen these errors on any of those machines. This is the first XP machine I have ever tried to install on so I am not sure if this is an OS problem or not.
I am running WinXP Home edition, and I was trying to install SQL Server Express, but the error message is too vague for me fix. It says my computer lacks the "Service Pack Requirements" to run the software, but I'm afraid I don't know which service pack requirements the error is talking about. What Service Pack do I need to download?

I've been trying to install SQL Server Express 2005 on my machine at home (XP Pro). However, when I get done, I get the following error when I restart my computer (at the login screen): "Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (Error getting instance ID from name.). Please uninstall the re-run setup to correct this problem."
I have uninstalled and reinstalled a number of times, with always thesame result. I had Visual Studio Orcas Beta 2 installed, so I thought that might have had something to do with it. I uninstalled everything development related on the machine (including all versions of the .NET Framework), and am still getting the same error. I tried installing along with Visual Studio 2005 (since it can be installed through the VS installer), same error.
I haven't been able to find any helpful information on this error. It seems everyone else is seeing it when they try to open Management Studio or some other program, but I am seeing it on system start.
Anyone have any thoughts? I'd really like to get this working. Thanks.

Can you guys please send me some info how you fix this problem. Thanks in advance. -Mike
I have created an .iss file which when compiled creates a setup.exe file on a cd rom. Within the .iss I have extracted the sqlexpress files out so that it will install straight from disk to the users machine rather than from the .msi file. All this has been successful so far....
My problem is:- I want to attach a database to the an instance of sqlexpress on the users machine. I have detached it from SQL Server 2000 and copied it over to the cd. The setup file copies these over the users hard drive. I have looked through many forums etc and the words that keep popping up are:-
sqlcmd.exe
template.ini
type into the command prompt.
Sorry if I'm a little ignorant but I am not sure how to go about these. How do I open the command prompt on the users machine from CD? Do I have to create something to do this?
Any information would be appreciated, any guidance or scripts would be great.
I was running the setup program and it popped up an error message:
The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."
I looked at ERRORLOG and it says:
