I have to uninstall Sql Express because of a problem that arose after I tried to make a connection from VS2008 Server Explorer to SqlExpress ( connection strings run from C3 code worked fine). I began getting weird errors and the issue has not been resolved after a long thread I ran in this forum.
It turns out there are plenty of dire warnings on the web and MSDN not to do this or that before you tried to uninstall. To tell you the truth I have uninstalled Sql Express in the past quite a few times but every time you fight new challenges and it is difficult to learn from experiecne. I have always done it headlong without considering consequences, eventually this bulldozed approach worked every time but there is a chance that with the .NET getting more complicated this time I may get in trouble.
I am referring to this article on MSDN: before you uninstalled Sql Express:
which is awfully unclear. It seems it recommends uninstalling ALL versions of .NET from 2.0 on.
These are versions on my Vista machine:
v1.0.3705, v1.1.4322, v2.0.50727, v3 .0, v3.5
Do I have to uninstall any? I don't think I've done it before.
Now, those .NET versions I listed above are just folders in my WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework directory. When I try to open Turn Windows features On & Off I can see only .NET 3.0 Framework, nothing else. Not even .NET 3.5!
Hi, While building a vista 64 Ultimate machine recently, I temporarily installed the express edition toolkit with visual studio 2005. I have since uninstalled sql, and reinstalled the 64-bit developer edition. However it appears the toolkit did not uninstall completely - now when I try to install workstation components, bol, etc. It says that the upgrade is blocked. Hard as it is to believe that an express install can block a developer edition install, it does. I've tried reinstalling the ee toolkit, as any client/management tools are better than none - but this fails, saying that the components are already on the machine!! sheesh! It doesn't give an option to uninstall.
Has anyone got any ideas. I've uninstalled *everything* sql related, reinstalled with sp2 twice. I can see and create databases using visual studios server explorer, but this does not give any management options. Does anyone know how I can remove whatever registry entries are fouling up this installation?
i installed sql server 2005 express by running SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE....now i can not uninstall it because the exe created a temp file to unpack the install files....of course those files are cleaned up after install or whenever i cleaned up the temp files on my pc.....so how do i uninstall?
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"
I have downloaded SQL Server 2005 express from microsoft's site and tried to install in windows 2000 service pack 4 but having an unexpected error. The screenshot and log file is attached. Please suggest.
The error log is as shown:

I'm trying to create a all-in-one installation package for my application which make use of the SQL 2005 Express edition. It seems that there's no way to roll my application MSI installation with the database engine, the only ways around this problem is to use a bootstrap exe to launch the sql setup before or after my main application's MSI. This works fine during installation and I have modified the original .NET framework bootstrapper to do just that.
The problem comes when uninstalling my application. Since the uninstall process is all done through the MSI engine, how would I take the sql instance with me during my application's uninstall? Since the sql engine is also based on MSI technology, I won't be able to do that during the removal step of my application's MSI, right? Any one know any "clean" ways around that? Besides not letting users uninstall my application directly from Add/Remove program and force them to call another exe simular to my installation bootstrap?
I'm considering to use 3rd party tools like InstallShields, but even them are recommending people to stay with the MSI technology which is where the problem is. I'm running out of ideas really fast...
I installed MS Express 2005 a few years ago and now I want to uninstall it and reinstall 2008. I played with 2005 but never used it for anything but now I need to get serious about it because my job is requiring it. I installed 2005 express compenents like SQL server, VB, C, ect... When I go to my programs and try to add/remove any of the 2005 express components the uninstall 'install' just hangs. I choose the option to uninstall the component (not reinstall or repair) but no matter what I try it hangs. After it hangs if I try to uninstall another component it says cannot perform the task because another install process is running. I even let the uninstall sit for 45 minutes to see if it would finish but the process is not using any CPU and the progress bar does not move so it is truly hung. I briefly tried an uninstaller but it crashed too. Any clues on what to do next or what I should try to clean my machine so I can install express 2008? Thanks.
I'm facing a problem while installing the SQL Server 2005 Express on Windows 2000 Pro with SP4.
After finishing the downloading from Microsoft I start the installation and things seems to go ok but during Extracting Files step a message appears "SQL Server Setup unexpectedly failed. For more information, review the setup summary log file in %Program Files%Microsoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGSummary.txt" and it terminates the installation.
I located the log file and open it but can't understand the problem..I copy the text and paste it here for anyone who can understand it.Please, it is very importand for me to work with SQL Server for my project. Any advice or information or anything else???
Thank you all,

I get three login prompts - then the access denied response. It is almost as if it is unable to authenticate the user... anyway... here's the actual error response, I'd really appreciate any input/insight/resolution.

Hi all,I have a Windows 2003 server, which is also a terminal server forapplication, with sql 2000 installed. My company has developed anapplication that uses SQL 2000 as its database. The application is aclient/server one. In each client computer there's a link to theapplication on the server. There is no problem with Windows 98,Windows 2000 pro, Windows xp pro clients, but the windows 95 onescannot log in to the database. The log of the application shows thefollowing error:connection error -2147467259. Cannot open database requested in login'database name'. Login fails.Till a week ago the application was running on a Windows 2000 serverwith SQL 2000 install and the W95 clients had no problem connecting tothe database, so my guess is the error has something to do withWindows 2003 server, but what'causing the error?I tried to install a newer version of MDAC (MDAC 2.5, the last versionof MDAC you can install on W95)but with no success. By the way W95clients have no problem accessing shared folder on the Windows 2003server.Any idea?ThanksMarino
Hi, Just upgraded some development desktops to Vista Business. However we need to still connect to some older remote windows 2000/SQL 2000 servers.
Trying to setup an ODBC system DSN on our Vista Business local desktop we get the following errors -
-START ERROR WINDOW- Connection Failed: SQLState: '01000' SQL Server Error: 772 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]ConnectionOpen (SECDoClientHandshake()0. Connection failed: SQLState: '08001' SQL Server Error: 18 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SSL Security Error -END ERROR WINDOW-
Any help greatly appreciated as this is stopping us from making database/table connections etc. We've checked the firewall setup and all is well there.
PS - we can still connect fine using XP or windows 2000 desktops and their local DSNs.

I've just started getting this EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) on machines using Windows 2000 sp4 connecting to SQLServer. This is crashing JVMs (multiple Sun versions and BEA also) in the Java VM frame (outside our code). This has just started recently - perhaps with the last set of patches? Has anyone else seen this or know what I could do to get more information? Could this be related to updates to named pipes?
We have a SQL Server 7.0 system in NT 4.0 environment. We upgraded our users to Access 2000 and started to work with this. Now we installed a new server which is Windows 2000 based and the domain is different from the SQL servers domain. We then installed Access 2000 on Windows 2000 to use with terminal server. But I noticed that there was a problem with the program. I then looked at the program which was written on Access 2000 and saw that the tables and views can't be seen. The program runs but I can't see the views and tables. Another thing is access disconects from SQL Server when I want to see the tables. So what can be the problem.
In one part there is an Access 2000 on Windows 2000 server. On the other part SQL Server 7.0 on Windows NT 4.0. And Access can't see the tables in SQL server.
I am trying to install microsoft sql server 2000 enterprise edition on a windows 2000 advance server. I keep getting error message

What does error message mean and what is solution?
Can I install SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2000 Professional, I have tried but message was "this platform is not supported" and only client components will be installed after installing, I was unable to create any database.
Can SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition (32-bit) be installed on a Windows 2003 Server R2 SP2 64-bit clustered system?
I have the Windows Cluster fully patched, but when I try to install SQL server 2000 Ent Ed (32-bit) from the directory 'd:englishsql2000entx86setupsetupsql.exe' it hangs after I enter the virtual server IP.
NB. I have successfully installed SQL 2000 Ent Ed (32-bit) on a clustered Windows 2003 Server (NOT R2)
Any help or pointers would be greatly appriciated.
We just moved the back end of an Access db to an SQL server and upgraded to Access 2000. A strange problem has arisen. The execution of a query in a certain function seems to be causing the function to prematurely terminate (that is, the query does not complete, and the function does not execute beyond the execution of the query). This error occurs only on workstations loaded with Windows 98. Windows 2000 users are unaffected, and the function runs uninterrupted. The query in question contains date parameters. On the SQL server, dates are enclosed in single quotes (')'s, whereas in Access they are enclosed in pound signs (#)'s. When a query is sent by Access to the SQL server, it is filtered through a program that converts the Access format to SQL-friendly code. Our theory is that this process fails to occur on the machines running Windows 98. Does anyone know why this is occuring?
As I said in the subject I've a problem trying to restore a backup of a previous db created in sql 2000 server
When I try to do it I recive the following message:

Will SQL Express SP2 automatically come down in the Windows Update Service or will we have to update our users? I seem to remember seeing something somewhere that it will.
Does anyone have a link to an authority or official notice on this?
I have a windows application that uses a small MySql as its data source. I would like to convert it to SQL Express. I would like to continue to manage the data from the windows application, but would like to make it available to the web using Visual Web Developement. I can create the new database in VWD, but how do I access the data from my application? I can use either ODBC or ADO.
My machine is running Windows 98. I want to install window 2000 in order to enable me work with SQL Server 2000. Please what is the best way to go about it. Do I use an Upgrade or do I uninstall Windows 98 and install Windows 2000. Thanks for your help!!!!!
Does anyone know how SQL Server works with Active Directory users? Specifically, I'm wondering if I'm going to encounter problems if our Windows 2000 environment is setup with multiple forests. I'm assuming as long as there's a trust between the forests, SQL Server will be able to authenticate.
Need to install SQL 7 under windows 2000 (professional version), thought it should be. However, in the install (Standard) process, first msgbox "You could only have client utility". Hit 'OK' to ignore this message, and the whole installation finished completely.
Issue: could not register the server name of 'SQA-Test1' nor connect through the isql/w. Thus, not quite sure the relationship between SQL 7 and Win2000.
