Problems (re)installing SQL Server 2005 In WinXP Pro
Jul 24, 2006
I am attempting to install the Standard edition on a WinXP pro laptop that apparently had this installed before I got it. I Removed, thru Add/Remove, everything related to SQL Server. When I tried to do a fresh install of DB Services, Integration Services and Client tools, Setup Support and the Native Client seems to install ok, the directories get created and some files are put there. The installer stops and sez that the Databases Services and the Workstation Components are already installed, the Details button tells me that the only available option are thru the Add/Remove Programs. There are no entries for the Server or Client Tools on Add/Remove's list.
When I try to start the server it fails with "can't find the Path" reported in an Error Event, likewise I can't start the Management Studio because it can't find a file.
I think that I need to clean everything out to reinstall. I think that the Services are left over from the previous owner. Any suggestions???
Hello, I have the JDE One World application installed on my computer which is XP PRO SP2. When I open Enterprise Manager, I can go to my local machine as a server, expand it, and see all the JDE databases. I can create a new database and connect to it. However, I cannot install SQL Server 2000 on other XP Pro machines. How can I do this? This is SQL Server 2000 STANDARD. Thank you.
need suggestions on installing SQL2k enterprise edition on my laptop with WinXP Pro...
everytime i run the SQL installation setup,.. it says that "SQL server is not supported on your operating system.Only client components will be installed" I was able to install alright, but I want to install "server tools" because I want to learn XML/SQL.
im installing it on my laptop by the way.
what is required so the installation would let me install both Server and Client tools?
Hi all, Recently i have installed (winxp sp2) and i have encountered with some problems, for example i always use the following Connection string for connecting to SqlServer 2000 and work with it:
My Problems & Situation:Hi! I am a ASP.NET starter. My platform is WinXP Home Edition and I haven't installed any version of SQL server before.I download different version of MSDE and extracted in my C drive separately, including: 1. Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) Release A 2. Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3a (contained MSDE 2000) 3. MSDE 2000 for Developers Using Visual Studio .NETsince all of the above versions have the same problem when I try to install it. The problem is that when I double click each of the setup.exe, it will show a pop up error:[A strong SA password is requires for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same. Refer to readme for more details. Setup will now exit.] Then I found a solution from Microsoft, it told me that: 1. Run the setup in the command prompt 2. Locate in the extracted path 3. type --> "Setup.exe /qb+ INSTANCENAME=NetSDK DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 SAPWD=<pwd>" p.s. I have changed the <pwd> to 123abc However....another Error Occur:1st pop up --> [Unable to determine system default collation.]2nd pop up --> [Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine Setup failed.] My Question:1. Why the error still occour when I type that command to setup? (Solution from Microsoft)2. How can I fix it and complete the installation?3. How many users(maximum) can be created in a MSDE database? Greateful if anyone can give me hand.
For various reasons a new desktop application I am developing is using the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Release Candidate to store local data. On my development machine (XP SP2, VS2005, SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition) the software is able to create the database file, and read and write to it fine.
However on our test machine, which does not have any of the development tools the software is unable to create the database. A System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException is thrown. The message is: "SQL Mobile usage is restricted on this platform. To use SQL Mobile, you must install SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, or the Tablet PC SKU." Obviously this goes somewhat against the blurb for SQL Server CE.
Is this something that will be fixed shortly? Or is it the intention that databases can't be created on machines that do not SQL Server or Visual Studio installed? (Incidentally the reason for creating the database on the fly is that we are encrypting it, using the users credentials, so that only they can open the database.)
I have SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition already installed. Before starting the SQL Server 2005 Standard setup, I exited the SQL server agent running in my system tray.
I am logged on as Administrator and no other desktop apps are running. SQL Server 2005 Setup reports several "Setup failed." error messages after the install. I am choosing (for now) ONLY the workstation tools and books online check mark. The installation presents a screen that says that these products were successfully installed ("Setup finished"): - MSXML6 - OWC11 - SQL Server Backward-Compatibility Files However, these items have a red x next to them: - SQL Server Books Online - SQL Server Support Files - SQLXML4 - SQL Native Client - Workstation Components, Books Online, ...
My Setup log file terminates with a few messages--one of which contains the words "Configuration failed." (This is the ONLY mention of the word "fail" in the Setup log--see the excerpt below.)
Any ideas??? I'm stuck without SQL Server 2005 running so this is a productivity killer for me.
More info: Here is what I have done, to no avail:
1) Installed the OWC11 components using a direct download from Microsoft. That install worked. But when it runs again from the SQL Server 2005 DVD, it fails. 2) Logged on not as a user with Admin rights, but as ADMINISTRATOR. Same results--the SQL Server 2005 Standard setup failed. 3) Installed SQL Server 2005 Express successfully. Afterwards, tried again to install SQL Server 2005 Standard, and that setup failed. 4) Cleared registry values for SQL Server 2005 under HKLM.../Software as described in KB article. Also deleted the installation folder ...90. Tried again to install SQL Server 2005 Standard, and that setup failed. 5) Tried the 180-day trial of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise--to no avail. Same results.
Found error logs but they did not help me pinpoint the root cause for the failed installation.
Thank you, -- Jonathan

Hi all, Im new here so il start with a little introduction of myself, My name is Arjan im 19 years old from Holland, and i work for a company to compleet my ICT Education.
My situation:
My boss gave me a server with server 2003 standard and Sql server 2005 and visual studio 2005 installed already, he asked me if i could figure out how the 'new' reporting services work, Im pretty new to SQL and the reporting service but i figured out i had to install asp.net / frameworks and IIS.
So right now i wanna start the Reporting Services Configuration Manager and i get an error that says 'Invalid namespace' and when im trying to approach by using my browser i get 'page not found' so obviously their is Alot wrong. I asked my boss if i could not reinstall everything and do it in the correct order (IIS / ASP.net / Frameworks before installing SQL server 2k5 but that was not an option because we dont seem to have the cd's anymore.
The server is not connected to any network or the internet.
My Question:
Is their any way to fix this? and if yes could anyone tell me where to start
Thanks in Advance!
ps if their is information or logs that u need in order to help me just say so :-)
I posted a more detailed technical question a couple of weeks ago with Subject = "Compact Edition 2005 Subscribers - Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based cleanup has deleted metadata" But I got no replies.
Now my question is simpler: Is SQL Server 2005 Merge Replication reliable with Compact Edition subscribers on WindowsXP tablets?
We deleted all users' local databases a couple of weeks ago, and republished two publications with retention = 60 days. Now we have at least one user who can't sync with the server, and replication monitor shows the error below. But if she e-mails her sdf file to a support person, they can successfully sync her database. We're sure that it's not a permissions issue, which is a normal suspicion when one user can perform a task that another can not. It doesn't seem like a retention problem, because she's well inside the retention period. She can successfully sync with the publication with upload/download tablers, but not with the publication with download only tables. Both publications were created on the same day, by the same DBA, with nearly identical properties.
This problem user has operated in the past with no problem, and she's configured identically to all of the others. It just seems like random flakyness with merge replication for Compact Edition subscribers.
I feel stupid saying that, because it sounds like I believe in a magical ghost in the machine. So my question is - IS MERGE REPLICATION A LITTLE BIT FLAKY FOR COMPACT EDITION SUBSCRIBERS ON XP MACHINES?
We've applied SP2 to the server, but no subsequent HotFixes.
We're trying to sell users and management on developing a larger occasionally connected system with the same replication scheme, so we need to know if it deserves our confidence.
Error messages:
The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Publisher for changes not yet sent to the Subscriber. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload). (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199402) Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147199402
Hi, I am running SQL Server 2005 x64 DE on Vista x64. I installed MS VS 2005 Pro. Edition. During the setup of VS, I did a custom install, un-checking the SQL Express addition box. After installation, I received errors that indicated the SQL Express did not install. Even though I do not have SQL Express installed on my machine, MS Update says that I need SQL Express SP2. My SQL DE is up to date with SP2 and MS Update indicates as "optional" that I need SQL SP2.
Is SQL Express a necessity for VS Pro? If not, why is MS Update indicating that I need SQL Express SP2? In addition, why is MS Update telling me I need SQL SP2 when it is already installed?
Note: I installed SQL SP2 manually, not through MS Update. This makes me believe that MS Update is not detecting it.
I need to install SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on a new Windows Server 2003 machine that has SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installed by a backup application (Backup Exec). Will I need to uninstall the express edition in order to install the standard edition? Can the two coexist as separate instances or will the standard edition installation simply upgrade the express installation?
I installed sql server 2005 sp2 including business intelligence development suite , however I got a message some client components not compablitable .This morning I searched my programs and found that I have new visual studio 2005 on my computer (before I just had vs 2008) as well as business intelligence developer (which does not work) It seems I I would like to get rid of vs 2005 also fix business intelligence studio . Previously I deleted vs 2005 express off my computer........(I have vista and I would only like to keep tools meant for sql standard 2005 reporting services etc here is a list of my sql sp2 install package By the way I doubled clicked sql_tools.msi and did not run as administrator Does that make a difference? I wonder if this is a problem with vs 2008 and sql 2005......

I am try to install SQL Server 2000 on XP OS, but every time it showing only client version can be install to your current oprating system. Is there any patch or service pack to intstall SQL Server 2000 on XP SP2 based system?
Hi,Does anyone know if MS SQL Server 2000, will run stability on a WindowsXP based O/S, using one of the new Dual Core chips, or HT chips?Especially given that when you install it you get compatabilitywarnings?ThanksDavid
I've got the error message when creating linked server and running the DTC across two database servers, ""Error 18452: Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."
But, orginially, if the Server side is Win2000 Server with SQL Server 2000, everything is okay. When I migrate it to the Win2003Server platform, this thing happened.
I've also applied the following solution but it still doesn't work.

I am trying to create an asp.net website with integrated windows authentication to access SQL databases. IIS resides on WinXP and SQL Server on Win2000 SRV. Both are in the same NT Domain. IIS and SQL Server cannot reside on the same machine and a stand alone web server is ideal as the website needs to access multiple SQL Servers. IIS is set to Integrated Windows Authentication. The machine running IIS & the SQL Server are set to be "trusted for delegation" in active directory. The domain user accounts that will be accessing the databases are not marked as "Account is sensitive and cannot be delegated".
The connection string that the web app uses to connect to SQL database is:
with which the user credentials should be flown to the SQL database. But instead the delegation fails and results in the following ANONYMOUS authentication failure error:
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

I need to install SQL server 2005 in my desktop. I have already installed Visual Studio 2005 and selected to install all add ons during initial installation of VS 2005.
Now, when i inserted my CD for installing SQL server 2005, there is nothing that has to be installed.
I checked that SQL 2005 Express edition is already installed in my system.
Kindly let me know, if by installing VS 2005 with all add ons will install SQL server 2005 as well?

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me. I was trying to run SQL Server 2005 express edition after downloading it from the internet. I must admit i'm new to SQL server. So this is why i like to get a feel of how it works and that sort of things. However, when i tried to run it, it's saying that i needed .Net Framework 2. Then, after having downloaded the .Net and run the setup, the error message came up with the following message.
"Error creating process <c:Documen~1userslocals~1 empixp000.TMPInstall.exe>. Reason: c:windowssystem32advpack.dll"
It still gives me the same error message after updating the advpack.dll i got from the internet.
Has anyone had the same experience as i've been having now?
I have a problem. I downloaded SQL server 2005 "standard or develope" trial version, which did not install on my computer. Probably not working on my OS. So the trial version did not work. Could someone please give me a clue which version that would work??
My OS an SP-level is; Windows XP Professional Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519: Service Pack 2)
(Windows XP Professional version 2002 32-bit, Windows XP Service Pack 2, IIS, .NET Framework 2.0., 13GB free space, processor intel 1,5 GHz, 256MB RAM)
I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 on XP with SP2. According to Microsoft this should be sufficient. However when I try to install it says I need WIndows Installer 3.1. I cannot get this from Microsofts website as i'm not using a proper copy of XP.
Does anyone know a way round this before I go and buy XP?
This is the file I need...
WindowsInstaller-KB893803-x86.exe
To complicate matters further i'm running XP on my Mac via Virtual PC (but i'm told this shouldn't matter)
While i try to install Sql Server 2005 this message appears : "Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this operating system. For details, see 'Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005' in Microsoft SQL Server Books Online." What can i do? I am trying to install Sql Server 2005 Enterprise Edition on Windows XP Professional SP2.
During the installtion of SQL Server 2005 (Win2k3 SP2) the msxml setup fail. When i try to install manually the msxml i get the error "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". I'm the machine administrator.
I believe when I installed VB 2008 Express Edition, it also installed SQL Server 2005, so I do not need to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, correct?
