could any one tell my how could i intall the sql server database services and other services?
I was playing around with SQL2k5 Express, but decided to download Enterprise using my MSDN subscription. I installed it, but none of the services are running. I don't understand why?
I've checked the requirments and I notice that Vista x64 is not on the list for compatible OS's.
I do get this when trying to install:
- SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility (Warning)
Messages
SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility
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.
Also, during the install, Componoents to Install: All the services are greyed out... is that because they can't be installed or because they're going to be installed by default?
Anyone else have it running on Vista Ultimate x64? Am I doing something wrong or does it just not install on this version of Vista?
Hi, Trying to install SQL Server 2005 on Windows VISTA Ultimate, received following error:
- SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility (Warning)
Messages
SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility
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.
Ive been told that you cant install SQL Server 2000/2005 on anything but a server OS (such as Windows Server 2003). How are people installing this into vista then as Longhorn is far from being released?
When i try and install it into Ultimate, i only get the option to install client tools... which makes sense as the machine isnt a server. Surely people can install SQL Server 2005 in Vista though?
All of the features are green ticked except the OS which has a compatabilty warning (which i expected).
I feel im missing something really simple here....
Whenever I try to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition on my Vista Ultimate x64 platform I get error 29506. All I could find on the web was that this is probably due to an access control problem. I have tried installing it as the local administrator, as a member of domain admins, and as the domain administrator. All get the same error. My domain is a Small Business Server domain. This may be part of the problem, but I can't imagine how.
When trying to force access to the domain administrator, I also seem to get an access problem.
I have just take my system back to the factory defaults after some unsuccessful attempts to install 64 bit and 32 bit sql server on my notebook. I am looking to use either 32 or 64 bit (I have disks for both) and I would like to get a step by step guide that will help me through the process.
I tried an install of the 64 bit version, applied SP2, and it went smoothly but the report services browser didn't work. I tried to change some IIS settings but I didnt document what I changed so i was unable to undo the changes that i made when these didnt work.
I tried several combinations of things but then decided that a clean install on a clean system was the best option.
I need the SQL engine , reporting services, analysis services - and possibly integration services - i am not sure if i need notification services (dont know what it does anyway!)
I also have vs2005 - should i install that first or after sql server 2005 SP2?
Currently I am just trying to completely remove all Vista Ultimate's knowledge of installed instances of SQLServer 2005 Developer edition.
I cannot do this for some reason. This all began when I tried to install SQLServer 2005 and it installed but I could not connect to it. Now I have two installed instances that I cannot access, after removing all SQL programs from the Programs and Features icon in the control panel.
I tried running "WIndows Installer CleanUp Utility" as I read in a thread on this forum. This did not help. After going thru and removing all SQLServer programs using the "programs and features" icon in control panel... The installation process shows two installed instances of SQLServer 2005.
1) How can I completely erase all Vista Ultimate's knowledge of any SQLServer 2005 install and start over?
I have downloaded SQLServer 2005 SP 2, and run it, but clearly what I should do, and what Microsoft has asked me to do are not working...
2) What should I be doing to install SQLServer 2005 Developer Edition successfully?
I have been a strong supporter of Microsoft, but this is getting me very frustrated.
Hi -I have istalled sql server 2005 standard edition , I want to install sql server 2005 enterprise edition on the same machine. Is it possible? I have Microsoft windows server 2003 SP2 and 1GB RAM. I want to use partition function with the enterprise edition, will the trial version of sql server work for me? -If I have already created a database and tables using the standard edition, will I be able to access and use the database using the installed trial version or will I have to start a fresh creating a new database? - Is it possible to access the same database with any of the installed versions?
BTW, I am prety new to sql server and databases , I am trying to learn by myself
I am getting error when trying to install SQL 2005 express edition on Windows Vista (32-bit). It says that I don't have the framework (or it's corrupt), but I know that i don't need to install it again because it cames already with Vista.
I tried to install the framework, but it says that i've already the framework installed.
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I have Vista Home premium edition and trying to install SQL Server developer edition 2005 as local administrator. I have already enabled IIS 7 and have Office Ultimate 2007 installed. When I run the set up program, I get a warning titled "Program Compatibility Assistant" that my Operating system may not be compatible with the version of sql server I am installing. It says after setup is complete, I should run SP2 of SQL Server 2005 with 3 buttons as "Check for solutions online", "run this program" and "cancel"...
My question, should I select "run this program" and after the setup completes, download SP2 and apply the patch?
I read some articles in forums that sounds like lot of issues to get sql server working on vista. Can some one direct me to correct options. This is my wife's machine so I dont want to experiment too much and blow her machine away. Please help.
Hi, Is there any one knows how to fix this, please help! This is urgent. In the configuration checking, there was only one warning message about operation system (this warning should be ignored according to some advice). When coming to the Component checkboxes, there is only one checkboxe checkable at the last item. Thanks!
I received an error when I tried to install SQL server 2005 enterprise edition trial software with office 2007. My operating system is Windows XP pro SP2. It could not locate an office file and recommended downloading office 2003 sp2. Will this fix the problem?
I have a real installation mess n my hands. I'm attempting to install Sql Server Developer edition on a new Thinkpad with Vista Ultimate. There are no issues with limited resources. This copy of Vista Ultimate came with a trial copy of Office 2007 and SQLExpress was intalled with it. I unistalled SQLExpress being unaware of the Vista Compatibility problems. SQL Developer did not install after I removed SQLE. After researching this on the net, I read that developer could be installed as an upgrade if SQLE is on the system. So Installed SQLE with advanced tools deliberately not installing the tools. That installation went well. So then I tried to reinstall SQL Developer and received a message about having to setup via command line because of an exisiting instance. So I installed Developer with the folowing command line from an MSDN DVD.
I chose the advanced options specifiying that the tools be installed. That installation failed to install the tools and I believe there was an error in the core data engine installation. I received an error message to check the logs but to be honest, there are meagbytes of log files and I don't really know what to check.
The core log looked like this:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup beginning at Mon Oct 29 11:11:04 2007 Process ID : 4816 E:ENGLISHSQL2005DEVELOPERSQL Server x86Serverssetup.exe Version: 2005.90.1399.0 Running: LoadResourcesAction at: 2007/9/29 11:11:3 Complete: LoadResourcesAction at: 2007/9/29 11:11:3, returned true Running: ParseBootstrapOptionsAction at: 2007/9/29 11:11:3 Loaded DLL:E:ENGLISHSQL2005DEVELOPERSQL Server x86Serversxmlrw.dll Version:2.0.3604.0 Complete: ParseBootstrapOptionsAction at: 2007/9/29 11:11:4, returned true Running: ValidateWinNTAction at: 2007/9/29 11:11:4 Complete: ValidateWinNTAction at: 2007/9/29 11:11:4, returned true Running: ValidateMinOSAction at: 2007/9/29 11:11:4 Complete: ValidateMinOSAction at: 2007/9/29 11:11:4, returned true Running: PerformSCCAction at: 2007/9/29 11:11:4 Complete: PerformSCCAction at: 2007/9/29 11:11:4, returned true Running: ActivateLoggingAction at: 2007/9/29 11:11:4 Complete: ActivateLoggingAction at: 2007/9/29 11:11:4, returned true Running: DetectPatchedBootstrapAction at: 2007/9/29 11:11:4 Complete: DetectPatchedBootstrapAction at: 2007/9/29 11:11:4, returned true Running: LaunchPatchedBootstrapAction at: 2007/9/29 11:11:4 Error: Action "LaunchPatchedBootstrapAction" threw an exception during execution. Error information reported during run: "c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup Bootstrapsetup.exe" finished and returned: 1706 Aborting queue processing as nested installer has completed Message pump returning: 1706
I believe residual office files are throwing the installation off but that could be an erroneous conclusion as the OWC portion always fails with a 1706.
What I need is basic SQL functionality and it's really important that I have the Studio Management Console.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what log to check toward getting a core data engine installed along with the olls and documentation for SQL Developer?
I ve been coping with the follwing Error for 2 months , and i desperately need sb helping me out with a practical solution. the error has become a real pain in the neck 4 me .I want to install SQL 2005 standard edition on a vista ultimate however the error appears at almost the end of installation proceess .and the sql server database services fails to be installed on vista????? and doesnt get a check mark. this is the Error:
sQL Server Setup failed to execute a command for server configuration. The error was [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Windows NT user or group 'computer-nameSQLServer2005MSSQLUser$computer-name$MSSQLSERVER' not found. Check the name again..
I have a notbook with vista ultimate and i am trying to install sql server 2005 (developers edition ) on it. The setup fails during the installation giving the message thaht the database service didnot start succesfully. I ahve tried a number of solutions for the issue but all in vain. The user i am using to install the server is an admin user.Plus i am very sure taht there are no h/w dependencies taht are causing the problem.
Can some one please help me . I have been banging my head withteh issue for the past 4-5 days and some some will be reallyy appreciated

A've installed Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005 and all the SP's necessary. My Problem is I do not have the possability to install a SQL Server Instance of any kind, therefore it is not possible to start any of the SQL Server 2005 Configuration Tools.
I Get the Warnings during the Installation process:

Any help at all is very much appreciated, thanks a lot.
I am having issues installing SQL 2005 DEV ED. on Vista RTM. During the install of the Native Client I recieve the following error which seems to mees up the rest of the intall package.
An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server Native client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'sqlncli.msi'.
I downloaded vista and sql 2005 developer edition and both are burned to a DVD.
Ok guys, I am trying to install Sql server 2005 on Vista but I am still stuck with this warning message in the System Configuration Check during Sql server 2K5 installation :
SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility (Warning) Messages * SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility
* 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.
Now, I know I need to install SP2 but how the hell I am going to install SP2 if Sql server 2005 doesn't install any of the components including Sql server Database services, Analysus services, Reporting integration services( only the workstation component is available for installation)?
Any work around for this issue?
P.S.: I didn't install VS.NET 2005 yet, can this solve the problem?

I am having this problem since I installed the new windows Vista.
I am trying to install the SQL Server 2005 developer edition on Windows Vista, but After installation finish successfuly I open the start menu to surprise that I could not find the Shortcuts to open the SQL Server and create new database and tables etc... I opened the full path of the exe files "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsBinnVSShellCommon7IDE" but there are not any file there, even that I searched for the exe files names but they are not existed. It looks that after instalation complete that the SQL Server is not installed on Windows Vista.
So, my question is: After installing the SQL Server 2005 SP2 for windows Vista, will the problem be solved? Or there is something else to do ON WINDOWS VISTA.
Please, I need the answer for this problem, because I need to work on SQL Server 2005 very hard.

This is the first time using this forum, I hope I can get some help.
I have started studying SLQ Server 2000 at home as I have a Video Tutorial but I thought I need to install SLQ Server 2000 to follow the training. I have been trying to instal SLQ Server 2000 Enterprise Edition on both Windows XP Pro Pack2 and Windows 2000 but I get this message saying "Microsoft SQL server 2000 enterprise edition server component is not supported on this operating system only client component will be available for installation "
I do not know anything about SQL and I thought I must have been doing something wrong otherwise it would not give me the same warning on both operating systems.
I do not know what is it I do wrong and I would appreciate your help and assistance.
I am tring to install SQL standard edition on a laptop with vista ultermate, I have ISS 7 instaled and active (test by http:\localhost) but when SQL install does is system check it reports that ISS is not install or not enabled, hence the rest of the installation fails also get a error 1706
I'm trying to install just the client components of SQL 2005 on my clean Vista Ultimate machine and am not having a great deal of luck. From what I can see in this forum I'm not the only one. I apologise if this post is going over old ground but none of the other threads quite deal with my query so here goes.
I'm installing from a SQL 2005 Dev DVD. Compatibility checks are being passed fine but once the actual installation starts I get an OWC 11 failure followed by workstation components etc failure. None of the workstation tools are installed. I have tried installing OWC 11 but because I am using Office 2007 it won't let me do it. I can't understand why OWC should cause a failure of the workstation tools installation.
The intention is to use the Vista box as a development client with VS 2005 to work on a Windows 2003 server hosting SQL 2005 Enterprise.
I would really apreciate a steer on this one as I am close to abandoning Vista and going back to XP Pro which would be a real shame.
Just to be clear, I would like to know if a problem I face is due to an error on my part or a limitation on Microsoft's. In my experience (several hours-long installations, removals, reinstallations, using the skuupgrade=1 parameter from the command line, ad nauseum) I have concluded that the best one can do installing SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition from the Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition package is to get the Express Edition, (actually styled MSSMLBIZ). In particular, what I'm hoping to be able to do is program to a test database that I have from my client, which I was able to do on my XP Professional machine. But on my new Vista Ultimate 64 bit machine (which will only let me install the x64 version of SQL Server 2005), I get an instance that is characterized as SQL Server Express and generates the following error message when I try to attach to the same MDF file to which I was able to attach under my prior, XP-Pro based configuration:

The Developer Edition, of course, is supposed to enable us to program to all levels of the database, and I would hate to think it is really crippled in this way, but after uninstalling everything, reinstalling multiple times (devoting several days to the process), it sure beats me how I can overcome this problem short of going back to my old machine. Any definitive answers on this apparent limitation, or useful procedural advice on installation quirks, would be appreciated (and, yes, I've spent a lot of time going through the installation/setup forum -- if the answer is there I can't find it).
