SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS / Vista - Business Edition Issue
Jan 23, 2008
Good day all, I wanted to get some feedback on what I think may be an issue between SQL Server 2005 Express and Vista. Specifically I use Vista Business edition and I was trying to execute the same bit of code on two different machines with the same exact database. The ONLY difference was Vista. See code below...what I doing in XP Professional SP2 was inserting an image into a table. This worked well on XP but the same code failed to actually insert the image. A row was created in 'myTable' but not binary data from the image insert. Can someone please advise or help me - it goes without saying that I an quite frustrated. ;-)
CREATE TABLE myTable(FileName nvarchar(60),
FileType nvarchar(60), Document varbinary(max))
GO
INSERT INTO myTable(FileName, FileType, Document)
SELECT 'titleist-dtsolo.jpg' AS FileName,
'.jpg' AS FileType,
* FROM OPENROWSET(BULK N'C:UsersBrian EvansDesktopgolfPremiumsgolfPremiumsProjectWebImages itleist-dtsolo.jpg', SINGLE_BLOB) AS Document
GO
Selecting from the results yields a row with no image data, and I did verify the path and image before and after running this sample.
I want to install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on a computer with Vista Business. It looks like a lot of issues. (1) Can I do this? (2) Does anyone have any instrucions?
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!
Firstly, can someone confirm that this can be done. Because I am starting to wonder.
I have downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Express install, and attempted to install. Everything goes well. Computer scan indicates that everything is in place, but then when it goes to install the components it states that the following components failed:
(Successful items were SQL Setup Support Files, SQL VSS Writer, OWC11, SQL Server Backward-Compatibility Files, SQL Server Management Studio Express).
For those Items that failed, I just get a message stating "Setup failed. Refer to Setup Log'. The setup log tells me little to nothing about why these components failed.
I am also getting the following message part way through install "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.mis'". Does anyone know what this means? I downloaded the install from microsoft.com just a few days ago, so if this isn't "valid", then where do I get a valid one.
I'm totally stuck. Have spent almost a day trawling documentation etc. to find why these have not installed, but cannot find any indication of why they wont install.. everything that needs to be in place is. Hoping someone has had similar issues and can help.
I watched and followed the Intro to VB 2008 Express, but in the final part of the video, when you add a database, i did everything as the video says, still i get:
An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Unable to load DLL 'sqlceme35.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
Ive tried the fix stated in another forum, the one about changing the "Target CPU" but the option doesn appear, what does appear its the "Platfrom" dropdown list, but its fixed to "Any CPU" and dont have any more options.
Ive also downloaded Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 ENU and "re-installed" and selected repair, followed the steps, rebooted and still nothing.
I'm a newbie to Reporting Services so please forgive my ignorance...
I've recently installed SQL Server Express 2005 with Reporting Services on my Vista Business Notebook (with no network connections) and have installed VS C# Express as well as the Business Intelligence Studio to create reports.
My C# application can connect to SQL Server fine, however, the reports I created with Business Studio refuses to deploy to the server due to the following reason:
"The permissions granted to user 'localhostJenny' are insufficient for performing this operation".
I find this odd as I've been able to deploy reports on my other Windows XP machine (with SQL Server Express) no probs at all. Additionally, I cannot see the 'Site settings' link within Report Manager (Web) that I'd normally get with an admin account (i.e. on my Win. XP machine). Various sources indicate that my account has insufficient access rights to view this.
Having browsed through seemingly endless blogs and forums, I suspect that my local account has not been configured to access the Report Manager web client to publish, manage and administer the site.
I have tried the surface area tool for SQL Server, but I suspect that this is relevant only to SQL Server DB access and management. Adding an administrator here does nothing.
The question is, how can I grant access to myself (local account) to allow me to publish reports via business studio, and at the same time - administer Report Manager Site Settings - on my vista notebook??
I would be extremely grateful for any help on this matter - I've tried ceaseless reinstallations, but to no avail!
ok, today i upgraded to Vista, but i can't create database. create database permission denied in database master. ("Microsoft sql server Error 262") it must be the Vista thing because i don't have any problem with xp. yes, i the patch installed. I use SQl server management studio with Windows Authentication
Is it possible to install sql express on a 2 cpu Vista pc, even though this is stated to NOT be supported, by assigning CPU affinty, e.g., something similar to c:windowssystem32cmd.exe /C start /afinity 1 notepad.exe?
Im encountering yet another problem in Vista(Vista Home Premium). I have turned on all IIS features from control panel. When I open http://localhost it gives the error HTTP Error 404.4 - Not Found
Description: The resource you are looking for does not have a handler associated with it
How should i resolve this?
Also, when I try to install SQL server 2005 express edition, it gives the warning that IIS is not installed, though I have installed all the features and it is running.
I have been struggling for the past one week, just to install SQL server on vista!
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.
Past one week I have been struggling to install SQL server express edition on my laptop which is preinstalled with Vista Basic. After it commences installation, it says the .net 2.0 on the system in corrupted.
Please let me know how to proceed ASAP... i have a project due for submission this week!
I read your blogs regularly on SQL-Server Express 2005 which I have been actively deploying with my software product for about a year now. I have migrated most of my products to SQL-Server from Microsoft Access. I have found SQL-Express very stable and have had no significant problems. My products are mainly accounting based such as payroll systems, hotel management systems, school academic results management systems.
My favourite front ends tools are Visual Basic 6.0, and Microsoft Access. Typically, with MS Access I link to tables via the SQL-Server ODBC driver and all the client front ends share a common security file, an access work group file. I have been using this approach for up to a decade with no problems.
Currently I am deploying a hotel management system and payroll system in a hotel about to be opened. Against our advice, they purchased computer systems running Windows Vista Business instead of XP which we are sure our software suites, the wireless network and other software solutions such as CCTV work perfectly. This has caused a lot of problems.
On my side I had the extra task of dealing with Office 2007. 2 key problems arose.
After setting up a simple Ethernet network connecting the Vista computers I could not connect to SQL-Server Express in Windows Authentication mode via SQL Native Client and SQL Server ODBC drivers from another computer on the network (i could only connect locally); I could only connect to it from another machine using SQL Authentication mode, which is not my preference.
Secondly, I could not share the security file with more than one client of the network. The file seems to be locked exclusively by one client that first grabs the file, hence you cannot log on to software. This defeats clientserver idea. HEEEEELP.
A way round this was to have at least one computer on the network running XP (or any windows not Vista) and share the security file from it. I wish to know the reason for this behaviour on Vista.
As to the first problem of not being able to connect of SQL-Server Express 2005 via Windows Authentication mode from another machine on the network, I found the cause: The PASSWORD PROTECTED SHARING setting on Sharing and Discovery option for networking on Windows Vista.
When this setting is turn ON you cannot connect to the SQL-Server engine. The error Login failed for user ": Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection is given. When I turn off this setting, I immediately could log on. I have validated this on several setups and this seems to the consistent. PLEASE SHARED THIS With others.
I am attempting to install SQL Server 2005 express with SP2 on Vista Business - as a requirement for a new software package. The installation fails at the point of installing performace counters - the errors are below. I have been unable to find any support entry for this error:

Hi y'all, I just know that SQL Server Express Edition SP2 is being released by Microsoft recently, and from previous informations I gathered; it seemed that SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is not compatible with Windows Vista (any editions). With the release of SP2, does this mean SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is now compatible with Windows Vista? If so, do I have to install .NET Framework v2.0 first in my Windows Vista Business edition? BecauseI know that Vista Business edition already has .NET Framework v3.0 in it. Thanks for your help! Appreciate it...
I downloaded and installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit. Installs completed successfully, and I can launch the SS Management Studio, but when I launch SS Business Intelligence Development Studio, I get message saying "Windows is searching for devenv.exe". When I search for this file I don't find it on my hard drive.
I thought I'd reinstall the SS Express Edition Toolkit, but I can't find this application in the Control Panel Installed Programs list, so I can't uninstall it.
Any ideas as to how I can get SS Business Intelligence Studio working?
I have been trying to install SQL Server 2005 (Developer Edition) on a computer with Vista Business. I can't seem to be able to install SQL Server 2005 SP2 and when I attempt to login, I get the message.

I've been attempting to install SQL 2005 Standar on my Vista Business laptop. I am able to install all the components except for Reporting Services - the checkbox for it is disabled. I have installed/activated IIS, so I don't know why this option is still unavailable to me. Can anyone assist me?
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 got an error while installing SQL Server 2005 SP2 Express Edition on my Laptop. I don't know how this error coming, I search lot in Web, but I did't get solution.
This is the error: alert box displaying with following error. "this machine does not have a product that match this installation package"
Can someone tell me what I need to get Express on Vista, I see a lot of contradictory information. Michael Otey notes in his column SP1, but then I here SP2.... Do I have something I can run today ...if not when..
I have an SBS 2003 server that is running SQL 2000 standard edition which was recently upgraded to Small Business Server 2003 R2.
I have installed SQL 2005 workgroup edition on the SBS 2003 R2 server which acts both as an AD server and Exchange server. I installed SQL 2005 for the purpose of using SQL 2005 for my sharepoint services on the Small Business Server R2.
Now I have SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 workgroup edition installed, but I'm unsure whether I can uninstall the SQL 2000 and how to know whether the sharepoint instance is running in SQL 2005 or SQL 2000?
Additionally, I have some MSDE's running for WSUS and Server Reporting which are installed by the Small Business Server installation.
Which tools should I use to become familiar with identifying the databases and which version of the database engine is used for which database regardless of whether it is a SQL instance or a MSDE instance.
How can I identify which SQL versions are not in use and whether I can uninstall if not needed.
I've installed Visual Basic 2005 express edition & tried to connect to SQL Server 2005 express edition. I noticed that VB2005 Express Edition doesn't have any OLEDB provider for SQL Server. The only OLEDB Provider is for M.Access. Is this correct? if so, what should i do if i want to connect SQL Server 2005 express edition with VB2005 express edition by using OLEDB connection type?
I really appreciate any respond from you guys.. Thank's and waiting for the good news..
I am trying to install SQL 2005 Developer edition on my machine - Vista Business edition.
My machine has 2 GB RAM with 160 HDD. IIS is on. Still I am getting the following warring messages. - Minimum Hardware Requirement - IIS Feature Requirement
I am not able to proceed with the installation due to this.
I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 (Developer edition) on my Vista Ultimate machine.
I've got the IIS 7 features turned on; I've got the SP2 patch CD; and I've run every install as administrator. I've run the SQL Server setup before and after the SP2 patch
I'm doing a named instance using the built-in system account with windows authentication mode.
Is there any COMPLETE guide as to how to work through all these installation problems?
I've gotten same results after about six attempts.
These always install:

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....
I have been unable to create a replication from an SQL Server 2005 standard edition database to remote SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The remote express edition is on a Virtual Private Server we are leasing from a hosting company. The name of the remote DB is similar to vs572.si-vs572.com. I can connect to this with SQL server authentication through Management Studio and also with SSIS. But, I have been unable to create a push subscription (I have tried a test push subscription with the same publication to a local SQL Express server here in our office and this works fine).
Here is the error message: SQL Server Replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'VS572SQLEXPRESS'.
The hosting company had originally installed a shared SQL server which would not support replication. They then installed SQL Express edition and I was hoping this would allow us to run a replication.
I tried to connect to VS572SQLEXPRESS with out any luck. I check the remote connections, made sure replication was installed, etc., but no luck.
