SQL Server 2005 Express - Can I Install The SP1 Directly With No Other Previous Installation
Apr 30, 2008
Dear Forum,
our goal is to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1. So far we used to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition which resulted in the Version 9.00.1399 (basic run time machine).
We noticed that SP1 is almost the same sice as the basic run time machine. Still, we then we applied SP1. during the installation, at the window "Existing Components", the "SQL Server Database Services 9.00.1399.06 is listed with a check box. When I tick the box, the installation can continue. SP1 resulted in the version 9.00.2047. (checked on sqlservr.exe).
my question: can we install directly SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1 without any previous SQL Server installation at all to save installation time (and errors)?
I do now that the service packs are considered "cumulative", so SP2 includes SP1, but I do not know of SP1 includes the basice runtime machine.
I installed sql server express 1st time successfully. But later I found that there's no solution explorer(there's no item under file-new called Project). To reinstall, I removed all the components completely,including engine,msee,bol,sampledb. But could not install the engine again. I've downloaded the installation files several times and tried both sqlexpr32.exe and sqlexpr_adv.exe. The same error log:

When I was installing vs.net 2008, I chose to install sql server express. But after I installed it, I found I could only see the configuration tools of sql server, but I couldn't find the sql server express service. When I ran the surface area configuration for services and connections, I msgbox came out and told me "No sql server 2005 components were found on the specified computer.....". Why? Thanks.
I have been trying to install SQL Server 2005 developer version on my second laptop IBM Thinkpad Windows XP PRO, for the first time. All other components installed successfully except the database. I 've tried selecting the named instance and default instance it didn't make any difference. I have a Admin role on the laptop and as a service id I selected my user id. password and domain. I am running the setup behind my company's firewall.
The error in the log is :

I have tried to attach the log but I think it is too big. I cannot post this message.
Please let me know another way to send the log file.
Downloading and installing VS 2008 Express also created a Miscrosoft SQL Server folder. How do I install the SQL Server 2005 Express?The following is what I found from the HELP menu bar of the VS 2008 Express. Where can I find the sqlexpr.exe? TIA,Jeffrey
To install SQL Server Express To begin installation, double-click sqlexpr.exe. Note: SQL Server Express is available as a self-extracting executable file (sqlexpr.exe) from both the Visual Studio 2005 CD and the SQL Server Express Web site. SQLEXPR.EXE installs on x86-based computers and to the 32-bit subsystem (WOW64). For more information, see Hardware and Software Requirements (SQL Server Express)
I had some issues on my server and had to uninstall .Net Framework 2.0, SQL Server 2005 Express, and SQL Express Toolkit. I installed SQL Server 2005 Express and it seemed to be ok.
Then my problems all started when I tried to install SQL Express Toolkit because I needed to install DTS Wizard again, and it errors out and wouldn't let me install it. So I uninstalled everything that's listed above again.
I then tried to install SQL Server 2005 Express again, and on the second from last screen, while its listing all the components and configuring them, I get the following error as it's configuring the last component... which was the SQL Server Database Services.
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup ----------------------------------------------------------- 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 tried to re-install the SQL Server Express another 7 times wth no luck.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.
I'm getting an error while trying to install SQL Server Express 2005 Express Edition. I'm attaching the log of the installation process here. Please throw some light on the same.

I am new to this sql server thing.And for last couple of days i m trying to figure out whether we can install sql server 2000 ent edition in a server after installing or upgrading sql server 2005 from (sql server 2000) . As sql server 2005 is know to exist side by side with earlier sql server versions .
And coming to the problem which i m facing is , I have installed sql server 2005 ent in windows 2000 server in which sql server 2000 is residing.Later when i observerd i realised that actually i have upgraded 2000 to sql 2005 server (which i hav done after consulting many people).As a result few of the client systems which were running sql server personal edition were unable to access their data from the database.For temporary relief i have installed sql server 2005 express edition plus management studio in the client systems . The doubts which i am having are
1) what happens if i uninstall sql server 2005 2) Is it possible to install sql server 2000 ent edition now to work along with sql server 2005
thanks in advance .....waiting for your quick replies ..any idea's
I installed VS 2008 Express with an option to download SQL Server 2005 Express. I noticed there is a '90' folder under my Microsoft SQL Server folder. I assumed this the folder for SQL Server 2005 Express. How do I set up my SQL Server2005 Express, so that I can use some sample databases for my VS 2008 Express? Any difference for SQL Server 2005 Express between VS 2008 Expressdownload and SQL Server 2005 Express download? TIA,Jeffrey

I have never used SQL Server, except that I did use MS Access, so after I downloading and installing the SQL Server Express 2005 ... I really do not know how to make it works!
1. Let say I would like to create a table at my local computer (1st) as a Server, how I do it (configuration)?
2. Then I have a second PC, as a client how I link to that table?
Might be they are 2 silly questions, but I would like to try out the new SQL Server Express and compare what are the better features with MS Access!
(1) I have already installed of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition first.
(1) Can I install visual studio 2008 without the 2005 express edition of SQL server? Will be any problems because I don't have express edition of SQL server? Do I need to install the express edition of SQL server as well?
(3) How to use SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition instance on visual studio 2008?

When i try to install SQL server 2005 Express, French version (after installation of : Framework 2.0, Visual Web Developper), i get the following error :
I have installed the Beta version for Windows Vista and installed VS 2005 for Software Developers which includes SQL Server Express.
When installing the SQL Server express part compatibility issues appear. Do i need to install a fresh copy of SQL Server Express which inlcludes Service Pack 1?
I cannot connect to any mdf file through the data connection section in the VS 2005 IDE. Cant remember the exact error message, something like "Cannot find the entry or starting point".
I am running a fresh install off the latest Dotnetnuke starter kit and get a database compatibility error so my guess is this could also be as a result of SP 1 not being installed?
I downloaded SQL Server Express 2005 SP2 from Microsoft site. I tried to install it but I get this error message: An Installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the isntallation package 'sqlncli.msi'

I've installed SQL Server Express 2005 on several computers successfully, but on two completely dissimilar computers it fails with the same error message. One is running Win2k + SP4; the other is WinXP + SP2. In both cases, the user has full Administrator rights.
The message occurs while installing the "SQL Server Database Services" component. It is (deep breath):

I have tried installing from both a packaged and an exploding installation, freshly downloaded, but the same message always appears. While using the exploded installation, it is clear that the file referred to exists and appears to be valid (the manifest looks good and the cat file opens and is certified valid).
The exact same setup files have been used on other computers (both Win2k and WinXP) with no problems. Although it is a long path, I don't think that is causing the problem because, again, it works on other machines. The folder containing the setup files is not shared.
The contents of c:winntwinsxs looks okay. The corresponding ATL and CRT manifests are present for the same version.
The web hasn't thrown up any clues, so I'm at a bit of a loss about what to try now.
When i try to install this it always says that the intallation unexpectedly failed and to review the setup sumery log file. How can i get this to work??
During installation, I get a warning message that the hardware doesn't meet minimum requirement. But I'm running it on a laptop with 30 gigs of free space and running Windows XP home edition.
When I click on install anyway, I end up getting an error message that I need a "sqlncli.msi" file that can't be found.
Could it be because I have both 2.0 NET and 3.0 NET installed?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The program shortcut "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt" seems to be mising from the "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt" Start menu added by the current Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit. Where is it? How to workaround?
I am trying to do Download details SQL Server 2005 Samples and Sample Databases (April 2006) -> GettingStartedWithSQLSamples.htm which says "a. Open a Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 command prompt. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, point to Visual Studio Tools, and then click Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt." but I can find no such command prompt within "Visual Studio Tools", only "Visual Studio 2005 Remote Debugger{, Configuration Wizard}".
What's wrong? How to fix or workaround? I'd install .NET SDK 2.0 to get it's Command Prompt but that's about 570MB merely for a command prompt!

I have gotten so far as to find an entry in my SQLSTP.TXT filethat says that c:mssql7 was detected so the install fails.Now, to start with there is no directory called C:mssql7 on thisserver. I have gone through all MS articles on manual removal of SQLserver and instances. I have searched the registry for mssql7 andremoved any keys that matched, as per MS article I have searched onSQLBOOT.dll and it is not present anywhere on my system and I still getthe same results.2:07:44 Begin Action: Detection12:07:44 SQL Server version already installed: 7.00.62312:07:44 Previous Install SQL Path: C:MSSQL712:07:44 Previous Install SQL Data Path: C:MSSQL712:07:44 End Action Detection12:07:44 Begin Action: ODBCLocked12:07:44 End Action ODBCLocked12:07:44 GetDefinition returned: 112:07:44 Previous SQL Server ProductType: MSDE [0x4]12:07:44 This combination of Package and Operating System allows a fullproduct install.can anyone think of anything here..what else could be causing the server to think there is a previousversion of SQL 7 on this box!!!?
I have just downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express version, enabled TCIP and Named pipes but when I try to link to the tables with Access 2003 or try to create a database connection I get an error 17 "connection failed - SQL Server does not exist or access is denied".
I am able to open Management Studio Express and see all of the databases, including another SQL Server 2005 server that I have. I am able to Link to my other server but I can't get see my local install.
