SQL Server 2005 Standard Will Not Install MSSQL Default Instance
Jun 21, 2007
I installed SQL Server 2005 flawlessly yesterday. When login as "sa" through SQL Server Management Studio, I get an error message saying it cannot connect to my PC.
I checked the MSSQL Server Service. It is not started and cannot be started because it's looking for a path that does not exist!.
The folder in question is missing.
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL
The following folders do exist:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2
I initially suspected this problem was cause by a previous MSDE 2000 installation.
I uninstalled SQL Server 2005 & MSDE 2000.
I re-installed SQL Server 2005. Same problem.
I executed
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/320873
to make sure all registries are removed and manually deleted C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server€™s content
Re-installed SQL Server 2005. Same problem.
I do not know what do in order to get SQL Server 2005 up & running.
I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 onto Windows Server 2003 Small Business Edition. Previously SQL Server 2000 from the SBE disk was installed, automatic updates are enabled.
I have selected the default instance and everything I try results in the error:
An instance with the same name is already installed on this computer. To proceed with SQL Server Setup, provide a unique instance name.
Log file says;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Machine : ISAINTERNET Product : Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Product Version : 9.00.1399.06 Install : Failed Log File : C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGFilesSQLSetup0002_ISAINTERNET_SQL.log Last Action : DetectInstanceClash Error String : An instance with the same name is already installed on this computer. To proceed with SQL Server Setup, provide a unique instance name. Error Number : 28086 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server. There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'. I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but this doesn't work either.
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated Thanks...
I'm new to SQL Server, and have just started to work through the MS Press ADO.Net 2.0 Step-by-Step book.
In the beginning of the book, at the point where the Add Connection box comes up, it says to type in the Server Name text box, (local)SQLEXPRESS, as the book takes for granted you have SQL Express installed, and hence this is the instance name.
I have Visual Studio 2005 Professional, and SQL Server 2005 Standard installed. What would the instance of SQL Server be in this case?
Good day! I installed SQL 2005 Standard Edition in my XP machine, but I don't have any instances. When I use Add/Remove programs, and click Change in Microsoft SQL Server 2005, it says that "No instances have been installed. To add a new instance, click the Add component hyperlink", but I cannot see the hyperlink. Why was the default instance never installed? How do I install a new instance?
I have SQL server 2005 Developers edition instaled on W2003 only one instance. When I'm trying to install SP2, service pack can't see default instance. I can only upgrace tools and other stuf. I need to upgrade server.
Problem: When the application installs it requires SQL Express Server 2005. If it does not exist it will install it or rollback. -> continue installation -> When the form attempts to locate an SQL Instance on a machine that has not had SQL server or any components connected before it shows up as <null>. I need to have access to the server(s) instances in order to build the application database inside SQL. Am I using the wrong approach with SQLDMO? Is there adifferent method to access the installed SQL Express 2005 connection string?
What happens when you install a SQLEXPRESS instance on a machine that already has SQL Server 2005? Will the SQLEXPRESS still run in the limited mode or will it sense that an full standard version of SQL Server 2005 is already present and just "upgrade" itself?
On the otherhand, how do I "upgade" an existing instance of SQLEXPRESS to a full version of SQL Server 2005 standard edition without uninstalling and installing the standard edition. If I have both the instances then will the SQLEXPRESS be freed from its limits?
I am installing SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition for the first time on a Windows 2003 Standard server. I have already configured the system with the pre-req's. I am trying to install the workstation piece of it, and I am getting the following message:
Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools -- Error 29549. Failed to install and configure assemblies C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90NotificationServices9.0.242Binmicrosoft.sqlserver.notificationservices.dll in the COM+ catalog. Error: -2146232062 Error message: Unknown error 0x80131902 Error description: Configuration section system.transactions/machineSettings could not be created. Machine.config is missing information
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the software with no luck.
I have an issue with trying to install SQL 2005 standard on my XP machine. I get an .hta file that is not readable and when I btpass that I get a pop-up message: please go to the control panel to install and configure system components.
I'm attempting to install SQL Server 2005 Standard, on my personal PC which isn't on a network, there are no user accounts besides myself, I'm signed-on as admin.
The logs from C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOG, all appear successful, although there are many more logs.
When I look under Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services, I see no service at all for SQL Server.
I attempted to use the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration Tool, which told me no instances of the data-base had been loaded.
I must admit, the install went a bit too fast for me to believe it was correct. I was never even asked for the product-key.
This particular copy, was bundled with Visual Studio 2005 Pro, which was given to me by someone who attended a Microsoft seminar/demo of some sort.
I've never used SQL Server before, and know nothing about it, so I hope I'm posting in the right forum.
Any help would be appreciated, and I can provide listings of any log-file if needed.
Thanxxxxxxxxxx in advance for any replies. I'm studying for MCTS, and am trying to work through ADO.Net Step by Step.
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

I have question about install both default instance and name instance on to one server. Do I need follow a specific order such as default instance first then name instance?
If my server already has two or more name instances, can I install one more default instance?
I am planning to work with replication topic and i have a problem with it.
I have installed a SQL server 2005 standard edition.When i try creating a new publication it comes out with this error
"Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is unable to access replication components because replication is not installed on this instance of sql server.
for information about installing replication,see installing replication in sql server books online
Additional information: Execute permission denied on object 'sp_MS_replication_installed",database'master',owner'dbo'. (Microsoft SQL server ,Error:229)
I have tried inserting the CD and reinstalling it.but didnt work.
When i tried to Remove sql server from control panel add/remove programs it shows me the following components to be deleted.but then even after restarting my machine i find everything in start->all programs.
For ISVs who distribute/install SQL Server Express with their software, what is the best practice when it comes to choosing between installing a default or a named instance?
From what I can tell, I should install a named instance, so that the named instance can be uninstalled when my software is uninstalled without hosing other named instances or the default instance, but I'm not 100% sure of this.
I have just installed SQL Server 2005. I was not given a choice during installation (that I remember seeing anyway) about which drive I wanted to place the default SQL instance on.
It ended up on C: and I needed it on D:.
So my questions are:
Is there a way to move it to D: that is easier than the way you had to go about it in SQL 2000? Is there a way to do it during setup so I can avoid this in the future?
Tried to uninstall SQL Server 64-bit on Windows 2003 remotely. All components uninsntalled properly except Reporting Services.
The log file lists the following error -
/***** ReportingServicesService!library:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ReportServerDatabaseUnavailableException: The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing., ; Info: Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ReportServerDatabaseUnavailableException: The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
*******/
Now I cannot see Reporting Services under Add/Remove programs (ARPWrapper.exe /remove). It is also not displayed when using Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (msicuu2.exe). I can start the default instance of RS via Reporting Services Configuration manager and it can also be also started under Windows Services. BTW, the IIS folder structure is under the default website for Reports and ReportServer is present.
So, now how do I go about uninstalling SQL Reporting Services when I cannot see it (as an installed program) without rebuilding the machine ?

We successfully installed the first INstance of SQL Server 2005 with success. NOw we are trying to install a second instance and seems to get hung up when configuring the Database Services.
Anyone run into this issue? Should we stop all services from running on the server?
We would like to install Sql 2005 Enterprise Edition (including database engine, reporting service, integration service and analysis service) as a sepearte instance on a server which already has Sql 2000 with reporting, analysis services. We do not want to disturb the existing sql 2000 setup.
I heard that reporting services are instance unaware application. Please let us know If I can install the sql 2005 on 2000 server.
I want to integrate SQL Server 2005 setup into my Testproject Configurator setup. SQL Server 2005 install files should not be included in TestProject setup. If SQL Server 2005 is not installed on the target computer and install files are available then TestProject setup will install SQL Server 2005 with myProjectInstance instance name.
how the setup can install the custom instance name.?
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?
I Try to install SQL Server Express in Windows 2003 Standard edition x64 and have some problems.
It say that can not instal client and say to use sqlncli_x64.msi, but I can not find this packege to install this client and I receive one alert with ASP.NET register 64.
I Check all request systems requirements many times and looks ok.
How can I solve this to install properly the SQL 2005 Express? When the setup finish say that was not possiblem to install SQL Server 2005 Express.
I have SQL Express 2005 with Advanced Services on a development box that I also want to have installed side-by-side with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition so I can develop apps using either edition based on the features I need (or don't need). From what I understand from sifting through other posts is that side-by-side installs of these two editions is supported and I should setup a named instance for each edition (SQLEXPRESS for the express edition and MSSQLSERVER for the standard edition). Is this setup accurate or is there another/better way?
Also, does anybody know if side-by-side installations of Reporting Services is also supported? If I install SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with Reporting Services, will there be two different report servers running in IIS? Since there are different features in Reporting Services between the two editions, I'm not sure how side-by-side installations will effect one another.
Followed this article to move my model and msdb databes but I think I messed up. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345408.aspx The instance will not start because it says one of the files does not match it's primary file (not sure if it's model or msdb)
I can bring the instance up in single user mode (NET START mssqlserver /f /t3608) but when I try to do a query to re-do my alter statements, it says i can't attach because only one seesion is allowed. in 2000 i used to be able to start query analyzer without starting enterprise manager..
When i try and start with a minimal config (sqlservr -c -m) it won't start. I get an error saying that one of my files does not match it's primary file (either model or msbd don't know which) any ideas????????
We would like to install Sql 2005 Enterprise Edition (including database engine, reporting service, integration service and analysis service) as a sepearte instance on a server which already has Sql 2000 with reporting services and analysis services. We do not want to disturb the existing sql 2000 setup.
If we do that then what will happen to my earlier sql 2000 reporting service? Will it be upgraded to sql 2005 reporting service? I heard that reporting services are instance unaware application. Where will be the default reporting service database available?
Since some analysis services features are only available in Enterprise version , I have to upgrade my SQL 2005 server from standard edition to enterpise edition.
So I uninstall originial standard version of analysis service and install a Enterprise version. However, the analysis service is still a standard version after installation.
Is it possible to keep data engine as standard version and install a enterprise version of analysis service?
I have a question about using MSSQL server 2005 standard edition in Clustering mode. I would like to build a msql cluster with only 2 servers (2 nodes).
I read here -> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=818234dc-a17b-4f09-b282-c6830fead499&DisplayLang=en page 5 that you can use MSSQL server 2005 standard edition in Clustering mode with 2 nodes.
But my question is : Can I use windows 2003 standard edition (Clustering mode managed ????) or I only can use windows 2003 enterprise edition ?
While I installed on the active node I got the following error: A recently applied update, KB921896, failed to install
After that installation finished , but query the server version I get: SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')
9.00.1399.06 RTM Standard Edition
On the Visual Studion Manager Help About I get 9.00.3042
Error logs are below. Can you please tell me how can I overcome this?
TIA.
I paste here the summary and the hotfix logs of the primary node. There is also the Redist9_Hotfix_KB921896_SqlSupport.msi.log but it is too long to paste here.

I want to install SQLExp2K5 with Advanced Services on a standalone basis on my Dell Inspiron XPS laptop (Win XP sp2, .NET 2.0; 2gb RAM; 8mb broadband; hardware firewall/router) so that I can learn SQL/VB/VWD, and want to use SQL E 2K5 without internet connectivity (at least until I know what the hell I'm doing!)
Really confused as to what component(s), and services I should/should not install - so I've listed my questions below:
1. Service Account: As I'm not on / dont have a domain, i presume using a domain user account is not an option for me. Should I use the Local Service account ? If so, what are/can be the issues in doing so?
2. Authentication Mode: Is Windows Authentication the one to use for a standalone install?; how would I enable the "sa" account and set an "sa" password? In fact, do I even need an"sa" account / password for a standalone, non internet connected install?
3. Components at install: Is it OK to install all components first off?
4. IIS: Is it possible to install IIS and not allow it access to the internet (or is this a stupid question -bearing in mind I dont really know what IIS is/does)
5: Business Intelligence Development Suite: How do I add BIDS once (IF) I manage to install SQLExp2K5-Adv.Ser,?
6. SQLExp2K5 Books on-line: Am I right in thinking that I should install this after installing SQLExp2K5?
7: Visual Basic Express/Visual Web Developer Express: Do these need to be configured seperately to work with SQLExp2K5?
Sorry about the length of this post, but have tried to be as clear as possible. Also apologise in advance for silly/stupid questions :)
