Problem With Windows Server 2008 And SQL 2008 Express
Feb 25, 2008Hello!
Recently, I set up server with Windows Web Server 2008 RC1, SQL 2008 Express beta, .NET 3.5, IIS 7.
I'm running ASP.NET web application with SQL database. Everything works fine until the first application state on the server expires. After that, any postback that starts a new application state on the server and connects to the database, results in the following error:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
Is this a bug that will be fixed in release of Windows / SQL or am I doing something wrong?
Many thanks for help,
Jan

May 7, 2008Downloading 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

How To Set Up SQL Server 2005 Express After Install VS 2008 Express
May 7, 2008I 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?

VS 2008 And SQL Server Express
Jun 18, 2008I was wondering if this is normal. I am creating a website in VS 2008. I created a SQL db and am using SQL server express.
I can go into SQL server managment studio express and open the DB when I start my PC. I can still access the DB when I start VS 2008 and my project but when I run the project I can not access the DB any longer even when the project is not longer running and I'm in design mode. Even if I close VS 2008 I still cannot access DB through SQL server managment. The only way I can access the DB again is if I restart my PC.
Is this normal?
I am running Vista Ultimate.
Thanks,

VB 2005 And SQL Server 2008 Express
Mar 31, 2008I finally have SQL Server 2008 Express CTP up and running.
Should it be possible for a VB 2005 Application to connect to SQL Server 2008 Express?
Or does the VB 2005 Application have to be upgraded to VB 2008 (including service pack)?
Thanx,

Problem Using SQL Server Epress With VB Express 2008
May 3, 2008
I am using the Adventureworks database to to some development training in VB Express 2008.
I have reinstalled the the database from scratch three times. I can successfully attach the database in the SQL Server management studio, but as soon as I make a connection to the database in VB Express and then try to go back into the studio to verify my data changes, I get an error message that the log file does not match the data file. After I get that error in the SSMSE, I can no longer establish a connection in VB Express (login fail error message).
The only solution I've found is to reinstall the .mdf and .ldf files. Obviously, that's not getting me too far in my learning. Hopefully someone can help me out?
Sql Server 2008 Express With VWD2008 And SSMS
Apr 22, 2008
Hello,
On a windows 2003 server R2 x64, i had the Framework.net 3.5, Sql Server 2005 express (instance s423553 on NT SERVICENetwork) and Visual Web Developper 2008.
I installed Sql Server Express 2008 Express (install .SQLexpress with the local account sqlserv10). The first time (with the account NTSERVICENetwork), it failed. I uninstalled it and Sql Server Management Studio 2005. The second time, the install end properly. But, can't find SSMS. On a MsSql2008 microsoft page, i've found a link for SSMS 2005. So i installed it.
But, on this server, Sql Server Management Studio Express 2005 does not work with Sql Server 2008. I tried to use the 2008 Instance with Visual Web Developper 2008 but it didn't work (only compatible with sql server 2000, 2005....).
Could you help me please ?
Thank you.

Download Of Sql Server Management Studio Express For Sql Server 2008
Mar 28, 2008I just upgraded my Sql Server to 2008 and I was hoping that the link found in this page would provide the download to SSMSE for Sql Server 2008, but it redirects me to 2005 version. I don't any instances running with Sql Server 2005 that I could access through SSMSE 2005, so I can't use it. Does anyone have the link for download to SSMSE 2008? Or should I downgrade? And if, how can I downgrade?
Thank you very much, sorry by my misspellings.

SQL Server 2008 Release Candidate (Express)Beta
Jun 17, 2008I downloaded SQL Server 2008 Release Candidate (Express) Beta on 6/16/08. Installation started but failed. A message stated Microsoft NET Framework 2.0 SP2 needs to be installed first.
I downloaded SP2 and installed it. However, when I try again to install the SQL 2008 Release Candidate Beta I get the same message that SP2 must first be installed.
Can someone tell me how to make the SQL Beta version installer recognize the previously installed SP2 Service Pack?
Thanks, Norman
Add Data Connection To SQL Server Compact 3.5 From C# Express 2008
Apr 25, 2008
Well, what I want is to be able to do some tooling on a database (.sdf) on my WM5 device using C# Express 2008.
The problem is that when I select the "Tools/Connect to database" option, I choose my data source to be "Sql Server Compact 3.5" in the next screen, and when I press Continue, I am taken to the next screen, and here I cannot select the "ActiveSync connected device" in the "Data Source" section...it is disabled. The only option is selecting "My computer"...but I do not need that.
Is there something I need to install in order to activate that option?
Thanks,
Adrian

Question About SQL Server Express And Visual Studio 2008
Feb 12, 2008I already have SQL Server Express 2005 installed from having Visual Studio 2005 installed. How can I tell if it is the SP2 edition? It probably isn't, so my next question is what is going to happen when I install Visual Studio 2008, which I will be doing in a day or two...will the install overwrite SQL Server Express 2005 with the latest edition to SP2, assuming that the latest edition will be on the Visual Studio 2008 installation discs? I have not yet used SQL Server Express, so my knowledge level with it is very weak. What I'm hoping to find out with this question is what I'll have (with respect to SQL Server Express) and the install of Visual Studio 2008. I can't even figure out how to tell what version of SQL Server Express that I now have.

How To Uninstall Server 2008 Express Instance With Other Instances Present
May 15, 2015This is probably easy for some who have done it, but I have an installed Instance of SQL Server 2008 Express or SQL Server 2008 R2 Express I'll call Instance CCC and need to remove it. Â I have two other Express instances I'll call Instance AAA and Instance BBB. Â I want to uninstall Instance CCC without affecting the other two instances or the software that uses them. Â Instance CCC should have been installed as a SQL Server 2012 Express instance, so I need to remove the 2008 Instance of CCC and reinstall it as 2012. Â In all cases, I'm talking about SQL Server Express. Â Full SQL Server is not installed. Â
The Instances are all installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard server. Â Â
I have read that I can do this through Control Panel  >  Programs and Features, but that I can corrupt or mess up the other instances (AAA and BBB) if I don't do it right.  I'm uneasy about this, not having done it before, and do not want to affect the users of the AAA and BBB instances! Â
Error - SQL Server Default Settings / Visual Web Developer Express 2008
May 28, 2008I would occasionally get the error below when trying to access a database in my project/App_Data folder using Visual Web Developer Express 2008.
I would re-boot and the problem would go away.
I now have the problem all the time and am unable to access my database file in the App_Data folder nor ASPNETDB.mdf.
I am not trying to access a remote database. I have not knowingly changed any settings.
Has anyone seen this problem?
Can anyone help?

How To Install Management Studio Express 2005 After VS2008 On Server 2008?
May 31, 2008Ok so here's what happened:
Installed Server 2008 (64bit)
Installed VS2008 (+SQL 2005 Express, by default)
I've always installed SQL 2005 Dev (including the SQL Management Studio) before installing VS. Now I am trying to install just the management studio on this machine without success.
I tried installing the SQL workstation tools package from the SQL 2005 DVD but the installer detects the tools installed by SQL express (osql, etc.., but no management studio GUI) and the installer refuses to install anything else. I also tried downloading the separate installer for SQL management studio but it doesn't like something also: first thing the installer does is display this mesage:
"Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system For more information on supported configurations, see the product documentation."
Any way to do this without having to reinstall VS?
Thanks.
SQL Server Express 2008 - Missing Client Tools / Management Studio / Profiler
Dec 13, 2007
I downloaded and performed a full install of SQL Server Express 2008 Nov CTP. It was installed on a fresh installation of Windows Vista Enterprise x64.
During setup, I checked the 'Client Tools' box which has the description:
"Includes management and development tools: SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Server Configuration Manager, SQL Server Profiler, and Database Engine Tuning Advisor"
The installation ran fine with no errors. After install I looked for the Management Studio but couldnt find it anywhere. No SQL Server Profiler or Database Tuning Advisor either. The only tool that appears to have installed is the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
If I check my Start Menu, the only 2008 items that exist are

SQL Express 2005 Problem (with C# Express 2008)
Mar 20, 2008Hello
I recently installed the SQL Express 2005 program after successfully installing C# Express 2008.
When I add a new item (Database1.mdf), I get this error:
"Local database file
An error has occured 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified"
I have restarted my computer and this does not solve the problem. As I am not familiar with SQL (I am following the Tier 2 tutorials at MSDN), I didn't modify any options when installing program.
How do I fix this error?
Thank you

Problem Using SMS Express With VWD Express 2008.
Mar 28, 2008Hi guys,
Looking for some help please...
I have developed a Site using VWD express 2008 and within the site I added a Log-in control and this generated a Database for me called ASPNETDB.MDF, I used this DB with the site Admin feature (Again the auto generated pages!) to add some users so I could test the function of the control. All worked fine :-)
Then because I wanted to make some large additions to the DB I used SMS Express to attach to the DB and make the required changes (Add tables etc!). Once finished I detached from the DB in SMS and closed it down then re-opened VWDx and tried to view the DB but got the following error:
Unable to open the physical file
"C:*********App_DataASPNETDB.MDF". Operating
system error 5: "5(error not found)".
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file
C:************App_DataASPNETDB.MDF failed. A database
with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is
located on UNC share.
(Stars added by me to hide my folder structure etc!)
I am using a Vista machine with ISS installed to any help would be appreciated, as I have tried everything I can think of and no luck.
It's been 2 days now and I am now bald so please give me some good news.
Thanks.
SQL Express 2005 With VB Express 2008
Nov 30, 2007
Hi
I have installed VB Express 2008 and also SQL Express 2005, I am working my way through the online tutorials but when it deals with SQL databases I am getting confused as when I add an item i can see the options for local database or server-based database, on the tutorial is shows as sql database which is an option I do not have. I wanted to check is this was correct as SQL Express 2005 is installed on the machine. Am I missing a component, I installed SQL Express 2005 as part of the download through VB Express 2008,
Any help would be great.
Thanks
