SQL Server Express Edition Uninstall Nightmare
May 15, 2008
I have been trying to uninstall SQL Server 2005 Express Edition for a day and a half to no avail. I have cleaned it out of the registry, and I have done everything possible to get rid of this, er, Microsoft virus software. I have erased every folder that has any SQL Server name after I stopped all SQL server services in the task list. All I want to do is install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition so that I can use the BI Manager to create a DTS package. Does anyone have any utilities that might help?

While installing VS 2008, I chose the full install and it installed SQL Server 2005 Express edition. Since I do have a full version of SQL Server running on this machine, I would like to uninstall the Express edition. But I do not see the application listed in the Add/Remove Programs.
Thanks.

In PHP, connecting to a (MySQL) database is quite a simple matter. There are PHP functions for connecting, database user and password, database name, etc.
Is there something equally simple for Visual Web Developer Express? Hell, I can't even find a way to configure any aspects of my SQL Server Express Edition anywhere!
The Wrox Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition Starter Kit seemed promising, but it's useless too if I can't get the database to work at all. I cannot wait until my organization finally uses PHP so I can be rid of this M$ BS. Too bad I can't get my 102 hours and 48 minutes (so far) back.

I have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit installed but there is something from with the installation since every time that I try and create a Report Server Project It gives me error
Could not load file or assembly "Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer, Version 9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system cannopt find the file spesified.
How can I reinstall it or repair the installation so it will work. I have uninstalled every SQL2000 component in Add Remove Programs and reinstalled them. The problem is however that I cannot see an entry for "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit" in the Add Remove programs in Windows XP Profesional.
Can someone please help me. Maybe tell me where the uninstall file is located on disk??
Any help will be great
Manu Thanks

We are trying to install the Standard Edition of SQL Server 2005. We already have SQL Express installed. Standard won't install and Express won't uninstall.
We have tried every suggestion we can find and some we made up. When we try to install Standard, we get to the bit where you choose what you want to install and the only thing available is workstation components.
There are so many cases of this on the Internat that I can't believe MS have not solved the issue. And I am stunned that they want to charge us more money to talk to us about how to fix something we just paid them an arm and a leg for!
What do I need to tell you to get some idea of where to go next with this?

Hi,
I have installed a copy of the SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition a few months ago. Two weeks I tried to apply SP2 and I got an error, and I thought a clean install would solve the problem. So, I went ahead to do the uninstall but I am not able to get pass MsDtsSrvr.exe as shown in the log below,

This is getting extremely annoying. I cannot unistall another instance of SQL Server Express 2005.
I have had three different servers with the separate installs of SQL Server Express 2005. I remove the product (Backup Exec, Dell IT Assistant, Microsoft System Center 2007). I uninstall the third-party product and they leave behind SQL Server Express 2005. For what idiotic reason I do not know. Then I try and remove SQL Server Express 2005 and for the third straight time it fails.
Here's the latest failure error, "TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup
------------------------------
The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Setting Internal Properties. The error is: Fatal error during installation.
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.3042.00&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=1603&EvtType=sqlca%5csqlcax.cpp%40SetInstanceProperty%40SetInstanceProperty%40x534

Does anyone know how to actually remove SQL Server Express 2005? This is pathetic.

Hi.
I'm trying to perform a silent install/uninstall of SQL Server 2005 Express.
I manage to install silently, but when trying to uninstall with the following command line:
sqlexpr.exe /qb REMOVE=ALL INSTANCENAME=<INSTANCENAME>
there is one item left behind - "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client"
Does anyone know how to uninstall this as well?
Also, if MSXML 6.0 is already installed when installing SQL Server 2005 Express, when performing an uninstall with the above command line, MSXML 6.0 is also uninstalled, which may not be the desired outcome.

Hello All:
On my backup server running Symantec BackupExec 11D, I wanted to install Service Pack 2 for SQL Server 2005 Express. I started performing the update using "Windows Update", but cancelled the upgrade process just before it started to install (right after the downloading/verifying download phase of Windows update).
Now when I try to find the SP2 update using Windows Update, it doesnt show up on the update website. Rebooting the server doesnt help. I manually downloaded the file for SQL 2005 Express SP2 and tried installing it, but it says "the component is already installed" and I have to exit the process.
BackupExec 11D is running fine as of now, and it might not face problems later.. but I am not sure. Is there any way to uninstall SP2 and re-install it again!??
Any guidance/pointers is greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot in advance.

This 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. I have two other Express instances I'll call Instance AAA and Instance BBB. I want to uninstall Instance CCC without affecting the other two instances or the software that uses them. 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. In all cases, I'm talking about SQL Server Express. Full SQL Server is not installed.
The Instances are all installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard server.
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!

Hello..
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 know people have put up this question before but I wanted some updated feedback.
I just bought Visual Studio Tools for MS Office and it comes with SQL Developer Edition. I am currently using VS.net 2003 and using MSDE with MS SQL Web Data Administrator to build my dbs then export the sql script.
I was wondering if I should uninstall the MSDE and install the DEv Ed so I can develop all the triggers, constraints etc through Enterprise Manager, therefore having a better setup DB. I know you can do all that through code but why reinvent the wheel.
One last question, with the Dev Ed you just export the schema and scripts to a machine with SQL Server installed once the DB is ready for deployment ? Is this correct?
I lied one more question, does the uninstall of MSDE leave much of a mess, what is the best way to get rid of it.
Thanks in advance
Pete

I recently purchased a copy of Visual Studio 2005 Professional last month and it came with SQL Server Developer Edition. However, I noticed it also installs the express edition. If I choose not to install the Developer Edition (Im quite new to SQL) can I deploy a database I develop in the express edition on a regular SQL server?

I have:
A server computer running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.
A industrial computer running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
And now also a Psion WorkAboutPro with CE 5 that should run SQL Server Compact Edition.
The industrial computer syncs its data with the server, basically saying "this has happened".
Now I want the Psion to sync with the industrial computer, but this sync must two-way.
I have tried to find a guide or something that can tell me "do this to sync" but the information i have found is sketchy at best.
If someone could point me in the right direction of a guide or something else it would be much appreciated.

Hello,
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.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Albert

I mistakenly installed SQL express using remote desktop, now I cannot do anything in it. Nobody could help with that either but based on posts with the same message, I tried uninstalling sql server. It wouldn't uninstall nor can I repair or reinstall. Uninstalling thru Add or Remove Programs only resulted in the program listing being removed from Add or Remove Programs. Most of the sql server programs are still installed. They can be run but continue to malfunction. When I try a new installation, I get a message that the programs are already installed. How can I correct this without reinstalling Win XP? Please help. Your valuable feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am looking to using the express edition toolkit for its BI tools but noticed the that it doesn't support a Database engine.
If I am running SQL Express edition, & install the Express toolkit, will this remove the Database engine functionality of the Express edition? Will there be conflicts? Will they run as separate GUI's or is the toolkit added to the Express edition GUI?
Thank you very much for any suggestions anybody might have on this

Hello Win XP Pro, SP3 ,.Net 1.1,2.0,3.5, ASP.Net 2.0.
I made the mistake of trying to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services as a requirement to install dashCommerce. That was a big mistake. It never installed and it screwed up my current install of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
I have been trying for two days now to get my SQL Server 2005 Express Edition back to normal. I can't run and test my programs in VS2005 that use SQL anymore and it's keeping me from getting my work done.
I tried uninstalling everything SQL using Add Remove Programs. Deleted all temp, SQL and unneeded files. Ran defrag. Restarted my computer. I did all that three times and still am unable to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
On the existing components screen, i get the message "The following components that you chose to install are already installed on the machine. To view a report of available options and alternatives click on details."
It won't allow me to check any options and when i click next, it gives the error "None of the selected features can be installed or upgraded. Setup cannot proceed since no effective change is being made to the machine. To continue, click Back and then select features to install. To exit SQL Server Setup, click Cancel"
All i can do is cancel out of it.
Any help from anybody to figure out why i can't install SQL Express again would be gratefully appreciated.
This problem is keeping me from doing my work, it's frustrating. Is there a way to totally clean my machine of any SQL so i can get back to doing my job?
Thanks,
Tony
