I installed SQL Server Express on my local pc using the default settings. I also have SQL Server 2005 installed on the same machine. With the SQL Browser service running, I am unable to connect to the SQL Server Express database.
I receive error: Cannot connect to MyComputerNameSQLEXPRESS.
Additional information: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to the 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) (Microsoft SQL Server)
Any ideas why I'd be receiving an error about remote connections when the connection I'm trying to make is local? - Incidentally, I have configured the SQL 2005 Server to have TCP enabled, Named Pipes enabled, and Shared enabled.
If anyone knows how to solve this issue, please also respond to: bbarry@yahoo.com
I downloaded Web Matrix. Very nice. My VB experience makes this very intuitive. But I see in order to do dB development, I also need to download MS SQL, which is labeled MSDE in as step 3 in the Web Matrix download operation. As I follow the link forward I see that there are three distinct components:
Sql2kasp3.exe Sql2kdesksp3.exe Sql2ksp3.exe
Are all three of these required?
Also I see there is a beta version of the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/sql/ here. Would this be a viable alternative.
I am continually prompted to download & install this SP by the windows update utility but it always fails to install it. I have XP SP2. No error msg is provided. I do not have ACT! installed. I do have Oracle 10g Expr. Ed installed. Competitive jealousy?
I found this online:
Important notes about the cumulative hotfix package €˘ You must enable the SQL Server Management Object (SMO) extended stored procedures and the SQL Server Distributed Management Object (SQL-DMO) extended stored procedures before you install the cumulative hotfix package.
Where does one enable SMO & SQL-DMO?
I looked in the summary log file in the Hotfix directory and it says that the problem is that SQL Express cant be started. See below.
I went into the SQL Configuration Mgr and tried to start it and it fails to start. No reason given. Now what?

When updating automaticallly, this update always fail, I have put the configuration manager /server browser : the only one that was disabled, on manual (I have not the automatic option for this one) but nothing works, what can I do ? This is a new laptop I have got (XP pro) and I am going through the process of updating many things, only this one fails, any help appreciated.
From the Windows update site and also via automatic download of updates, the following update fails every time...The SQL it is trying to update works fine. The following updates were not installed: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services Service Pack 2 (KB 921896)
I've been trying to install the following update: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 2 (KB 921896). I always recieve the following error: 2B22,
Will Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 1 work with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services or is there going to be another version of Service Pack 1?
We had a disaster last week (SAN Corruption) and it hit a bunch of my sql serves. I have been able to recover all but one. The one I am having a problem with is a NAMED Instance that I obviously don't know the original SP level on. When I try to restore MSDB it won't let me because of a version conflict Is there any way to tell what the SP Level is either from a system DB .mdf or LDF file or from a backup file without restoreing? Right now I'm installing SQL Server to a test server and I'm going to try and restore the system dbs at each patch level.. seems like there must be a better way!!
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!??
We deploy an application that uses SQL Server Express 2005. One of our test engineers tried to use our setup on Windows XP SP 3. But the SQL server installer gave an error - unable to update msxml6r.dll. Is this a bug of the SQL Server installer or do we need to make use of a more recent version of msxml6?
Please do not tell me to go to the MS site coz I did not see any helpful step by step how to install this service pack to my SQL Personal Edition. So please anyone, SQL Guru, post here how to install the SP3 for PERSONAL EDITION - not the DESKTOP Engine. Thank you so much...
SQL Express 2005, MUST work on windows XP Service pack 1, it should not need XP SP 2. Also it should not require windows server 2003 SP1. This is seriously limiting our possibilities as a development company, this is ruining business, ANYONE READING THIS MESSAGE WHO CARES ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND THAT INCLUDES ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DISTIBUTE SQL EXPRESS, SHOULD ADD THEIR SUPPORT BELOW, COME ON GUYS, PLEASE LET M.S. KNOW HOW WE FEEL ON THIS ISSUE....
I have been receiving the update notice from MS about SQL 2005 Express Service Pack 2. I download it and install. It states successful installs but I get another message requesting the same update. It is Ground Hogs day and Deja Vu all over again.
Question:
Where do I find out if it actually installed?
How do I stop getting the messages from MS to download and install SQL 2005 Express Service Pack 2? I shut the the automatic update but if I turn it on a few days later. I get the same message.
Hi there. I am new to the SQL Express. I just finished installing the SQL Express 2005 with Advanced Services on a Windows XP SP2 computer. The first thing I noticed was the service manager (used to be on the taskbar) was being removed on the Express Edition. How do I get this feature back if it's even possible? I know you can find out the server status from the Configuration Manager but it's handy if the status is showned on the taskbar after logging in.
In the last step of installing the SQL Server 2005 Express edition I get the following error:

I'm trying to figure out if I can use express edition for service broker. Documentation says it can be used as Subscriber only -- but what does that mean? Can it only be a target for service broker messages? Or can it send messages as well as long as the other end of the conversation is a licensed server?

Any help will be appreciated. Please email me directly. Thanks in advance.
Can someone help me out to uninstall service pack 5a on SQL server 6.5? We have few problems with this new service pack. Stored procedures could not delete temporary tables created in them. Can I load the backup databases from this service pack(5a) to service pack 4 servers?
