Hi all,
I'm a part time Web Developer and have recently upgraded to Vista Ultimate. I used to run SQL Server 2000 on XP without a hitch. Obviously I have had to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 to get it to run on Vista, I see Microsoft provide the free SQL Server Express, I tried that but I could not get it to connect to any databases out on the internet. (is this correct?)
So I downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Evaluation, installed then ran the Service Pack over the top. Now my problem is that I dont seem to have any access to anything that looks like a Management console for me to connect to any datatbases.
In my Start/All Programs list I have Microsoft Server 2005 but it only has a shortcut to Configuration tools, nothing else!
Even in Express there was a shortcut to some sort of interface that allowed me to setup DB's etc, but I can't find it in this version.
I am used to using Enterprise Manager from 2000 could someone please advise me on what I need to run or if I have missed installing something or have downloaded the incorrect version or something!
I am trying to install SQL Server Express - (the non ADV version) and get the following error.
"An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'sqlncli_x64.msi'".
I have 64 bit Vista Ultimate running on an HP dv9000.
I am using the download from the bottom of the download page for SSX where it says 64 bit version.
Prior to this I got the. "64-bit ASP.net is registered. Required 32-bit ASP.NET to install Microsoft Reporting services 2005(32-bit)." messagd during the pre-install scan. From what I gather in the posts, the reporting issue is different from my installation package problem.
I have been trying to prove a point to friends about how far you can go with SSX but am having no luck installing it. This whole process took 1 hour in XP but I've been stymied for 2 days.
I would appreciate being pointed at the right downloads for what seems to be a simple install.
Hi all Pros I am transfering from windows2003 server and MS SQL 2000 to Windows Vista and SQL Express ...... Before I allways created a database manually and I could allways use as many databases I needed so in that way I could have several versions of a database for a certain software during development. Can you use separeted databasenames when developing in SQL Express? I am using a dotnetnuke installation file and inside the project there is a file /App_Data/Database.mdf should this file be renamed everytime I make a new testinstallation or setting up a separate dev environment /Johan

I am having problems installing the SQL Server Compact Server Tools on my Vista laptop to allow me to connect my Mobile Device running SQL Server Compact directly to my SQL Server 2005 database through IIS.
I have done this successfully with an XP machine so I'm not sure if it is Vista problem or not.
I have installed SQL Server 2005 SP2. When I try to install the replication server tools (Sqlce30setupen.msi), in "System Configuration Check" window I get a failure on "SQL Server requirement" that says: "You must first install the Replication Components for SQL Server 2000 SP 3a or higher or the SQL Server 2005 Replication Components" and the client components are full instaled in my computer.
Can't connect to local server instance MSSQLSERVER in SQL Server Management Studio (SQL2005 sp2/Vista).
SQL Server Configuration Manager reports SQL Server2005 services: SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) Running. This would indicate the name of the SQL server is "MSSQLSERVER" correct? I chose "default" instance during the install and that is the name it gave itself.
I tried connecting to the server using the following for the Server Name: MSSQLSERVER and .MSSQLSERVER neither works.
The only thing that works for my installation is just plain "." (no quotes) and nothing else. Can this be correct because I can't find any reference to this. Thanks.
Hello, I am trying to install SQL Server Enterprise 2005 on Windows Vista Enterprise. The installation has finished "successfully", but when I am trying to open the MS SQL manager, I see that the manager has not installed.
I have 2 networked PC's both running vista ultimate
1st is Laptop and is running its own SQL Server at laptoplaptopSQL 2nd is Desktop and is running its own SQL Server at desktopdesktopSQL
Now both machines have seperate windows login accounts.
When I go SQL Server management studio I go to browse and each machine can see the other machines SQL Server, but when I go to login I get SQL Login falied for users" The user is not associaed with a trusted SQL server connection".
So I then go to logins new login and try to add my other pc's user account. The problem I see is that when I go to search and then location it only shows its own PC's location and not the location of my other networked pc? So if I am on Desktop and in my theory want to add laptopuser to the desktop SQL Server logins I get:
"create failed for login laptopuser
An exception occurred while executing Transact SQL statement laptopuser is not a valid windows NT name. give the complete name
I have visual studio 2008 sql express, vista ultimate is on my computer however I have not installed sql express on my computer I wish to install sql standard 2005 sp1 I have read microsoft's article 934164 before installing sql standard I have a couple of questions installing sql server standard edition see sql-articles.com -installing sql 2005
sql instances screen- can I choose default installation? sql services screen do I need to choose domain name(I am a small business, I do not own a server, I wish to use a third party to use sql reporting services . I have not registered my domain name
Windows authentication- I wish to use mixed mode. I wish to configure user account later by stopping sql services and then installing sql sp2 (after windows authentication screen) described in microsoft article 934164 do I need to configure the server?(next screen after windows authentication) I want to avoid a system reboot...... Is there anyway that I can make sure all the parts are installed on sql server and sql sp2? Is it adviseable to configure my administrative account at the end of sql sp2? How do this work? I just want to be prepared...... Thank you
We are currently having a problem with a client running Vista business for a mobile application that uses SQLCE RDA with the Web Synchronization on IIS7.
I have run through the Configure Web Synchronization Wizard and it doesn't create a virtual directory. I manually create the virtual dir and point it to the new folder the Configure Web Synchronization Wizard created.
Browsing to the url "http://localhost/sqlce/sqlcesa30.dll" gives a valid test string.

When a Windows Mobile or Pocket PC device tries to do a ServerExecute or Push or Pull it gets this error message with SQLNCLI ...

NativeError = 29022
numericErrorParameters = {9,0,0}
Source = "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition"
A very similar error.
From this it seems that both SQLCE 2 and 3 seem to want MDAC 2.8+ drivers. The drivers installed with Vista for SQL Native client seem to be versioned 6.0.* and the required versioning would seem to need to be in line with MDAC 2.8.
Are there installable drivers to bump the versioning of SQLNCLI or SQLOLEDB upto MDAC 2.8+ levels?
Or is there an alternative that will make it possible to run SQLCE RDA apps with Vista as the SQLCE server (i.e. sqlcesa30.dll)?
I want to install Sql server 2005 or Express on my Machine.I have Vista Ultimate 64 Bit operating System. Does Sql Server 2005 or Express will work with my vista!?I hear, people using Vista and sql express, and 2005. But I still don't know if its going to work. Does Sql Server supports 64 bit Operating Systems!? Or I still need to use some ServicePack From Sql Team. Any Ideas!? Thanks Antony.
I am trying to install SQL server 2000 on my laptop which has vista as OS. I am not able to install it , somehow it fails. Can anyone please suggest me how can i accomplish this.
I am new to SQL server 2005 and Windows Vista. I installed SQL server 2005 and SQL Server 2005 SP2. It seems that I get a "cannot connect to server" problem. I see the "Connect to server" popup window when hit the "Connect Object explorer" under the file menu or "Connect database Engine" under the Object explorer pane. Trying to see a Server name I recognized there was nothing there. Tried "browse for more" but It seems that no servers can be found at all.
I logged into Windows Vista with my account (with administrator rights, but not the Main Administrator account itself). I also tried SQL Server 2005 User Provisioning Tool for Vista, but it cannot find no instances in the "Available Privilegies" window.
I read a lot on forums on the net, but what is the best solution to use for this situation? Maybe I shall log on with the Main Admin Account and install again? Or is there better ways? Please can someone give me the best practices for this topic?
I m a beginner to sql server 2000 or 2005 .i want to install sql server on my PC (windows vista).can you please tell me how to download and install the sql server.i want to practise some procedures and sql statements.can you please guide me what should i download (server and client).
Hello everyone and thanks in advance for any help. After converting to Vista Ultimate I confess I haven't been able to get sql running right period. The sp just released doesn't update the actual msqlserver file. Any help would be appreciated. I also have VS 2005 installed. I would like this to work as I am learning VB and lots of new stuff about web design. Again, thanks in advance for any help...
I am having real problems connecting to SQL Server (Express) 2005 when running Visual Studio 2005. I keep getting the following error: (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified). I have checked through serveral forums and have done the following to no avail.
SQLBrowser server is running. In Surface area config, remote & Local connections are enabled for TCPIP/and named pipes. To rule out firewall issues I turned off my firewall (Norton 360) and windows defender - I checked that the windows firewall was off too. Both VS05 and SQL Server Management studio are both run using admin priviledges. Visual Studio and SQL Server are on the same laptop. I can connect to SQL Server Express via VS05 Server Explorer, I only get this error while running my ASP.Net program. My connection string is as follows: <add key="Main.OracleConnectionString" value="data source=FENASD;user id=fenas;password=xxxx;persist security info=false;"/> I have used to logon details to confirm that I can log into the DB using the Management Studio. Any ideas for what else I can try??
I have an opportunity to install Vista on my machine and I'm wondering which version I should install if I plan on doing development on SQL Server 2005 and VS 2005.
Should I install Vista x64 or x86? Is there a significant performance increase when running x64 (I have an Intel E6400 and 2 GB RAM).
I have a problem that unble to connect the SQL Server2005 on Vista OS. After searching solution around but still not able to find the solution for me problem. The Error was Error 26, provider:SQL network interfaces, error:26 - error locating server/instance specified
Is any1 facing the problem on this? Any solution for this case?
I am having issues with adding a new database in vwd 2008 as i keep getting the 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.� I have tried most of the tips on the net already including changing SQLEXPRESS Built-in account to Local System instead of Network Service, running as a administrator and going into surface area to add new admin and adding priveledges to my account. None of these have helped. I can create a database in the management studio but can't create it in vwd and also the asp.net applications doesn't run either. can anyone help as i have no idea what to do.
I am unable to make SQL Server 2005 work under Vista. As soon as I try to register a server I get a message saying error 40. It does not seem as straightforward as SQL 2000. Under Registered servers I can see a green arrow and a local instance called paul-pc.... I have no idea what credentials to put into the login properties. I am from an Access background so this is new to me. I would appreciate it if someone can talk me through the process
I just bought a new HP laptop that has Vista installed. Not happy about the OS but it is what it is...
I need to use Enterprise Manager, or an equivalent, to access a remote server, running SQL 2005.
With XP, I always installed and used SQL Server 2000 Client features.
Vista does not play well with SQL 2000 so I am looking for an alternative to simply be able to access, and perform DTS functions, a remote SQL 2005 system.
Does SQL Server 2005 Express offer client alias features?
Plz help me out in the problem mentioned below....

I have (2) questions about SQL versions and (1) question about "Standard Log Sizing" for SharePoint directory. I am pretty sure about SQL 2000 versions "Not being Certified".
1) Which versions of MS SQL Server 2000 and 2005 are certified to run on Vista?
2) Which versions of MS SQL Server 2000 and 2005 are certified to run on Internet Explorer 7 (IE7)?
3) What should the "Standard Log Sizing" be for MS SharePoint Server drive be? Or is there an actual standard?
I'm about to purchase a new development laptop and want to ensure I won't have any issues installing SQL Server 2005 on Windows Vista.
I can see from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx that it is possible but states that SQL Server 2005 SP2 must be installed.
My install CD is for SQL Server Developer Edition without SP1 or SP2. Will I be able to install off this and then install SP2 afterwards or will I encounter problems because I need SP2 present on the install media?
My office computer just had Vista installed on it and while going back through to re-install my software, I have encountered a problem in SQL Server 8.0. (Yes, I know it's old and likely has comparability issues with Vista, but I don't have the option to upgrade at this point.) I have two servers to register. One works fine, but the other won't register and returns the error "SQL Server does not exist or access denied. ConnectionOpen (Connect())". I am able to register these on machines running XP and Windows Server 2003, but not on my Vista machine. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
I have two computers each with SQL Server Developer edition on them. Each is set up identically with remote connections enabled. Once machine is running Vista Business the other is running XP Pro SP2. From the Vista machine I can connect to the instance on the XP machine but I cannot connect to the Vista instance through the XP machine. I keep getting the error that indicates SQL Server isn€™t set up for remote connections even though it is. There is obviously some access problem that is due to Vista but I have no idea what it might be.
Thanks for any help you might provide.
Dane R. Vinson PS I wasn't totally sure of the correct forum to post this but it seems like it might be a setup issue.
I've just done a clean install of Vista Ultimate (release). SQL Server 2005 will only install the client tools - it refuses to install any of the server components (including the default instance).
I get the "SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility (Warning). " I installed the missing IIS 7.0 which got rid of the IIS warning message.

When I try to start SQL Server it times out. SQL Server Express is running ok. Can you help me get this started? Thank you, Lucy
I have a VB project in VS 2005 Express that uses SQL 2005. I use Click Once to deploy the project. The s/w installs and installs the SQL 2005 prerequisit on XP and Vista machines without problem.
Problem: As soon as the apps tries to use SQL 2005 on a Vista machine it says sqlservr.exe has stopped working and has to close. XP machines work like a dream.
Any ideas please? Any help would be welcomed.

I need to install SQL Server 2005 (for reporting services mainly) on Vista, but i have issues.
I have installed IIS and its checked in the pre-installation checklist, and the only thing with an exclamation point is the OS which is to be expected.
The issue im having is that when i get to the screen to select the features/components i want to install, they are all disabled apart from "Workstation components, Books online etc..."
Where am i going wrong with this.. I know i need the services pack to install reporting services, but i cant install anything at this point.
I'm loading the dev version of sql 2005 on vista ultmate. I'm not seeing the manager tools. I've installed sp2. In the services it says sql express but not sql server. I read the requirments for the dev version and it didn't list vista. Any ideas?
