I have SQL Server 2000 installed on my laptop and am trying to install an instance of MSDE. I keep getting the error message: "The installation of SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine has failed. Please see the Getting Started manual for further instructions."
I have done this installation before on other machines. Something must be corrupt on my machine (?). The error message is not very enlightening. Any ideas?
During installation of MSDE the installation hangs at "please wait while Windows configures microsoft sql server desktop engine" I always end up killing the installation process. I am trying to install Windows XPe dev kit and this is the step I am getting stuck on. If I try to skip this step and setup the database the setup obviously tells me that i dont have sql 200 or MSDE installed.
The KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811479 describes the syptoms perfectly, but fast user switching isnt even enabled for this machine and is not the source of the problem.
My objective is to use Enterprise Manager to move (copy) my SQL db from the server to my windows desktop computer.
I downloaded MSDE and am having trouble installing it, no doubt because I do not understand the documentaion (ReadMeMSDE2000A.htm).
When I try to run setup, I get that message that says:
"A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same."
Considering my purpose, do I need a "strong" SA password? If not, how do I get around it? If yes, how do I set it up?
I am a Mac user so I have poor windows skills, please make it as painless as possible for me, thanks!

I have a few questions about the SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE), sorry there are so many ..
1. Which software products does this come with ?
2. If I create a SQL Server Database and want to distribute it to clients, how do I actually do it with MDSE ?
3. If I need to "upgrade" my database at some point in the future (that may contain data at a client site) how would I go about getting all the data out - would I need to write an external app ?
4. What are it's pros and cons when compared to installing full SQL Server on a client site ?
5. I've heard that the preformance of an MSDE Database degrades severely after more than 5 concurrent connections, is this just due to the performance of the product or is it something to do with the licencing model ?
6. Is it possible to write applications in, say VB, to alter the database once it has been installed on client site e.g. modify/create tables, indexes, stored procedures ?
Thanks for any help in advance ..

Can someone advise me if this is basically SQL server 2000 and will work effectively to simulate sql server on a stand alone development machine ? Is this what its meant for?
I'm just not clear on this, here is the link:

Trying to install Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine on my laptop. I downloaded the software and opened it to a folder on the C drive. Then from the command prompt I entered this:
C:msderela>setup sapwd = hillary instancename=mjh targetdir=c:mike
The program starts to install and seems to get near to the end of instal and then the progress bar starts going backwards and nothing gets installed....any ideas of what I'm doing wrong....I really don't know anything about this at all.

I'm in the process of attempting to install Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine on my computer in support of an email program call Mailloop6. I've tried going through their tech support but they haven't been able to figure it out.
I'm running Windows XP with SP1 upgrade on a DSL connection.
When I installed the program the first time, I got the following error:
"Setup failed to configure the server. Refer to the server error logs and
setup error logs for more information."
The program obviously wouldn't install. I contacted the vendor and they sent a version with a batch file. Same result. I removed all the appropriate registry entries between installs and removed all the data files as well.
I've tried installing the program using the free MDSE download from the MS site with the following result:
"A Strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same. Refer to readme for more details. Setup will now exit."
Here's the error log that I got after attempting to install:

conString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=True;Initial Catalog=" & dbName & ";Network Address=" & IPAddress & ";Data Source=" & DataSource & " ;User ID=" & UserId & " ; Password=" & Password
Plz also inform me about the restriction imposed in connectivity by any of the window operating system such as that win 98 wont work or work!
There is no firewall involved. The two computers are in the same room and connected directly to the internet.
Even the ping is not going to either computer.

I have got SQL Server Desktop Engine running with 2 database and I need
to install the evaluation version of SQL Server 2005 instead. A
straight upgrade does not seem to be possible. Does someone know if
backing up the databases, uninstalling the desktop engine, installing
SQL Server 2005 and then importing/restoring the databases would be an
option to look into?

I was looking at the registry key value "ConcurrentLimit" in
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server80MSSQLLicenseInfoMSSQL8.00"
and wondering if this the concurrency control of SQL Server. Can someone please verify??
One of our SQL Production Server I inherited was installed with this version by mistake. The value for this key was set to 2. Does this mean it only allows 2 concurrent access to the SQL Server??
Thanks...byyu :)
Dear all,
This week I was told to setup MSDE Desktop Engine on my pc bcz my Access back end db is getting bigger in size. And as a little advance step, I decided to put my Access back end on SQL server.
To be frank, I have no experience with SQL server but after reading the instructions, I have installed MSDE (latest version) on my pc successfully. A small icon of SQL server appeared nearby clock icon of my pc showing the SQL server is running on ASHFAQUEPC.
I shifted a Trial db onto this server in following way.
Considering the opened Trial db would be my BE, from the Tools---Database Utility---Upsize wizard, I followed below steps according to Upsize wizard.
1.I selected ‘Local’ server and check marked to ’Use Trusted Connection’.
2.And then I selected some tables to export
3.Kept all default attributes of db as it is
4.Selected ‘Let the wizard decide’ under data option to include.
5.At the next step ‘What application change do you want to make?
a.Create a new Access client/Server application.
b.Link SQL Server tables to existing application.
c.No application changes. (I selected this option)
Then it showed me the report of my db description of changes that were made after deploying it. The report I did not print bcz it was a trial db with one table (2 fields) and a simple query.
My idea was to connect my Trial BE with another one of another Access mdb file so FE would be Access and BE would be from MSDE.
1.Now I don’t know how to link my BE to my FE?
2.From where I can directly see my BE? Because SQL Server Service Manager does
not have any menu?
3.Where I was wrong in following steps?
Guidance in this regards is highly appreciated.
With kind regards,
Ashfaque

Has anyone had trouble accessing SQL 2000 desktop install over the LAN on SBS 2003?
I cannot access my installation from the same domain, yet when I install it on a machine running something other than SBS 2003 there are no problems.
Everything seems shared correctly, and I have tried loggin on to the remote machine as Administrator with no success.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
My coworker tried install SQL server 2005 on a server. The server already has a desktop engine running as "MSSQLServer". Because the new sql server 2005 need running as a default instance. So he still using "MSSQLServer" as the instance name.
After installation, the service's running file seems still point to the old location. When view the properties on Management studio, it still report as "desk top engine" and the version is 8.xx..xxxx.
My question is,
1. What has been done during the installation? Is current desktop engine was upgraded?
2. In current situation, what can we do to install the SQL server 2005 as a default instance. Is there way to rename the desktop engine to a named instance?
Thanks

Dear all,
I have developed a C# desktop application which uses SQL express as its database. It works just fine as I installed the application, used SQL express Server Management Studio CTP to create database with tables , stored procedures etc.
Now, I want to create an installer that will not only install my application to other machines but also create the database with all the tables and stored procedures with it.
How do I do so? I searched the answer in several places but none worked out for me. Can anyone please help me on this??
For your convenience I'm giving the following informations:
Database name: NorthPoleSQL sever Name: IshtiaqueSqlexpress (used Windows Authentication Mode)
I have detached the database from the original machine and have the NorthPole.mdf and NorthPole_Log.ldf files. I want to use these files and create the database in target machine rather than writing sql scrips and executing them.
Please help me with a descriptive, step by step instruction as I am new to this technology.
Thank you.

Hi there,I sincerely hope that someone out there can help. I have twoinstances of the SQL 2000 Desktop Engine running. One is on my localmachine for development and the other is on another machine on ournetwork which is the production environment. I have built an Access2003 front end application which connects to this database. Thisworks fine locally, as you would expect. I successfully installed thedatabase on the production machine and am able to connect to it viaAccess 2003 (using the Data Link Properties window) and from thirdparty database manager software (similar to Enterprise Manager). I amnot able to to connect to the database via my application.I am using the "sa" account with a strong password. This is myconnection string:strConnection = "Provider=sqloledb;DataSource=server02;UserId=sa;Password=strong;Initial Catalog=Test"The error I'm getting is:"Connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is eitherclosed or invalid in this context."The connection string is the only thing that changes in my code when Iswitch from my local to my production database. Is there some reasonthat I can't use the "sa" account in this fashion that I'm not awareof? I'd rather not use integrated security for simplicity's sake asthis is a small, internal application. Also, I would have thoughtthat if that was the issue, I couldn't use "sa" at all, even locally.I'm going to post to the Access group as well but thought someone heremight have some advice to offer as well.Thanks,Barb
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi Everyone,Apparently, I was being asked on a question, "Why don't we procure adesktop PC to run MS SQL Server 2000 rather than a buying a server?".From a Management point-of-view, buying a desktop PC is much cheaperthan a server. However, I just wanted to understand that is it aviable solution given the database size is something around 200 GB?Equipping with more memory, more storage and a more powerful CPU on adesktop PC could really taking up the role to support the DBMS?Besides this "sensitive" costing concerns, what will be othersdifference in running the SQL Server 2000 on the two differenthardware architecture? For example, IO rate, reliability, RAID-1support, performance, … etc.(Note: The operating system is Microsoft Windows 2000 EnterpriseEdition)Regards,Ambrose
View 1 Replies View RelatedSP2 refuses to install for the Database Engine because €œthe previous upgrade did not complete€?, i.e. it detects a suspended installation. The same thing happened to me when I installed SP1. I then remember opening the maintenance dialog and completing the setup, after which SP1 installed just fine.
When I try to do the same thing this time, I€™m presented with the €?complete the suspended installation€? option, which when I run it reports the installation completed successfully. However, in reality the installation still remains in suspended mode for whatever reason. If I reboot and open the maintenance dialog, I€™m still presented with the €?complete the suspended installation€? option. I€™ve even tried to run it more than once, but it doesn€™t help. Needless to say, SP2 still refuses to install.
I don't know why the installation is in a suspended state. I know every part of SP1 installed successfully in the end, and the computer never crashed during the installation. I've been using it every day since then, without any problems. All other parts of SP2 did install successfully.
I created a feedback entry on Microsoft Connect, where you can find the log files created by Windows Installer. The URL is:
