I am building an installer. Based on the version I need to code my install script.
Thanks in advance,
I am about to work on a SQL server 2005 migration and I have no clue what SQL server 2005 is as I have been working on 2K all along.
Fist of all I am not sure if the given box is having 64bit or 32 bit Operationg System?
Second of all I am trying to find if the SQL server 2005 installed on this box is 32bit or 64bit?
Thanks in advance,

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi Friends,
I have a question. At my home computer i downloaded and installed VWD. As usual it also installed Sqlexpress as part of the installation(i checked the option). Later on i downloaded Management studio separately so i am fine with my home computer as every thing is free.
But at work we decided to develop application using VS 2005 and Sqlserver 2005. So we bought and installed VS2005 professional edition at work and it also installed Sqlexpress during the installation as a defualt desktop engine. I am fine with that too. But i am not understing where do i get the Management studio? Is it some thing i could get it off the web for free or what? I am not sure we would have an option while installing the VS 2005 professional that also does install management studio and we need to check that option. I am not sure if we could get the management studion off the web for free and and evelop applications.
Please advise. Thanks -L
Hi,
I can't seem to find which SQL Server Compact Edition version is pre-installed on the Windows Mobile 6 rom.
I guess it is 3.0, but I'm not sure about it.
Another question is, if I use SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 by deploying the .dll files as part of my application's CAB installer, will this be a problem for Windows Mobile 5 or Windows Mobile 6?
Thank you in advance,

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I've installed the MS SQL Server 2005, and when I click on Start->Programs-> MS SQL Server 2005->Configuration Tools, there are 3 options given:
1.SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting
2.SQL Server Configuration Manager
3.SQL Server Surface Area Configuration
My objective is to have a database where I can play and refresh my skills in T-SQL. I would want to create or view tables and data. I've already downloaded CodePlex's sample database and installed it, but it is not showing. How can I configure these server to show tables and stuff?
I'm not a DBA but a programmer, and don't have the luxury of going through tons of documentation for this thing to get going. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hello;
I am trying to get information of SQL Server licensed key which is installed on our servers. I am using SQL Server 2005 standard edition. Is there a way to find out the product key which is installed on servers. I did some searches and found some thirdparty software to get that information but I don't want to use them on production, is there a way which microsoft recommends.
Thanks
I'm using SQL Server Express on Vista. I can't remember whether or not I installed the service packs for SSEE. Is there a quick and easy way to find out?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've just installed Visual Web Developer Express and SQL Server 2005. I'm running thru the painfully slow video tutorials from Microsoft (see here).

I'm totally new to this, but this still makes no sense.
My company wants to combine our SQL2000 and SQL2005 severs onto one server. If I install SQL2000 and 2005 on one server and migrate the data bases will I have any performance issues? Is there any issues or conflicts known by putting them both on the same server?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of installing SQL 2005 on a new server that is also going to have MS CRM 3.0 installed
CRM needs the .net 1.1 which has you run "cscript %SystemDrive%inetpubAdminScriptsadsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1"
I installed .net 1.1 32-Bit and 2.0 64-Bit on the server. Then cscript %SystemDrive%inetpubAdminScriptsadsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1
During the initial stages of the SQL install I receive the foloowing warning:
- ASP.Net Version Registration Requirement (Warning)
Messages
ASP.Net Version Registration Requirement
32-bit ASP.Net is Registered. Required 64-bit ASP.Net to install Microsoft Reporting Services 2005(64-bit).
Do I need to run cscript %SystemDrive%inetpubAdminScriptsadsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 0 before the install of SQL and then cscript %SystemDrive%inetpubAdminScriptsadsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1 after?
Or do I need to install SQL 2005 64-bit without reporting services and then install SQL 2005 32-bit reporting services on the same server?
I need to be able to programmatically detect whether or not SQL Server 2005, anything from Express on up to the full package with all the bells and whistles, is installed on the computer regardless of which service pack (if any) is installed. I found a forum article that provides a Registry setting that I could look at, but in the reply to the original post, it recommends using WMI instead of Registry keys. Also, I don't know whether or not the Registry key given for SQL Server 2005 would be present for even the minimal package. (Our requirements are for at least the Express package, and I understand that there's an even more basic package than that.) I'm maintaining a couple of installers that use 5-year old InstallShield technology (and Visual Studio 6 for any C/C++ code that I have to create) that have to check whether or not SQL Server 2005 Express (or a fuller package) is installed. I have done no SQL Server programming, so I've never even heard of WMI. Also, because these are installers, they have to work out of the box with no requirements to install anything beforehand to allow the installer to work. (We are working on an MSI-based installer with a bootstrap executable (the latter built using Visual Studio 2005) that will replace the older installers in the next version of our software, but we still need to support the older installers for now. Therefore, an out of the box solution that works with the older technology that we are still using for the older software is imperative. As the older software supports Win2k, the SQL Server detection solution must do so, too.)

Thanks in advance.
We are needing to script to find out if our servers have a full version of SQL Server installed or if it is just SQL Express that is used by one of our backup software vendors. How can we do this? Currently, we are having to go into each server and look at the SQL console. Anything that someone can suggest would be greatly appreciated as we have hundreds of servers to go through.
Thanks much in advance.

I am installing Sql Server 2005 on top of WindowsSBS 2003 and VS 2005. After I finish installing it I cannot see where the enterprise manager is. Basically I only get Microsoft Sql Server COnfiguration tools. Am I doing something wrong or this is the way it is suppose to be? I had installed all the features from SQL Server 2005.
I appreciate any help!
I created a mdf file but couldnt for the life of me install it into SQL Sever Express [and when I say install i mean attach]. When I used SQL Server Ent, I had no issues. The only warning I got was that my mdf file was used by another process when I tried to attach with VS 2005 [ which is correct because ent had it]. I think mdf files are pretty touchy. Does anyone have any good articles on best practices? It seems you cant have a db with the same name as your attachment [ which would make sense] or have mdf files in the Data directory of your SQL Server instance you are trying to attach to. You will get the unc share error if you do. I think I need to start using user Instances but I could be wrong. You cant use them in ent but maybe i will solve my issue with attaching db files to express. I noticed that by default express doesnt install in mix auth mode and there might be some issues with access. How does everyone else normally install their mdf files for quick deployment [ say you want to deploy your db with your app so that users can quickly get started] ?

I'm planning an SQL 2005 deployment and would like to know if an SQL server should be kept as dedicated as possible. Should apps that access SQL be kept on other servers? What are the do's and don't's along these lines? The plan here is to install everything that accesses SQL on the same server with the database, but this seems like a bad move to me. Am I right?
Thanks!

When I ran @@version I get this:

I assume this is a licensed version because the std edition does not have a trial license? Can someone confirm this?
If this were a trial version, what could I expect to see?
When trying to install SQL 2005, the installation halts at "Detecting Installed IIS". From a previous forum discussion I tried disabling Norton Anti-Virus and Firewall, but the install still does not get past this point.

Is it possible to connect to MDF file without having SQL Server 2005 Express installed on the machine?
That is-- can one connect directly to an MDF in the same way and Access MDB file can be used?
If no, then is there any way around this?
If yes, then are there any limitations?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi All!
In my computer I have Installed MS SQL Server 2005(Default Instance) & MS SQL Server 2000(Duynnh Instance). When I write an ASP.NET app to connect to SQL Server 2005 it's OK but not connect in SQL Server 2000. Please give me the SQL Connection string to connect to SQL Server 2000.
When I open Query analyzer connection is OK for both.
Thanks.

Suppose I check "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition" as one of the prerequisites for a custom app in a Windows Setup project.
From reading whatever docs I could get my hands on, it's still not clear to me how to control the installation of SQL Server Express with respect to things like instance name, service account, etc, etc.
In other words, this is stuff that's normally the domain of template.ini. However, there's no clear indication of where I should put template.ini so that the install of "prerequisite" SQL Server Express will see it and configure accordingly...
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help solve this...

My understanding is that at installation of all but the Express edition, there is no choice but to have VS2005 installed as well. If this is true, can VS 2005 at least be uninstalled after a different debugger is enlisted?
View 7 Replies View RelatedHello,
I started out with SQLExpress and that installed just fine. After going through some books about SQL, I found out the limitations to SQLExpress and realized that I would need the full version if I was to further my education on this. (analysis services, integration services, etc etc.)
I uninstalled SQLExpress and downloaded and installed SQL Server 2005 (Enterprise Edition I believe).
I have installed SQL Server 2005 and I went to go connect. It says it requires a Server Name. So I put the local name of the computer in there and came back with an Error 40. During the troubleshooting of what is causing this error I discovered there are no Services installed from SQL Server 2005. They were removed when I removed SQLExpress and not reinstalled when I installed SQL Server 2005.
I checked in both the Services Icon in Administrative Tools and in the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
This would account for my not being able to connect to a local server.
How do I bring them back. I have uninstalled and reinstalled SQL Server 2005 3 times now. It doesn't bring them back.
Now, apparently Enterprise edition does not run on Windows XP Pro SP2. Is there anyway around this? I heard something about a manual installation from the CD but I didn't understand what he was attempting to say.
