I cannot install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition on Windows Vista (Build 6000). I am logged on as the administrator. I tried to setup SP1 version, but it didn't work. Neither did after applying SP2 version.
What can be the reason? On the Problem Reports and Solutions panel it tells me to update to SP2. But it doesnt work.
I just upgraded from Windows XP Pro to Windows Vista Bussiness and tried to reinstall SQL Server 2005 Developers Edition. After the installation i downloaded (using microsoft windows update) and installed all the service packs for sql and vista available.
My problem is when i open sql server management studio and try to connect to my default instance using windows authentication and database engine, an 18456 error occurs.
I enabled all the protocols and all the ports I disabled windows firewall and antivirus (eset nod32) I installed all service packs available I have also installed Visual Studio 2005 without installing sqlexpress
But nothing happens!
Please i am very desperate, any information will be gratefully accepted.
This is my installation Information

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.3042.00 Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 2005.090.3042.00 Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.0.6001.18000 (longhorn_rtm.080118-1840) Microsoft MSXML 3.0 5.0 6.0 Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.6001.18000 Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.1434 Operating System 6.0.6001
I was finally able to get my hands of Vista so I excitely upgraded my PC to it yesterday.
After the installation goes smoothly and I ran the setup files from my SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition and I found that the setup script cannot detect IIS (perhaps it is due to the fact that Front Page extension is no longer part of IIS 7.0?) - So I faced with the problem of not able to setup Reporting Service on my PC....
Does anybody faced the same problem and how to fix this issue?
I just installed SQL Server 2005 on Windows Vista Basic platform with just windows authentication, installation went pretty well, but when I tried to logon to the server, it gave me error "Logon failed with error code 18456".
I logged on as administrator, service for SQL server is started, but I can't logon. Can you please help.

We are trying to attach a database in Sql Server 2005 Express on Windows Vista.It will Show the following Error.
"Unable to open the physical file "Test.mdf". Operating system error 5 :". And then we installed the SQL Server 2005 Service pack 2. This error again comes.Could you please give me the steps to resolve the problem.
I have been unable to install SQL Express 2005 Server on my Windows 2003 Server (with SP2 installed). I keep getting an error message saying that Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 is not installed.
Click here for image
So, I downloaded Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe) but whenever I try to install it I get an error message saying that "the Service Pack version of this system is newer than the update you are applying" and that there is no need to install the update and it stops there.
Click here for image
Is there a workaround to this? How can I get Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 installed? I tried going to the Windows Update site, I already have everything installed and I even started the Windows Installer service manually. Has anyone else experienced this?
How can I get SQL Server 2005 Express installed if not how can I install SQL Server 2000 on tihs machine? The only reason I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 is because wanted to try it so I uninstalled SQL Server 2000 now I can no longer install SQL Server 2000 again because it won't let me because of the SP2 patch.
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 using Sql server 2005 on our local network. I have an vpn open to an other network. Before installing Vista SP1, I could simple connect to the db (sql server management studio, windows authentication).
After installing Vista SP1, I can connect to sql server when the vpn is closed. But when the vpn is open, I get the following message:
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Unit tests in our project make use of cp utility to import data into database. But the performance of running unit tests under XP and Vista differs much. The difference that I was able to notice is in CPU percentage usage: approximately 5% (XP) against 10% (Vista).
What can be the reason for bcp run slower under Vista?
First, I am a consultant and have several clients. Before upgrading to Vista, I used Windows XP and was able to use SQL Server Management Studio to connect to SQL Servers (2000 and 2005) using my saved network passwords. I would establish a connection to the remote SQL Server by doing a Start - Run "\sqlservernamec$" and when prompted for credentials, I would give the domain account that the client has provided me and password and select the "Save password" checkbox. This would put these credentials in my saved credentials list for my user account. After doing this, I would be able to connect to the SQL Server via Windows Authentication in SSMS and Integrated Security (SSPI in connection strings) from applications (ASP and .Net). Everything worked happily with locked down SQL Servers and Windows Authentication.
Then comes Vista...
None of this works. It seems the stored credentials in Vista do not get honored when connecting to a SQL Server, other than the instance installed on my local machine. I have been able to connect to a remote instance via Named Pipes, but most of my clients have that disabled because of incompatibility with Distributed Transactions. So, I ask, is there any way to connect to a remote SQL Server instance (2000 or 2005) from Vista via TCP and Windows Authentication when the client Vista workstation is not in the same domain as the server?
I have tried so many things, I am not sure where to continue from. I have looked into setting SPNs for domain accounts, upgraded servers to latest service packs, etc.
Bottom line, this is the only thing i have found with SQL Server that ALWAYS worked in Windows XP does not work in Vista and, at this point, is getting close to being a killer causing me to go back to XP.
my VB6 programs that use ADO to access SQL or Access databases do not work in Windows Vista. While they run smoothly in all older Windows versions, they fail in Windows Vista environments. Especially, the ADO connection does not work anymore. The same connection strings that work perfectly in all older Windows versions, do not work in Windows Vista. The error message sent by ADO is this: Runtime error -2147217887 - "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors". And, not only I get this error message on my development systems, but all other users of my programs on all Windows Vista systems.
I have been playing around with alternative connections strings, but no alternative works.
I'll install SQL Server Express SP2 on Vista during my Setup. But the setup beaks with error 110. In other articles it sounds like an folder access problem. On a Custom Action Type 210 i start a application which execute the sqlexpress.exe. I tried some other codes to impersonate or noImersonate but without success.
But i can not use the unpacked files because size is to large(170MB)
An good Idea would be unpack the setup files during setup to an custom folder with right permissions. But I dont know how unpack files without GUI (SQLEXPRESS x always show the GUI).
Hi We have a problem installing SQL Express Edition SP1 on Vista. The installation stops during installation of setup support files with the following message:

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
We have a problem to connect to a specific database on our local network from a specific Vista machine. Several other XP and Vista machines are able to connect to the database without any problem. However, with the two latest Vista machines we received, it is impossible to connect to the database. In Microsoft SQL server Management studio express, we have the error 26 "error locating server/instance specified". We are sure the server name we entered is correct. We suppose the server is correctly configured as we are able to connect from other computers. From the machines that are not able to connect to the database, we can connect without problem to other databases. We also see the server, where the database is, on the network servers list in Microsoft SQL server Management studio. . The version of the components are: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.3042.00 Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205) Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 6.0 Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.6000.16575 Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.312 Operating System 6.0.6000 We verified we have the same version of components on the Vista machine from which the connection is successful. The network database has the version 8.0. We are usinng sql server authentification method. We try to specify the IP address instead of the server name in the connection string. We also tried to specify the port. We also tried to disable the firewall. Unfortunatetly, we are not able to connect to this database. Any suggestion ?
i'm a new to vista and also with sql server 2005 reporting services ..
i was able to install all the tools in sql2005 express edition except reporting services ..gives a message IIS required ..even though the IIS is running and able to browse http://localhost ..
can any one give me an idea , how to install reporting services on vista with IIS7
I am unable to install Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007. I sought help in the BCM forum, but the developer who I spoke with came to the conclusion that it is a SQL Server Express problem that I am experiencing, and so he recommended that I come here for help.
I am running on Vista Ultimate.
Every attempt I have made to install BCM (and later SQL Express Server 2005 separately, see below) has failed at the same point, with the same error message:
"SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'sa'.
Today I attempted to install SQL Express Server SP2 separately on its own, the idea being that if this worked, then I might be able to install BCM on top of it. I attempted the SQL EE SP2 installation after uninstalling all remnants of previous installations to the best of my ablity. The SP2 installation failed at the same point, and had the same appearance, as I saw in all prior attempts. (The installer reported no errors or warnings in its system checks prior to beginning the actual install.)
Here is the summary log from this trial:

Hello, I am deploying SSRS 2005 on Windows Vista and was wondering if there was a way to automate the following three tasks so that my end-users would not have to do them?
Add a URL to the Trusted Sites for the current computer name?
Change the Security Level setting for User Authentication for the Trusted Site added in step #1 to be automatic logon with current username and password?
Change the properties on IE7 to run with Administrative privileges? I think, but am not sure that some of these can be done with VBScript? If these can't be automated, then end-users of my application will have to go through these 3 steps manually in order to view the SSRS reports that I have written without being prompted to log in, or encountering error messaged due to insufficient privileges.
On windows XP there is a Synchronize program in Accessories. When I run our replication scripts on a SQL Server Express on the XP machine and start the Synchronize program there are items there that allow me to replicate as well as set a schedule, etc.
On Windows Vista there is a Sync Center, but replication doesn't show up here.
I've searched high and low on Google and am not coming up with anything useful, which leads me to believe this is something very simple that I'm overlooking...
Does anyone know how to make your replication show up on the Sync Center in vista, or is there another application that I should download?
I am having trouble with 3 delete queries in my c# application, two other Delete queries run fine. All the Delete queries run fine on Win XP, just not in Vista(Vista's User Account Control off). Here is the simple query DELETE FROM [tableName] I get error SQL Execution error 3640. I get this error whether I am debugging in msvs2005, or running in the Query Designer or if I just run the application outside of msvs2005. I can get a Delete Query to work if i use the key columns like DELETE FROM Horse WHERE (CODE = @p1) AND (Stable = @p2) AND (HorseName = @p3)
Hope some has an idea
If not is there any other way I can delete all rows from a data table?

I want to ask a question, I am using Windows Vista Home Premium Edition in my notebook, I installed Visual Studio 2005 in it, it is working properly. Now I want to install SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition in it, in the begining it was giving me errors while installing Sql Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, but then it installed properly, but the problem is I cant see the "SQL Server Management Studio" in installed SQL Server, I think it is not installed properly.
I'm running SQL Express on Server 2003 SP1 (workstation - although, I did dcpromo promote and demote prior to installing SQL Express).
I'm trying to connect from SQL Studio Express on Vista.
TCP and Named Pipes are selected in Surface Area Config; sp_config remote, access..., 1 was run (per KB); ports 1433 & 1434 are open (I think 435 also was opened when I ran the KB instructions); Mixed mode is selected, user is set for SQL Auth, password is correct; all permissions are granted.
I found an article online which stated that mixed versions of MDAC can lead to the problem. The server has 2.82.1830 and the client has 6.0.5600.16834. Could this be the problem? If so, how to solve?
I am trying to configure a reporting server on my laptop at work. This laptop is running Vista and IIS 7. When I install reporting services, the option for "Install the default configuration" is disabled (greyed out) during setup. The install is successful, but then when I try to connect in the Reporting Services Configuration Manager, I get an unhandled exception ("A WMI error has occurred an no additional error information is available."). If I continue, this error continues to crop up as I attempt to configure the Report Server. When I attempt to configure the virtual directory, the configuration manager crashes. Then, when I navigate to the reportserver page, I get a page that states: Server Application Unavailable
The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.
Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur.
Any ideas for a solution or workaround would be greatly appreciated.
I was struggling with installing reporting services from Sql 2005 dev edition on windows vista. I somehow managed to install the SQLExpress edition for Reporting Services, but now i want to unistall it and install Sql Reporting Services from Sql 2005 Dev edition CD.
When I try to unistall the SQlExpress Reporting Servie instance, the screen which says unistalling components disappears in a couple of secs and when i refresh the list of programs installed under Programs and features, i can still see SQLExpress Reporting Servies, i do not understand why this is happening and probably this is the reason behind not able to see the Reproting Services check box ungreyed when installing SQL 2005 dev edition. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME ON THIS PLEASE?
Hi much appreciate any advise given on this query I have. I am using a user instance to manage my DB which is management studio express, when I right click and select attach DB the attach window open I go and select my DB from the default location and then it gives me the details of what I'm about to attach and when I click OK to complete it throws an exception and says cannot attach DB as the you cannot attach a DB with the same name which is already in the DB. only problem is is that there is no other DB in there with a dupe name and I just installed this DB and I was just following the Tutorials, any info would be great Thanks
