While trying to 'tidy up' I ran into this error when trying to ininstall an SQL 7.0 beta: 'Unable to locate the installation log file C:MSSQL7Uninst.isu Uninstall will not continue'.
Search confirms that such a file is not present. I would reinstall (with the final product) then try Uninstall again, but disk space prohibits this.
I am trying to uninstall Sql Server 2005 Beta in order to upgrade to the Sql Server 2005 Enterprise Edition but without success.
Here is what I have already done:
I had VS 2005 2.0 Beta and Sql Server 2005 Beta installed. I wanted to upgrade to the Professional Editions so I uninstalled VS 2005 2.0 Beta and Sql Server 2005 Beta from Add/ Remove programs.
I have successfully installed VS 2005 Professional Edition but when I try to install Sql Server 2005 it gives me an error saying that SQL Server 2005 has detected incompatible components from beta versions of Visual Studio, .NET Framework, or SQL Server 2005.
My SQL Server 2005 Beta has expired and I want to unistall it. When I try, it tells me I need to have .NET framework 2.0 before I can run setup. I do have .NET 2.0. And I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and I still get the error from SQL Server when I try to unsintall. This error is pissing me off and this stupid beta is taking up almost a gig of space. HELP.
Ok, I have tried everything I can think of, but I am still getting errors to do with SQL server 2005 beta. Since the beta expired on all the VS.net 2005 I thought it would be a good idea to uninstall the lot to save some hard disk space...how wrong I was!!

Does anyone knowns when Microsoft release SQL Server 7.0 (beta version). Because what I heard was they support to ship out between June 1 and June 8. If you have information, please cc to me. Thanks a lot for your information.
Is it possible to get a list of all the fixes and enhancements that are going into SP1 for SSIS? This will make it alot easier to test seeing as we will know what we are looking for.
I'm still using the the SQL Server 2005 June CTP to develop. I'm working for a client that intends to upgrade, but has not done so yet. We believed that we had 365 days from the date of installation before it would expire (late July). But Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 just expired, which is used by SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio, so now we can no longer develop SSIS packages or Reporting Services reports.
What can I do?
I thought that maybe installing Visual Studio 2005 express might work, but when I went there, it seems that it is split up into modules (e.g. Visual Basic 2005 express, Visual C++ express, etc...). I don't know if just one of these would be sufficient and if so, which one. Even if it would, it says I'll need to completely remove the SQL Server 2005 beta, as well as the Visual Studio 2005 beta, and I think the .net framework.
My contract is up at the end of June, and it was understood that the client was going to take care of the upgrade. Is there a quick fix here? What can I do with minimal effort? (I don't really have time to wait for the client to get the upgrade approved and done. I know, sniff, sniff! lol.)
Greetings, I seem to be getting a problem during installing SQL 7.0 over the SQL 7.0 beta. It tells me that there are ODBC components need to be upgraded and they are read only ... I can find no way of changing this.
Alternatively if I remove the beta and then install the proper version, will all the old db created under the beta still be recognised ?

This feels like a silly question, but I`m going to ask it anyway...
I have limited SQL Server experience, but have run into a wall with a client`s Web/Access combination. I need to upgrade to SQL Server. I have Beta3 installed on a development box and am very happy with it. Is anyone running this thing in a production environment? This isn`t going to be experience huge loads, so I`m tempted. Tell me if I`m crazy for wanting to try it.

What's the deal with SQLServer 2005 Beta?I've just got a magazine with a free cover disk with VB 2005 beta,and also includes SQLServer 2005. I've installed it, but I can't get itto do anything. It seems to have installed ok, there are the data filesfor allthe usual system and example databases in place, and TaskManager shows that SQLServer is definitely running. However theonly tool that came with it is called 'Computer Management' whichallows configuration options on the network, and to start and stopSQL Server. There are none of the Enterprise Manager controls toaccess the database, create tables, create users and so on. Enterprisemanager from SQL Server 2000 seems unable to detect the newinstallation.What's going on? Are there client tools I can download to access thedatabase with?
I would just like to give my feedback on the configuration packages implementation in SSIS:
THIS STUFF SHOULD BE A NO BRAINER AS IT IS A COMMON REQUIREMENT ON ETL PROJECTS.
I have trolled through these forums and found that I am not alone on this issue. Note for SSIS Team: Please bring out a HOWTO on this subject that details all the little work arounds because intuitively used it does not work.
Consider this:
I develop in BIDS on my client and everything runs. I create a config package and I choose only the Name and ConnectionString Properties for each Connection Manager. (Thanks to Jamie for that tip)
I build the app and a deployment utility is created. I navigate to the deployment directory, and deploy. I point to a mapped share on the production server, change all the properties for production and continue until finished.
On the production server I run a script containing:
Still: Cannot find the configuration file: source.dtsConfig
I have to MANUALLY edit the dtsx file to put the path in from the the name of the config file and THEN it works.
Thinking that it might not like a mapped share from desktop to deploy to, I copIED the contents of the depLoyMENT directory on my desktop to a folder on the production server and deploy from there. It should pick up the proper path from there. NOT!!!!
So it was back to editing the dtsx file.
So there you have it. I await all comments with great interest.
I hope this is all fixed in SP2, Because I don't want to waste anymore time on what should be a simple task.
if anyone could help me out with this I would be most grateful.
At one customers site for some reason SQL Server Beta V 9.00.0852 has been installed the version I have is SQL Server V 9.00.1399. I need to test various things on our customers database however when I take a backup and come to restore the database against my version of SQL there is a version incompatibility.
Therefore I have the option of updating the backup in some way so it's compatible, from what I've researched I don't think this is possible. The other option is to install the SQL Server Beta V 9.00.0852 however I can't find it anywhere.
If anyone could help me out it with this it would be much appreciated.
When I installed Visual Studi C# Express, SQL Server Express was not installed because SQL Server Beta was already there. I tried to uninstall SQL Server Beta several times and failed to do so through Add/Remove Programs. Accidentally, I uninstalled SQL Server Set-up programs from Add/Remove and consequently, I am unable to uninstall SQL Server Beta through Add/Remove anymore.
Is there a utility to download that enable me to uninstall SQL Server Beta? I have no way to install SQL Server Express without removing the previous version. It seems to be a real problem from the many questions I found on MSDN.
I'm running VS2008 beta2. I've succefully added a SDF database file to my project and created a couple of tables in it from VS. I added a reference to the System.Data.SqlCeConnection. When I try to create a new instance of the SqlCeConnection class I get a nasty error that states I'm missing the 'sqlceme35.dll' file. I copy all of the files .dll into by bin folder. Now I'm getting a BadImageFormat error when I create an instance. Does anyone know what that means? or why I had to copy those files to begin with? This is very odd. Any help would be appreciated. I am new to SqlCe.
I installed the beta version first and it was working fine, then I obtained a copy of SQL Server 200 Enterpirse Edition and installed it. But I can't connect to the beta SQL Server 2005 Instance on my computer through Enterprise Mananger, but I can in Query Analyzer. ANyone know why?
I plan to upgrade from SQL Server Express Beta 2 to RTM. Since this requires and uninstall and re-install process (not just upgrade), what are the steps I need to take to backup my database in Express Beta 2 and then import it into the new RTM version? I have scripts to recreate the tables and stored procedures, but how do I get the data migrated?Thanks in advance. Cheers, Kris.
Ok is this possible?? I tried to import data thinking it should just work - ha ha! Threw lots of errors about table and column mapping instead. Hodgehegs
Hi. I have a strange problem. ASP.NET pages works, but when I try to estamblish a connection, I get an error: Shared Memory Provider:Connection was terminated pointing to Connection.Open();.I must say that this same code has worked before and I have some Windows App that works (connects to a the same MSSQL), and ASP.NET pages don't.I've tried to Disable the Shared memory from SQL Configuration Manager, but no luck.The only thing that I've notice is that when I go to IIS Manager and click properties on web site properties and under the ASP.NET tab i combobox I don't have anything, just empty combobox.I repeat that ASP.NET pages working, only when I want to contact the database, error raises.I've tried to instal framework again, hoping that combobox wan't be empty, but it's still the same.Please, help me with this. Iam getting desperate and a little bit angry most of all because this same code has worked before.Thanks.
I am doing an upgrade of SQL Server from Beta 3 release to the release version. I will appreciate if I get some information , some tips that I should follow which will make my task simpler. The database is very critical and big. It has huge amounts of stored procedures. If you can tell me any site which gives information regarding this that will be also helpful..
I am having trouble installing SQL 7.0 beta 3 on my home PC running Windows 98. The setup process fails in the last stage when it attempts to start the server. The one thing missing on my PC is it still doesn`t have any TCP/IP address; does it matter? I have also noticed that when I run the setup, it doesn`t recognize Named pipe protocol. Have anybody had similar problem?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. -Manoj
Hi Group, I'm trying to test an ASP application in 'isolation' and seem to be having problems with connecting to the Server. The setup is EXACTLY like the production environment except for the fact that I am using the Beta version of SQL.
The error refers to SQL Server not existing. I get this error also if I try to open the Query Analyzer without FIRST starting the Services via the Service Manager - so I think it is probably something wrong with the Beta Installation rather than using the BETA version as a back-end.
I've tried using the Computer name as the Server to connect to as well as 127.0.0.0 - neither seem to want to connect.
I can connect manually and see the Database objects. I've even connected, left the connection open and tried running the application again. I still get the same error.
Has anyone experienced this before? i.e not being able to connect to a BETA version of SQL to test an ASP application locally.
