I'm about to unistall V6.5 from my 7.0 server. Has anyone done this yet?
Does it require a machine reboot? Have you had any problems after the uninstall? Is it really as simple as the BOL leads me to believe?
Hi there
Our developers want to implement a new system but rather than buy new db servers for the purpose, they'd like to use existing kit - as consolidation seems to be the direction our company is going in. We are in the process of purchasing new servers which host 64-bit windows 2003 and 64-bit sql 2005.
The developers don't really have a requirement as to whether the db servers are 32-bit or 64-bit, but as they want to make use of our kit, their new system will potentially be hosted on 64-bit os/sql 2005. As they haven't done the reseacrh into potential issues, we'll have to do that for them - is there anything we need to worry about? I know there are some issues with SSIS, such as no 64 bit support for Jet Engine data sources, etc. Is there anything else we need to be aware of?
Any tips would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Di
Hi,
Does Microsoft have (for those MS folks who monitor this forum) or has anyone compiled a list of gotchas on running SSIS for x64. I know of two right now from this forum (and there are undoubtedly more):

I was thinking of deploying an SSIS infrastructure on Windows Server 2003 x64, but if there are too many problems or complicated workarounds, it might not be worth it.

Does anyone know where I can locate a list of gotchas for upgrading SQL 7 to 2000. I'm not sure there are many?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi fellow techs! I am getting to know SQL 2000 intimately and it's been a fun ride with the top down!
My question is, are there any gotchas that I should be aware of in SQL 2000 if I want to change 3 of my databases running on one 2000 SQL server from simple to full recovery model? I want to begin backing up the log file for point in time purposes, but don't want anything to break by disregarding the gotchas, if there are any.
Thanks!
No, I'm not having any problems(yet) with servicepack 5a. However, in order to fine-tune an installation script, I need to install 5a on my test server several times.
So....how do I uninstall it? I was going from sp 3 to 5a. TIA

Hi!
I'm trying to uninstall SQL Server 7.0 going through Add/Remove Program and getting message "sqlserver.exe in use".
All my applications are closed, SQL Server service is stopped and Agent is stopped also.
What else should I check to be able to uninstall it?
Thanks

I downloaded the SQLEVAL but did not install it on my computer. It is not something I am going to need to use. Can I just delete the file folders to remove it, or do I have to finish the install, then go through the uninstall process? I would rather avoid the install because it has caused problems for a co-worker and I don't want to run into similar issues.
This may be the silliest question you guys see on the boards, but I would rather look stupid then to do something I shouldn't and screw up my computer.
If you need to know I am running Windows XP with SP2 installed.
Thanks in adavance for your help!
Hi,
I tried to uninstall SSRS and SQL Server from my machine. I removed it using ADD/REMOVE Program. Now I can not see SQL Server in ADD/REMOVE Program. But Still SSRS is runing in my machine. But I can not initiate SSRS in configuration manager. It says smthing abt WMI error. When I try to install SQL, it says another service is running.
Now I think If I remove SQL and SSRS from my machine smhow, and install it again I can fix this. But now I can not either install it or uninstall it. Can smone please help me?
Thanks
I am trying to uninstall SQL Server 2005 CTP version before installing Beta version and keep getting an ARP Wrapper Error message that states "Registry Enumeration Failed". I ran Registry Mechanic, etc, but there are no indications of a problem.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have to uninstall Sql Express because of a problem that arose after I tried to make a connection from VS2008 Server Explorer to SqlExpress ( connection strings run from C3 code worked fine). I began getting weird errors and the issue has not been resolved after a long thread I ran in this forum.
It turns out there are plenty of dire warnings on the web and MSDN not to do this or that before you tried to uninstall. To tell you the truth I have uninstalled Sql Express in the past quite a few times but every time you fight new challenges and it is difficult to learn from experiecne. I have always done it headlong without considering consequences, eventually this bulldozed approach worked every time but there is a chance that with the .NET getting more complicated this time I may get in trouble.
I am referring to this article on MSDN: before you uninstalled Sql Express:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143365.aspx
which is awfully unclear. It seems it recommends uninstalling ALL versions of .NET from 2.0 on.
These are versions on my Vista machine:
v1.0.3705, v1.1.4322, v2.0.50727, v3 .0, v3.5
Do I have to uninstall any? I don't think I've done it before.
Now, those .NET versions I listed above are just folders in my WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework directory. When I try to open Turn Windows features On & Off I can see only .NET 3.0 Framework, nothing else. Not even .NET 3.5!
Also there is this frightening link:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.sqlserver.server&tid=0187b017-4ea2-4b32-aa28-6f6778d6b47b&mid=925c9341-fcc3-4678-ba53-80f30ee7aa28&cat=en_US_671e06d0-f20d-4bb3-9c6a-42c825ddb1dc&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=&p=1
Any comments will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi. I'm a newbie for sql server. I have a laptop loaded with win vista home premium edition. I installed sql server 2005 developer edition service pack 1 on it. It said that this version is not supported by vista so upgrade it with sp2, so I did the same. I upgraded it to sql express 2005. Now it got installed but it doesn't let me create new database and displayed the msg "LOGON FAILED FOR 'USER' " . I thought of reinstalling it. But now it is not uninstalling. I tried it through add/remove programs. The 'sql server management tools' is not visible in the start program list,but 'sql server 2005' and some other components of it are visible in add/remove programs. Then I tried using command prompt that was given in microsoft's site only http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=909967#
Step 2: Run the command to uninstall the SQL Server components
c:"%ProgramFiles%Microsoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapARPWrapper.exe /Remove"
But this was also of no help. Now What should I do??? Need your HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS!!
I have some programmes to uninstall but for some time now my "Add/Remove" page has only listed some of my programmes. Ihave some very recent downloads to remove but they do not appear anywhere.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I installed SqlExpress with Advanced services on to a server running Small Business server 2003.
I needed to uninstall SqlExp, and thought I did so through Add/Remove programs. For some reason it did not seem to uninstall. Foolishly I did not check, and then tried to install another copy in a different directory. I've then ended up with complete mess.
Tried to do another uninstall, but again, ended up with two incomplete versions of express.
Is it possible that part of my problem revolves around the fact I have a mirrored drive with Raid 1 installed.??
Whatever, I need to know how to clean up the mess and start again. Preferably without having to do a format and reinstall SBS.

Hi,
While building a vista 64 Ultimate machine recently, I temporarily installed the express edition toolkit with visual studio 2005.
I have since uninstalled sql, and reinstalled the 64-bit developer edition. However it appears the toolkit did not uninstall completely - now when I try to install workstation components, bol, etc. It says that the upgrade is blocked.
Hard as it is to believe that an express install can block a developer edition install, it does.
I've tried reinstalling the ee toolkit, as any client/management tools are better than none - but this fails, saying that the components are already on the machine!! sheesh!
It doesn't give an option to uninstall.
Has anyone got any ideas. I've uninstalled *everything* sql related, reinstalled with sp2 twice. I can see and create databases using visual studios server explorer, but this does not give any management options. Does anyone know how I can remove whatever registry entries are fouling up this installation?
Thanks,
mk17
I have a server with a fresh install of SQL Server 2000. I accidentilly installed the Sql server 2005 SP1 disk (instead of the actual software). And what it did was a nightmare. It installed the client tools and link them to the 2000 instance. I went back and attempted to install the actual 2005 copy. Ever since I have items in my add/remove that will not uninstall. I removed everything except the 2005 Engine and Analysis services. I've followed the MS article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967) with removal, trying everything. All got removed except the Engine and Analysis services!!!!
I've gone into the registry and reviewed the keys, etc! I've run removal attempts fof both command prompt and add/remove, does not work. I've tried reapplying SP's, etc no luck.
Unless I get these services off I can not install 2005 and 2000 again.
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.
Please help.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to create a all-in-one installation package for my application which make use of the SQL 2005 Express edition. It seems that there's no way to roll my application MSI installation with the database engine, the only ways around this problem is to use a bootstrap exe to launch the sql setup before or after my main application's MSI. This works fine during installation and I have modified the original .NET framework bootstrapper to do just that.
The problem comes when uninstalling my application. Since the uninstall process is all done through the MSI engine, how would I take the sql instance with me during my application's uninstall? Since the sql engine is also based on MSI technology, I won't be able to do that during the removal step of my application's MSI, right? Any one know any "clean" ways around that? Besides not letting users uninstall my application directly from Add/Remove program and force them to call another exe simular to my installation bootstrap?
I'm considering to use 3rd party tools like InstallShields, but even them are recommending people to stay with the MSI technology which is where the problem is. I'm running out of ideas really fast...
Thanks in advance!
William
