My company wants to redistribute SQL Express with our product. I have not been able to figure out what is redistributable. Is it just the SQL Express package (SQLEXPR.exe) or is one also allowed to distribute the advanced package (SQLEXPR_ADV.exe)?
Thanks!
Hi,
We have over 1000 terminals running CE 4.2 on an x86 cpu currently using SQLCE 3.1.
We have just upgraded to VS 2008 and found the projects have been upgraded to reference SQL CE 3.5 - this is great, as we wish to use things like TOP etc.
However, all the distributable packages only include CAB files for CE 4.2 for the ARM Processor, or CE 5.0 for the x86. Is there a CAB package available for CE 4.2 for the x86 CPU? (please...)
Even just the relevant .DLL files would be fine as we repackage them ourselves anyway.
Thanks.
SQL Server 2005 Express (no sp) is 53.5 MB

SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 is 36.5 MB

That's a diff in size of almost 20 MB. How can the SP2 be so much smaller?
Hi.
I've been tasked with creating an installer that will either install SQL Express or connect to an existing SQL server.
Then I'm to run an .sql script to initialize a new database.
I'm using SSEUtil.exe as there will be no SQLCMD if the existing SQL server is on a remote machine.
Can I package SSEUtil.exe into my installer? Is this legal?
If not, is there a standard SQL Server client I can use to achieve this?
TIA,
lushdog
Does the Redistributable Package need to be installed when when calling reports in remote mode? If so, does it need to be installed on the SQL server where reporting services is installed or just on the web server that calls the reports or both? Also, since the SQL server has the reporting services version of Visual Studio, does that version of Visual Studio need to be updated to SP1?

Everyone. I see that Visual Studio 2005 SP1 is out and includes an updated
ReportViewer control. Is there an update to the ReportViewer
Redistributable with those same fixes? Our product installs this
redistributable silently, and we render reports locally (i.e. RDLC), so
installing the full Visual Studio service pack would not help us (and installing just the assemblies would not either, since the Redistributable install seems to do other things "under the hood."
Thanks for your help!

I wrote program which connect to some remote MS SQL Server 2005, create SSIS package and store it to drive. Also it have ability to load SSIS package from drive, connect to server, load the SSIS package to specified server and execute it. Obviously, I used references to SSIS dlls in program. Question is - is SQL2005 necessary to be installed on computer where I execute the program? Since the program works with remote SQL Servers, I think what only some dlls is necessary for the program. Is it so?

Basically i need to supply different reports with my application for which i dont want to use any Crystal Reports type of thing. Moreover i also want such kind of reports available on the net. Please tell me how can i do that?

I noticed that Microsoft gives license to redistribute SQL Server Express as part of an application (though we have to register for this - http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/express/howtobuy.mspx).
So we would like to take advantage of this, and redistribute SQL Server Express 2005 as part of our WinForms application (using the method described http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2006/09/20/763956.aspx or http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsse/html/emsqlexcustapp.asp)
My Question is: If we perform a silent install on the client machine (included with the installation of our application), are our end-users required to register Sql Server Express in order to use it? From this page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/register/) it appears that in order to use an Express version for longer than 30 days, one is required to register it. However, requiring our clients to register their version of Express kind of defeats the purpose of our using Express as our database format. We need a database that we can distribute with our application, that the end-users can use without having to register.
So is the redistribution license enough (in order that the end-users do not have to register their individual copies)? Or will the end-users also have to register their copies (in which case we probably cannot use SQL Express)?
Where do I find the setup files needed to redistribute sql server express installation files? I downloaded the SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE but the files disappear as soon as you cancel the installation.
I need the sql server setup files to package with my program fr distribution.
THANKS SO MUCH
Can somebody please help answering this question?
I'm planning to consider writing a SSIS package for a new project that requires downloading large chunk of data and transform into the diverse databases such as MS SQL or Oracle depending on the Client's Datbase.
For the clients having SQL Server installed at their end, i had no issues in deploying this package on their server and run it in their licensed instance.
What should be the case for others having Oracle database? Wouldn't installing the SQL 2005 client tools install the necessary run-time services for running SSIS packages? What i understood from the MSDN library (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms403355.aspx) is that there's no run-time support available for running the SSIS packages (unlike DTS run-time support) in production environment!
Would that mean that it requires a SQL Standard edition, at minimum, (as Integration Services is OOTB from Standard Edition onwards) to be installed at the production site to run this package?
If so, the client wouldn't be ready (which is fair too) to buy the new license just to run this package. Is there any work-around/suggestions for this case?
If not, can somebody please point me to the right location where i can download the run-time support for running SSIS packages?
Any thoughts on this is highly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

I am doing drillthrough from ReportA to ReportB via the Date field on ReportA. In Report Manager, all is well. However, when run through a custom app using asp.net and the report viewer control, the behavior was erratic. sometimes it would work. sometimes it would merely bring up the ReportA again and i would have to click Date again and then it would work.
a coworker recommended the Report Viewer fix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933137. Since the redistributable was not present in Add/Remove programs on my test box, i installed the full version. I then started up the .net app in debug and ran ReportA and drilled through to ReportB several times and could not make it fail. I was happy.
Since the redistributable was not present on the production box, i installed the full install there as well. However, the erratic report viewer behavior continued.
I decided to try runnign ReportB directly instead of via the drill through from ReportA. ReportB had always run perfectly on its own. When i try to use the graphical date selector control, the results are different depending on the machine I use.
1. If i am using my test box, and i run ReportB directly via the app in debug mode, i get a runtime error indicating Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object required. It then points to Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd at the GetObjectPosition(obj) function.
2. If i am using my test box and go out to the live production website, i get the same runtime error.
3. If i am using another machine and go out to the live production website, the data selector control merely seems to refresh the report. This is the same behavior i get when using the production server and going out to the live website.
The redistributable has been uninstalled from both the test box and the production box. This did not change the behavior described above.
All of the Microsoft.ReportViewer items in C:Windowsassembly indicate version 8.0.0.0.
Any help would be grand. Also, please let me know if I should cross post this in the .Net forums.
Thank you.
