MSDE 2000A Upgrade To SQL Express SP1 With Merge Replication

Feb 8, 2007

Hello,

I have the following scenario. An application using SQL Server 2000 SP3 on the server side and clients using MSDE 2000A (SP3a) on the client machine. Since the client is offline quite often merge replication is used to keep the clients in sync.

Now we try to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 SP1. The publisher and distributor upgrade (on the same box) worked fine and all clients could still synchronize. Fine :-)

Now we try to upgrade the clients to SQL Express SP1. Now the problems start :-(

1) After the upgrade the entry within the Synchronization Manager is gone (we can overcome this by using sp_MSregistersubscription or by manually disable and enable Synchronization manager on the subscription properties)

2) Initial Synchronization (takes a long time but) works fine, if I apply changes to the subscriber or force a reinitialize all following synchronization will fail. With the following messages:

Error messages:
The merge process could not clean up the subscription to 'tstvmw23':'TestBase:'TestBase'. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147200965)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147200965
New request is not allowed to start because it should come with valid transaction descriptor. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 3989)
Get help: http://help/3989

Remark the test system I use is a nearly empty db (only with full schema and a few lookup tables) with 15MB. The same error occures if I create a new database an subscribe to the same publication.

Please help otherwise I'm forced to step back to MSDE.

Thanks in advance,

Thomas Hotz

MSDE Not Installing

Jan 19, 2004

I am running Windows XP Pro. When trying to install MSDE, sql2ksp3, i go to the command line and enter:
setup SAPWD=somegreatpassword SECURITYMODE=SQL and off it goes, gathering information and starting to install.

After a short period of time where the status bar shows about 9 seconds left the status bar runs backwards down to zero and installation stops.

No error message, no crashes, just packs up its tent and goes away.

I have tried running setup from a batch file with the same results.

I have turned off my antivirus program as well as all other programs.

Need Input! - Thanks - T.C.

Installing MSDE

May 11, 2004

Hi All,

I need help installing MSDE. I am using Windows XP. When I download it and try to set the password with the Command Prompt, it doesn't work. When I setup XP my username became the Admin. When I open the Command Prompt, it defaults into my documents and setting - I can't get a C: prompt. My login is the Admin and the old Administrator account isn't listed anywhere on my computer. Am I screwed? Do I have to reinstall XP and have the seperate Admin account? Please help.

Thanks,
Tony

Beginner Needs Help Installing MSDE

Aug 10, 2004

Hi, I am trying to teach myself ASP.NET from the SAMS 24 Hrs book and I am trying to install MSDE for use with the web matrix project.

I think I succesfully installed it the first time I tried but entered a four digit SAPWD password not knowing it needed to be strong. I clicked on the data tab in the web matrix project as instructed to open the database and entered my user and password but it gave me some error message.

Now when I click the data tab it say I need to install MSDE on my computer and links me to www.asp.net.

Then when I try to install MSDE after it has downloaded, it gives me this error message. ----- 'Setup failed to configure the server. Refer to the server error logs and setup error logs for more information.'---

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything as well as everything else I can think of.

I would be forever grateful if someone could help me out with this.

Many Thanks

Installing Northwind On MSDE

Nov 17, 2004

I've running MSDE on a win xp box with SP2. The SQL server service manager indicates that the SQL server is running. I'm using Visual Studio 2003. According to the install page for 101 VB and C# Code Samples I should install the .NET frameword samples db.. See http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=08E3D5F8-033D-420B-A3B1-3074505C03F3&displaylang=en


I cd to the appropriate dir and run osql -E -S (local)NetSDK -i InstNwnd.sql (the cmd given on the page noted above). I get the following error:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:Documents and SettingsPhilip Toews>cd C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Stud

[DBMSLPCN]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
[DBMSLPCN]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).

C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio .NET 2003SDKv1.1SamplesSetup>

I'm a newbie to .NET and SQL server so this makes no sense to me. If the SQL server service manager indicates that the SQL server is running why do I get that error and what is the work around?

Thanks .NET great ones for helping a newbie get off the ground...

Trouble In Installing MSDE A

Dec 12, 2004

Sorry if this seems to be very basic question. But after 5 hours I am thinking may be I am missing something.

I had always setup the dbs in server environment and I had never any issues but on my new Vaio Laptop with XP. Last time it was rather easy and I can not remember such issues. I downloaded (MSDE 2000) Release A from Microsoft and setting it up.

I set it up with the with the same parameters using an .ini file, I used Notepad to create a file named MyParameters.ini with these contents:


[Options]
INSTANCENAME="MSSQL"
TARGETDIR="D:MSDE"
SECURITYMODE=SQL

Then run Setup using the /settings switch to point to the .ini file:

setup /settings "MyParameters.ini" SAPWD="MyStrongPassword"

I find that my Visual studio is showing the instance at "Vaio/MSSQL" where Vaio is my Laptop. The setup created a folder in D:MSDEMSSQL$MSSQL and not in the target directory MSDE!!

Also my enterprise manager can not find it at all.

Also In visual studio I dont seem to be able to connect using my sa_password.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Installing MSDE With A Different Instance Name

Jul 20, 2005

Hi All,

I'm trying (and have been for ages) to install a MSDE server with a
different instance name than the default.  Im setting the
instancename when using the setup.exe file and all seems to install
fine, but when I then restart my system the SQL icon appears in the
system tray but the white circle is completely empty.  It says
that it is not connected.

If i install with the default instance name then all seems to work fine.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong and what I can do to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Installing MSDE On VISTA

Dec 12, 2007

I am in the process of preforming backwards compatibility testing inside our software with our sql statements. In the past we have run into problems where we write our SQL code in 2005 and SQL 2k cannot handle that code. (ie: nested sub selects within the select statement) I want to maximize effiency and install MSDE 2k on my Vista test machine but i have heard rumors that this could be potentially bad. Also if anyone has done this can you explain how to set the instance name if you already have sql 2005 installed? I would assume this would be done in the setup.ini in the MSDE folder before launch. If this cannot be done i can certainly put a XP test machine online for me to dial into and install MSDE 2k as well but it would have an existing 2005 session on it and i would need to find out how to name the instance before msde installed.

Thanks in advance

BUT now it is giving me errors which I am unable to solve... is there anyone out there that might be able to help me??

I go to a command-line, locate the directory where the install program lives and type in "setup SAPWD=(a password) SecurityMode=SQL" and it returns the follow error message:
"Setup Failed to configure the server. Refer to the server error logs and setup error logs"

My problem is I don't know where to locate these error logs. Please if anyone can help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
