Problem in Installation of old version of Dotnetnuke - vb.net

I am working on a very old project developed using Dotnetnuke version 4.4.0. After configuration of database I face with this error "Connection Error(s):
You must choose a Database Type". I have searched a lot but there is no information about this error on the web. Please hence that I am new to the dotnetnuke and windows related tools for web development such as IIS and ...
More information: dotnetnuke version 4.4.0, windows 10 and sql server 2008 r2
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Try installing a clean DNN 4.4.0 and compare the connection strings (there are 2!) with your web.config file.

upgrade Sitecore 8.0 to 8.1. Issue with SQL script

I'm trying to upgrade Sitecore 8.0 rev. 150812 to Sitecore 8.1.
I have downloaded "Sitecore 8.1 Upgrade Guide" here:
https://dev.sitecore.net/Downloads/Sitecore_Experience_Platform/Sitecore_81/Sitecore_Experience_Platform_81_Initial_Release.aspx
I got stuck on the following step from this guide :
Upgrade the SXP database schemas:
SQL Server: Execute the SXP81_BeforeInstall.sql script on the reporting databases.
I got following error message in Management Studio when I run script on Master or Web database :
Cannot find the object "dbo.Trail_Interactions" because it does not exist or you do not have permissions."
And also some other similar issues.
I have two different environments with Sitecore 8.0 and neither have those objects: dbo.Trail_Interactions, dbo.FailureDetails and so on (which are used in SQL script).
How can I finish upgrading successfully?
As mentioned the script should only be run on the reporting database. The reporting database is the one defined by the connection string name reporting in ConnectionStrings.config.
<add name="reporting" connectionString="{connection string}"/>
The database is by default named something like either Sitecore_Analytics or Sitecore_reporting.

LinqPad Error: Unable to find the .Net Framework Data Provider

I am new to LinqPad.
I downloaded a .sdf file from the internet (i know what it is) I wanted to view its tables. So I googled "how to read .sdf files" and came across Linqpad, which I installed.
When I browse to my .sdf file from LinqPad and try to open it as a connection, I get the message "Unable to find the requested .Net framework data provider, it may not be installed"
Does this mean i need to install SQL CE before using LinqPad? I assumed LinqPad was the program to view tables, run queries, etc and that I did not need the original db program.
Please advise on what the error refers to and best way to resolve. thanks
To answer your question, yes you do have to install it. I just ran across this problem while trying to connect to a Sql CE 3.5 DB in LinqPad. You have to have the proper version installed first. I only had 4.0 installed and was trying to connect to a 3.5 DB. So had to use the SSCERuntime msi found here to install the items shown below:
Just go to that link and download it somewhere and then run the msi(s).
Note the following:
It is mandatory to install both the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of
SQL Server Compact MSI files on a 64-bit Computer. Installing only the
32-bit version of the SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 MSI file on a 64-bit
computer will lead to failure of the existing SQL Server Compact 3.5
applications on the Computer.
So just follow the instructions shown in the "Install.txt" that is downloaded with the msi's.
After installing them I had to close and reopen LinqPad and then the connection worked.
I'll add a variant on Kasper's solution. For the case of connecting to SQL CE 4, I appeared to already have the SQL CE4 runtimes installed yet I still got the same error.
Trying to install the latest SQL CE 4 from Microsoft reported that a newer version was already installed and aborted the install.
Uninstalling the "newer version" and then installing the latest download fixed the problem for me.
I'm not sure how I got that original version, that's "newer" than the latest from Microsoft. Possibly from an older Visual Studio install.
You first need to make a connection to your database. You can do that by clicking "Add Connection", "Default Linq to Sql connection" and then marking your version of SQL CE on top and providing the information.
LinqPad is not just viewing tables, run queries etc. It is much more than that.

SSIS : Deployment failed on Changing Protection Level stage with XML Error

I am using SQL Server Data Tools 2012 version and Project Deployment Model.
I am getting below error while changing Protection level stage of the Deployment on Client's Testing Environment.
The package failed to load due to error 0xC0011008 "Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information can be stored.". This occurs when CPackage::LoadFromXML fails.
I have created Project parameters to provide Sharepoint Site Connection String and SQL Server Database Connection String.
( Overview of the SSIS Package : Extracting data from SharePointLists and then importing in SQL Tables.)
When I searched for this error, found many ways to set the package configurations for Package Deployment Model.
What is that thing which I am missing here in the configuration of Package, so that it is not able to encrypt decrypt the mentioned UserID and Password details ?
I have gone through many forums to get clear idea on this, but could not find any solution yet.
Is it something to do with the Integration Services Version and Deployment Utility version same on the Client environment as well ? Where exactly I should check the installed versions of them ?
The ProtectionLevel is set to : DontSaveSensitive
Please help.
Thank you,
Mittal.
The prob for me was the version of sql targeting. The sql target was 2016 while i was trying to deploy to sql server 2012. so just changed the targeting from VS project properties and it worked.
I faced this issue where i was getting 'changing protection level failure. Earlier I got package version issue when I run the package from catalog. Thats because i used latest sql server data tools in my development environment and version in dev environment was 8 but in server it requires 6. But even after deploying from server with sql 2012 version, the problem persists. Later I changed the target versions in the project properties as suggested by patricgh and it worked fine.
My case is slightly different but, in the similar lines.
Local SQL server version: SQL Server 2016
Server SQL server version: SQL Server 2012
If I open the ISPAC file on my local, the package gets converted to Version 8. But on the server, its version 6. So, if you try to deploy the version 8 package on SQL server 2012, you will get the following error.
Deployment failed on Changing Protection Level stage with XML Error
To resolve this, Open the ISPAC file on the server and build it. Then deploy the package on the server. It should get deployed successfully. Hope this helps.

Trouble installing SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Services

Whenever I try to install SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Services I am getting this error:
I have tried both version (32-bit/64-bit) and re-downloaded multiple times.
How can I solve it ?
Check if you have .Net framework 4 installed at your machine. If not - download it and install it and then try again with SQL Server.
Also check this bug at Microsoft site about .Net framework 4 (there is workaround explained in the bug).
FWIW, I just downloaded and installed SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe from HERE on a vanilla Win7Pro/64 VirtualBox virtual machine and encountered no errors.
Edit
I also installed SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe from that same location on an older Vista machine. The SQL Server installer told me that it needed some new .NET components, then it proceeded to download and install them. I didn't need to manually install anything ahead of time.
Also perhaps worth noting:
Both of the machines on which my installs were successful had no anti-virus software installed. (They are development boxes behind a firewall and I don't do email or web surfing on them.)

Error while installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on Windows 7

I was trying to install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on my Windows 7 pc. When I tried to install it, it tells me that I have a newer version installed on my pc. So, I checked that Microsoft Sharepoint 2010 installed some sql server 2008 tools for me.
I decided to uninstall SharePoint 2010(which I wasn't using) and then tried to install MS SQL Server 2005 again. This threw me the following exception:
Error 1603 installing microsoft sql server setup support files
Searching on Google I found this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916760 but it's not my case actually.
Any help will be appreciated. I really need this to continue working.
I hope this might be useful

Turn on all the Windows Features for IIS - this fixed the problem for me.
This is done via Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off.
