Blue Prism, regarding SqlServerExpress - sql

I have two set up files for SQLServer
SQLServer2017-SSEI-Expr 5Mb
SSMS-Setup-ENU 540 Mb
Which file need to be installed.
If the setup file need to be installed then what is the use for the first one?
can someone please advice?
Thanks

SQLServer2017-SSEI-Expr is an installation package for installation of SQL Server Express binaries required to run the database server. You must install it to have your server.
SSMS-Setup-ENU is an installation package for GUI client which allows you to connect to SQL Server database instance and manage it. Although it's not required to be installed on the machine with running SQL Server it's recommended to be installed on administration/developer machine to interact with the database using T-SQL.

Powershell script to install Sql Server from scratch

I have download the .iso file to install the SQL Server . I want to automate the process of installation on windows server using powershell script so that i can run those scripts in multiples machines.
I have searched online but didn't find any good material to do so from scratch.
I am a beginner in powershell.Can anyone provide a sample script to do so?
Tried this answer on Stackoverflow but didnt get it>
Install SQL Server using PowerShell
AFTER you have mounted the ISO file you can install SQL Server:
From cmd passing parameters. Installing a new instance of SQL Server at the command prompt specifying the features to install and how they should be configured.
From configuration file. SQL Server Setup provides the ability to generate a configuration file based upon the system default and run-time inputs. You can use the configuration file to deploy SQL Server throughout the enterprise with the same configuration. You can also standardize manual installations throughout the enterprise, by creating a batch file that launches Setup.exe.

Run SSIS programmatically, remotely, and without a Windows or Web Service... maybe with Powershell

I'm working on a project where the client Company has one Enterprise SQL Server license and its box is highly exclusive. I need the Enterprise version because the package uses fuzzy lookups.
So I want to trigger the launch of the package remotely from some VB.Net code. I can't use the DTS Runtime library because they require the calling box to be running the Enterprise version too; besides Enterpise is version 2012 while everywhere else is SQL 2008 R2. I can't install either a web service or a Windows Service on the Enterprise machine to call an SSIS package because the client won't let me. I could create a job but I don't know how to trigger it on-demand.
I've read that Powershell is the answer but the script I've written generates an invoke command that runs DTExec which doesn't work as again I don't have the Enterprise version installed locally. Can anybody point me to the solution? I've looked and looked and all I find is variations on what I've already tried and know won't work.
Cheers

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.)

Oracle client and networking components were not found

I created SSIS will do task like get data from oracle to sql server.i run ssis package run in my local system.it is working fine but i deployed ssis package in remote system and trying access from sql procedure. I'm getting error like below.
Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version on 7.3.3 or later client software installation.
Please let know if any solution there?
Simplest solution: The Oracle client is not installed on the remote server where the SSIS package is being executed.
Slightly less simple solution: The Oracle client is installed on the remote server, but in the wrong bit-count for the SSIS installation. For example, if the 64-bit Oracle client is installed but SSIS is being executed with the 32-bit dtexec executable, SSIS will not be able to find the Oracle client.
The solution in this case would be to install the 32-bit Oracle client side-by-side with the 64-bit client.
Technology used: Windows 7, UFT 32 bit, Data Source ODBC pointing out to 32 bit C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe, Oracle client with both versions installed 32 bit and 64 bit.
What worked for me:
1.Start -> search for Edit the system environment variables
2.System Variables -> Edit Path
3.Place the path for Oracle client 32 bit in front of the path for Oracle Client 64 bit.
Ex:
C:\APP\ORACLE\product\11.2.0\client_32\bin;C:\APP\ORACLE\product\11.2.0\client_64\bin
1.Go to My Computer Properties
2.Then click on Advance setting.
3.Go to Environment variable
4.Set the path to
F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2\perl\5.8.3\lib\MSWin32-x86;F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2\perl\5.8.3\lib;F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2\perl\5.8.3\lib\MSWin32-x86;F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2\perl\site\5.8.3;F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2\perl\site\5.8.3\lib;F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2\sysman\admin\scripts;
change your drive and folder depending on your requirement...
After you install Oracle Client components on the remote server, restart SQL Server Agent from the PC Management Console or directly from Sql Server Management Studio. This will allow the service to load correctly the path to the Oracle components. Otherwise your package will work on design time but fail on run time.
In my case this was because a file named ociw32.dll had been placed in c:\windows\system32. This is however only allowed to exist in c:\oracle\11.2.0.3\bin.
Deleting the file from system32, which had been placed there by an installation of Crystal Reports, fixed this issue

Oracle Instant Client with web application

I have a visual studio solution with an ASP.NET 3.5 web application (WCF host) and a test project. I wanted to use the Oracle Instant Client (v11, via NHibernate) to create Oracle connections without having the Oracle client tools installed on every "involved" machine (dev, CI server, test server, production server).
The weird thing is that on my development machine (x86) my tests run without problem, while my web application still gives me the following error message: System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater
Things I ruled out already:
The bin folder has read & execute permissions for everyone
The DLL's are unblocked (windows 7)
Problem occurs with both Visual Studio Development Server and IIS 7
I've also tested this on a machine with Oracle client tools installed and that works
I even managed to get the tests running on our x64 CI server (more info).
Anyone has a clue on what I am missing?
I see this error almost every time I set up Oracle on a new machine.
Check that the oracle bin folder is in your path
Give read and execute permission to everyone on the client folder (on my machine C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1)
Changing permissions may not take effect until you reboot your machine.
EDIT:
From your comment, steps 2 and 3 are irrelevant for Oracle Instant Client. Hoverer, I would guess that the problem is still that the system cannot find the Oracle Instant Client DLLs. It would be worth putting the location of these DLLs into your path and seeing if this resolves it.

Installation Instructions
Installation Steps:
Download the appropriate Instant Client packages for your platform. All installations REQUIRE the Basic or Basic Lite package.
Unzip the packages into a single directory such as "instantclient".
Set the library loading path in your environment to the directory in Step 2 ("instantclient"). On many UNIX platforms, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the appropriate environment variable. On Windows, PATH should be used.
Start your application and enjoy.
