Can't install SQL Server 2005 on Win10 x64 - sql-server-2005

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 on my Win10 x64.
The problem is I can't even select the Database Services and Reporting services I need cause checkbox is disabled.
I had a bit research on this issue but everyone else seems to have problems after the installation began, whereas, I can't even start the progress.
I tried Run program made for previous versions of windows and extract then install sqlncli.msi from SP4 according to this.
Neither of them enable the checkboxes and I'm running out of ideas.
Should I install sp4 without install SQL Server first? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I had the Visual Studio subscriptions and turns out you can still download the original version of SQL Server 2005 by downloads search(autocomplete won't show it but the search result will).
And the checkboxes are enabled in this version.
If you face problem during the installation, this works for me.

Uninstalling SQL Server Management Studio 2014 in Windows 8

I have a student who installed SQL Server 2014 with tools, but the Management Studio part did not install. There is no SSMMS.EXE on the machine.
So I tried to reinstall it, and the Management Studio tools come up checked but grayed out, so the SQL Installer will not let me make any changes.
So I tried to uninstall SSMS from the control panel-->uninstall programs. However, it was not there.
So I uninstalled all SQL Server programs, then I killed all running instances, then I deleted all the MSSQLServer files under both program files and program files (x64). Then I updated Visual Studio 2010. Then I tried to reinstall SQL Server.
Again, the tools appeared, but they were checked and grayed out.
Soooo. SQL server thinks the SSMS tools are installed and thus will not let me reinstall them. However, they are not installed, so I cannot remove them.
Any idea how to convince SQL server that the tools are in fact absent?
Caution incomplete answer but several more things to try:
1) Could you provide the link to the download you're using - potentially SQL Server management studio (SSMS) is not included so thus can't be installed? From reading the FAQ's this looks to be the case (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh322942)
Try this link for installing http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062
2) Another thread covers a potentially related instance where express was also installed and caused a block to install SSMS.
(Can't install SQL Server 2008 R2 management tool (complete))
3) A long shot would be if anything is left over in the registry which is causing the block. See if there is still and entry in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server] and if so rename to "_bkp"
The last two suggests are long shots but you could try:
4) Try repairing the installation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc646006.aspx
5) Try installing as logged in as another user.

Error 0x84b10001 when installing SQL Server 2012 on a machine with VS2013

I'm trying to install SQL Server Express with Service Pack 1 on my Win8 Pro (x64) development machine and I'm consistently getting an error 0x84b10001 when trying to install it:
Antivirus is disabled during the installation (done as Administrator) and I tried 2 versions of the SQL Server Express package and I'm getting the same issue with both.
I'm getting the same issue whether I'm trying the x86 or x64 packages.
I suspect that the issue comes from the fact that Visual Studio 2013 has already installed some SQL Server packages but I do not see any way to update and modify these to add the Management Studio for istance.
Well, turns out that this cryptic error is due to an older instance of SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) being present.
After uninstalling MSDE, the SQL Server 2012 setup worked without errors.
Create a new local user with administative rights and try the installation again. In my case it solves the problem with MSSQL 2008R2.
Create new user with administrative privileges and install using that user. It worked.
Remove folder:
C:\Users[USER ID]\AppData\Local\Microsoft_Corporation
It worked for me.
If you try to install SQL Server 2014 and get this error, use this web site:
http://anewdomain.net/2013/10/21/how-to-enable-net-framework-2-0-and-3-5-in-windows-8-1-for-older-programs/
You should install .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.5 first. You should check the framework versions on your PC. If you have only 4.5, you will continue to get the same error code.
Anyway, I fixed my trouble.
I hope it helps you too.
In my case, it was because trying to install an x86 package on an x64 windows, installing x64 package worked for me.

Problem uninstalling SQL Server 2005

I have a problem with SQL Server 2005.
I have a Computer with Windows 7 x64 bits installed and I want to run SQL Server 2005 correctly. The first time I try it, i did the follow:
1) Install SQL Server 2005
2) Install SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 x64
And it works!
But now (for reasons that are irrellevant) I need to uninstall all and re-install again to check the steps.
So I went to Add/remove programs of Windows and uninstall all the SQL Server things that I found. After, I did the same steps that I said before, but... it didnt work! What's going on?
I saw that the uninstall of SQL Server 2005 seems that it didnt go well because i can find the instance of SQLExpress... and i read that Service Pack of SQL Server cant uninstall.
But... how can remove ALL SQL Server 2005 things, to start again the installation like i did the first time?
Thanks
If you want to know how to remove the instance you can see here how to do it manually. Another resources is here and here.

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.

Replacing SQL Server 2005 Express Management Studio with the full version

I have been running SQL Server 2005 Express Management Studio ("SSMSE"), and I now have a need to install the full version of Management Studio ("SSMS"). This is a known hassle, but I've not found a comprehensive way to carry it out.
At first, I uninstalled SSMSE, and then ran SqlRun_Tools.msi to install the toolset. I got this error message:
A component that you have specified in the ADD_LOCAL property is already
installed. To upgrade the existing component, refer to the template.ini
and set the UPGRADE property to the name of the component.
I had no idea what template.ini was. So I looked around, and decided to uninstall the rest of the minimal installation of SQL Server 2005 Express on my computer by following Microsoft's advice in KB 909967, "How to uninstall an instance of SQL Server 2005 manually." That bit was very successful.
But when I attempted to run SqlRun_Tools.msi again, I faced this mess when the installer was "Preparing Installation Wizard":
The setup has encountered an unexpected error in datastore. The action
is SetDialogs. The error is : Source File Name:
...\datastorecachexmlschema.cpp
**** Compiler Timestamp: Fri Jul 29 01:13:50 2005
**** Function Name: DataStoreCacheXMLSchema::initScopeRecord*****Sour...
(but replace the asterisks with box chars, which were probably CR-LF's in the original message)
This is very frustrating. Does anybody have any advice for installing the full version of SSMS over top of SSMSE? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
I have also installed SQL Management Studio before just using the SqlRun_Tools.msi package without any problems but I think if you have previously had any other SQL Server 2005 components installed then you will need to install the Setup Support Files first as this is probably what sets up the component installation sequence. This can be done either by installing from the SQL Server installation media or by running the sqlsupport.msi file as described in the Microsoft KB article.
I resolve this problem
Steps
Go to Add\remove program
unstall SQL server browser
Install support files from CD
Install SQL_Tools.MSI
Well, I roughly found out what the problem was, based on a somewhat cryptic resolution mentioned across a few different forums. This solution suggested that I needed to install Setup Support Files. Maybe it was reinstall, since I removed something with the same name when uninstalling SQL2K5 Express. I'm not sure if they were the same files, between the full version and the Express Edition.
I had tried reinstalling SQLXML4, the Native Client, and MSXML6 just to see if I could get beyond the error involving datastorecachexmlschema.cpp, and each time, I got the same error again. But I tried the technique mentioned in the above link, and it worked perfectly.
Basically, you insert the CD and run just the first part of the installation process, which installs the installation tools, including Setup Support Files. Then you cancel the rest of the installation process, and run SqlRun_Tools.msi instead.
I got great results when upgrading 2008 express to 2008 developer by (running setup) first going to Maintenance->Upgrade Edition, and then (since Management Tools etc was still "express" and I mainly needed the Sql Profiler) I also did a complete "new" installation (Installation->"New installation or add features.."), selecting the existing instance and then selecting all features.
No uninstall or command line necessary.
Behaved the same afterwards, just with new features.
