I just installed SQL Server 2014 enterprise with default instance (hit next next). But what I happened to find that I had 4 different instances of SQL Server. One of them is 2016 version also.
The list of instances are
localdb\MSSQLLocalDB
localdb\ProjectsV12
This one is version 2016 and express edition
localdb\ProjectsV13
MyComputerName(default instance)
I did not installed named instances how they got to my computer. Is it Visual Studio that installed the other instances for its own use? By the way I saw these list from Visual Studios SQL Server Object Explorer window when I tried to add a new server. Under the.local servers pan these instances were listed
Usually they are installed via Visual Studio:

We have an old server machine with TFS 2012 installed on it. It has the 'DefaultCollection' of project collection. We want to copy (not move, i.e. leaving the collection in place) the 'DefaultCollection' collection to another machine which has TFS 2015 installed.
How can we do that please?
Thanks, ashilon
It depends a bit on how complicated your TFS installation is, but here are the steps for a simpler one server setup without Sharepoint:
Detatch the collection from your current TFS 2012 using the Team
Foundation Server Administration Console. This will copy the configuration into the collection database.
Take a full backup of the collection database (called something like Tfs_DefaultCollection) using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
Restore the original collection on your TFS 2012 server
Re-attach the database on your TFS 2015 server using SSMS. Note that if you already created a collection on this server with the name DefaultCollection, you either need to delete/rename this or restore the cloned collection using a new name.
Attach the collection on your TFS 2015 server using the Team
Foundation Server Administration Console
Start the collection so that it get's into the Online state.
Please note that build servers, drop locations and so on will now point to same thing in the original collection and the clone collection, so you need to do a bit of cleanup.
The above is a shorter version of this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd936158(v=vs.110).aspx
Edit: I have successfully used the above approach to make a test migration from TFS 2010 to TFS 2013 RTM followed by the migration of our production environment. We use the server with the test migration for testing new updates before applying to production and we have done so with all updates from 2013 RTM until 2015 Update 3. I am currently applying the same approach in upgrading to 2017 in order to get a fresh server with never version of SQL.
I am building a VB.NET application in VS2013 that uses a database created in SQL Server 2012 (which is installed locally and on the only computer that the application will be run on).
I need to execute a SQL script when the user clicks on a button. I know that I need to Import resources from SMO but when I run the SharedManagementObjects.msi installer I get a message that says,
"Installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Objects failed
because a higher version already exists on the machine. To proceed,
uninstall the higher version and then run Microsoft SQL Server 2012
Management Objects Setup again."
What do I need to do to get SMO installed to use in my project?
I am assuming you are using nuget??
It appears that you must have 2014 installed, search for this in your installed packages and click uninstall. Now try and install the 2012 version.
Or in the Package Manager Console:
Uninstall-Package Unofficial.Microsoft.SQLServer.SMO.2014
Followed by:
Install-Package Unofficial.Microsoft.SQLServer.SMO
http://www.nuget.org/packages/Unofficial.Microsoft.SQLServer.SMO.2014/
When I try to connect a TSQLConnection with MSSQLConnection it returns dbxmss.dll missing.
There is no such dll in all of my C: drive (I checked also ...\bin\ folder)
I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Delphi (XE4).
And, after that, it is still missing.
The table was created with Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (v11.0.3128.0) Management Studio.
Am I doing something wrong?
It appears you're using a Professional or lower SKU of RAD Studio. The lower editions don't come with drivers for SQL Server or Oracle for DBExpress.
You'll need to switch to using ADO (via the components in the dbGo component palette page), upgrade to a higher SKU (Enterprise or Architect), or find a third-party dbExpress driver to use instead.
Download Zip folder
Extract libmysql.dll, Place it in the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\9.0\bin64
I have the following installed on my machine:
SQL Server 2012 developer edition
VS Express 2013 for Web
VS Express 2013 For Desktop
TFS Express 2013
I can check in/out my projects through both VS Express 2013 installs, I am wanting to make my Stored Procs encrypted so need to keep unencrypted copies within a solution in TFS so have this setup but whenever I try to check in via SSMS I get the error:
Could not load file or assembly
"Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.ControlAdapter"
Version=12.0.0.0
Has anyone experienced this before or have a solution how to resolve it as the file does exist on my machine.
Have you installed the latest MSSCCI Provider found on visual studio gallery? And have you checked the SSMS options under source control provider, that it is set to Team Foundation Server. Remember that MSSCCI Provider requires Team Explorer 2013 to be installed as well.
If you are not able to connect to TFS VS2010 from VS2008. This might save you some time.
Connecting from VS2008 to TFS VS2010
Step:1 Make sure that Service Pack 1 is installed with Sql Server 2008
Step:2 Make sure that Service Pack 1 is installed with VS2008
Step:3 Make sure that Team Explorer is installed in VS 2008
Step:4 Make sure that Service pack 1 is updated for Team Explorer
Step:5 After all these Service Packs are installed on your machine, follow the below path
CmdPrompt> regedit
Hkey_Current_User>Software>Microsoft>VisualStudio>9.0>TeamFoundation> Right Click Servers>New>String Value
Give the complete URL path which look like ‘http://swstfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection’
Step:6 Close everything and open VS2008
File>Open>TeamProject
Step: 7 Connect.
I connected to TFS, but the problem is while I am trying to open the solution through VS2008 into TFS it is showing me an error
"This project (fmPilot.SSIS.ClientIntegrations.sln) cannot be opened from source control because it was created by a version of Microsoft Visual Studio that is incompatible with this one.
If this is the case, you may be able to open it from source control using that version of Microsoft Visual Studio, and then use Microsoft Visual Studio to open the local copy."
I also tried it through VS2010 but it is showing me an error
"Cannot be openned because its project type(/dtproj) is not supported bby this version of the application."
Can somebody help me on that..... I google it some says that permission might be the reason.. Please help me...
Thanks,
Karthik
Make sure that you have Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) installed on your machine. Having just Visual Studio 2008 doesn't mean that you can open SSIS packages.
To verify whether you have BIDS installed:
Open Visual Studio 2008 IDE. Click Help and About Microsoft Visual Studio.
Make sure that you see SQL Server Integration Service.
Another way to verify is by trying to create a new project in VS 2008. You should see Business Intelligence Projects under Project types.
If you do not see this, then it means you don't have BIDS installed on your local machine. You can install BIDS by installing SQL Server 2008 client tools.
Following link shows how to install SQL Server 2008 client tools.
