I tried to install MS SQL server, yesterday on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS machine, following the instructions provided in a PDF by a company that has done it before.
Everything seemed to say it installed ok. However it didn't seem to install SQL Server Management Studio which is used for a lot of the exercises I am required to do and quite useful in general.
Has this happened to anybody else. Has anyone got any advice for what I can do to fix this.
I did notice that my machine seems to have MS SQL Server 2008 for some reason, I think it must have already been there and is conflicting, perhaps I should uninstall it. What do you think?
I hope you's can help.
Thanks

I'm guessing you downloaded and installed only the db, and not the one with "Tools". The Tools is the one that includes SSMS. No worries you can go here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062 and download the Tools separately and install it. Expanded the "Details" of the page and this will let you know about the different files you can download.

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.
When i tried to run SSMS 2012 as administrator it gives the error "application can not start". I am using windows 8 64 bit and sql server 2012.
Actually yesterday i tried to install ssms 2005 side by side installation but i stopped the installation in the middle as it needed a feature to complete installation so i stopped it. Now i want to access SSMS 2012 as administrator as i have to access integration server which prompt me to access it as administrator which lead me to run SSMS 2012 as administrator.
Any help to resolve this problem will be appreciated.
This is usually due to corrupt registries or some bad uninstall that removed files it shouldn't have. It's existed for years over multiple versions of VS and its shell. SSMS is dependent on the VS framework so it's among the potential victims, also spanning multiple versions.
This blog discusses some of the details of the problem and the comments section has some great feedback and possible solutions. The link should bring you directly to Oyvind Gellein's post whose solution worked for many. You can browse the rest of the page if you want to learn more.

Finally it is resolved by uninstalling all the SQl server components and VS frameworks. Then again reinstalled the sql server with SSMS.
First of all sorry if this is a repost or is found to be duplicate.
I'm about to install sharepoint 2010 in my laptop for development. I'm using a laptop with win 7 64-bit with 8GB RAM, with vs 2010 installed.
I'm having SP2010 with SP1 standard license.
Have went to lot of pre-requisite advisory pages but haven't got a satisfactory/complete answer and hence decided to pen down my doubts here.
Below are my queries
Can i start by auto-running the CD (sorry if it sounds a lot stupid. kindly take note that i'm at beginning stage of SP2010 with VS programming background).
Can i connect to sql server 2005 (32-bit) from sp2010 after installation for programming. Is it possible technically.
Should i need to install sql 2005/2008 (64-bit) before installing SP2010 or can i install it after completing installation of SP2010.
PLEASE provide pointers if any so that i can have a hiccup free, successful installation of sp2010.
Edit:
Have downloaded a bunch of files from the below url
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27417
Can anyone advise which virtual machine i should use to run the vhd image for sp2010
Thanks :)
Installing on Windows 7 is not recommended and tends to run into some incompatibilities. Can you use a virtual machine? Here is a link which is useful for Win 7 installation.
Answering your questions:
You can install from the DVD or a mounted Image.
You can use SQL 2005 but only 64Bit.
You should install SQL server before installing SharePoint so it will be more automated
Basic Question -
I have installed SQL Server Express 2008 with integrated SP1. This is the database engine alone.
I realise now that I also need the express studio in order to perform a few tasks. I have installed it, however I know that it was the original installer from before SP1 was released.
I have tried it and it appears to work fine but should I install SP1 / could something unforeseen happen in the future?
Some background! -
I wrote out the question and just realised that people probably don't care, so I just summed it up above!
After reading many different sites and guides, the install order for Visual Studio 2008 really confused me.
I really wanted to install SQL Server Express 2008 with advanced services, however on my other machine I had so many problems with it not being detected with Visual Studio, I just wanted an easy life!
I found the download from Microsoft that had SQL Server Express 2008 with SP1 integrated, however it was only the basic engine without any addons. (At the end of the day, as much as I wouldn't mind reporting services, I doubt I will need to use it any time soon).
I installed this, and after applying the hotfix (for x64 sql) my Visual studio can detect and use it no problem.
Now, I want to use Management Studio Express to write a few SQL scripts. The installer is obviously the original one. It seems to work fine, but I cannot find out any information - do I need to install SP1 for it?
Just install it, if its found something it can update - it will, if not... it won't....
Thanks to the wonder of Windows Installer (and I don't mean "I wonder why it's doing that?"--I mean like "This is wonderful!") it is unlikely that you have caused any big issues by running the older version afterwards.
So, yeah, you can probably just install the SQL 2008 Express Management Tools with no worries. If you want to be sure, afterwards just run the SP1 installer and it will make sure everything's up-to-date.
I always make sure to apply patches to client tools as well as server services. There is no reason to take the chance that your client tools have fallen behind in servicing.
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.
