I am working on a machine with Windows XP Service Pack 3. I have Visual Studio 2010 and have installed the express version of SQL Server 2008.
I got a SQL Server 2005 server for my development environment. I need to write a SSIS package.My machine doesn't have BIDS.
I tried installing BIDS with my SQL Server 2005 software and it is not going through the entire installation and it is failing.
I checked the Event Viewer and it has information - Event ID 1033 Source: MSiInstaller.
I don't have any other information (I know it is tough to troubleshoot installation issues with the information I have provided.) and wondering has anyone encountered this error?

I work for a company that is in the middle of upgrading there code to make their software work with a new version of SQL Server Express. We are currently using SQL Server 2008 with the latest version of the software with a large existing customer base.
I am a support tech and when helping with installs the only way to get the software to install and connect to the database properly is to uninstall all versions of SQL Server newer than 2008 on the machine and then install our software which is prepackaged with SQL Server 2008.
If we install this software with existing SQL Server instances newer than 2008 the program installs but upon opening it won't connect to a database. After installing SQL Server Management Studio, there is no database made upon install and if I do a backup from my machine and restore it on the new machine it still can't connect to the SQL Server.
Is there a way to install the software when the PC has a newer version of SQL Server and create the database in SQL Server Management Studio and have it connect with SQL Server 2008?
The error message is,
(In dialog box:)
This program has compatibility issues
Microsoft SQL server(2008 and 2008R2)

you can get help online and see more information about this program's compatibility issues.
SQL Server 2008 is supported on Windows 8/Windows Server 2012 but
requires a minimum of Service Pack 3.
Select Run this program (ignore the warning) and then install SQL Server 2008 SP3 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27594.

I'm trying to install SQL Server Management Studio 2012 on Windows 8. After installing, I am unable to connect to local server and when I check SQL Configuration Manager, I found out that no sql services is running. I re-installed it many times but still no luck. Why sql services is not running ?
During the install process, check that you actually install the SQL Server Database Engine and not only SQL Server Management Studio. Management Studio is only the client software to access an instance of SQL Server somewhere (locally or on a remote server), while the database engine is actually the server software of SQL Server, hosting actual databases.
I have installed SQL Server 2005 three times now on the same box. I cleaned up registry settings, files, you name it.
All along I have been trying to install SQL Server 2005 Database and Reporting Services (x64) on a Windows 2008 Server. I have also applied the SP3 patch. Installing and Restarting the Server at every point. Verified that the installation was 64bit. ASP.NET and IIS7 are both running under 64bit.
Also, I have installed multiple instances (SQLDEV64, SQLQA64, SQLSTAGE64) of the Database and Reporting Services.
I started to go through the Reporting Services Configuration manager, installing the Reporting Database along with setting up IIS. When I go test the website I get the following error and there lies my question. How can I get around this error?
http://localhost/reportserver
Reporting Services Error
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError)
Method not found: 'Void Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.UserUtil.CleanCurrentUserName()'.

SQL Server Reporting Services
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I found the solution to my issue by pure chance. It looks like the SP3 upgrade only upgraded the last reporting services instance that was installed. So I had to manually copy the files under:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.9\Reporting Services\ReportServer
to the other instances. This seemed to fix the missing reference issue. I work with Microsoft products and defend them every day, but some of their developer tool install files are just wonky and ill packaged.
I maintain a couple of older sites running SQL Server 2000 and 2005. On my old XP box I was using SQL Server Enterprise Manager to access them.
I'm now on a Windows 7 box. Is that product still available for download/install and will it run on Windows 7? I can't seem to find a download for that specific component.
Or is there an alternative for Windows 7? I tried install SQL Server 2008 Manager Express, but the fails halfway through on Windows 7. I do have XP running in Virtual Box so could get by with Enterprise Manager if I could figure out where to install it from.
Enterprise Manager only supports up to sql server 2000. You can't use it to access sql server 2005. Instead, you need Sql Server Management Studio. You can download the express edition here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c243a5ae-4bd1-4e3d-94b8-5a0f62bf7796
I'm running both management studio and windows 7 just fine.
As for enterprise manager, it was never available for download. You had to install it from the media that came with sql server. Similarly, if you want a non-express edition of management studio you need to install it when running setup for sql server.
