Error while installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on Windows 7 - sql-server-2005

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.

Can't install SQL Server 2005 on Win10 x64

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.

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.

How to install SQL Server 2005 Express in Windows 8

I tried to install SQL Server 2005 Express SP3 x64 on Windows 8 but the installer gives me an error:
An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL server native
Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy
of the installation package 'sqlncli_x64.msi'
How can I solve the problem?
I had the same problem. But I also had to perform additional steps. Here is what I did.
Perform the following steps (Only 64bit version of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition tested on Windows 8 Pro 64bit)
Extract sqlncli.msi / sqlncli_x64.msi from SP3 or SP4. I did it from SP4
Install sqlncli
Start SQL Server 2005 Setup
During setup I received an error
The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."
Don't click cancel yet. From an installation of SQL Server 2005 SP3 or SP4 copy SQLSERVR.EXE and SQLOS.DLL files and put them in your SQL install folder.
Click RETRY
For STEP 5 above: Although I didn't try looking into SP4 / SP3 setup for SQLSERVR.EXE and SQLOS.DLL but if you don't have an existing installation of SQL Server 2005 SP3/SP4 then maybe try looking into the SP3/SP4 EXE (Compressed file). I am not sure if this may help. In any case you can create a VM and install SQL Server 2005 with SP3/Sp4 to copy the files for Windows 8
I had a different experience loading SQL Server 2005 Express on Windows 8. I was using the installer that already had SP4 applied so maybe that explains the difference. The first error I received was when Setup tried to start the SQL VSS Writer. I just told it to Ignore and it continued. I then ran into the same error Sohail had where the SQL Server service failed to start. There was no point in following the rest of Sohail's method since I already was using a SP4 version of SQLServr.exe and SQLOS.dll. Instead, I just canceled the install rebooted the machine and ran the install again. Everything ran fine the second time around.
The place I found Sohail's technique invaluable was when I needed to install SQL Server 2005 Standard on Windows Server 2012. We have a few new servers we're looking to roll out with Windows 2012 but we didn't feel the need to upgrade SQL Server since the 2005 version has all the functionality we need and the cost to license SQL 2012 on these boxes would have been a 5-figure sum.
I wound up tweaking Sohail's technique a bit by adding steps to revert the SQLServr.exe and SQLOS.dll files so that I could then apply SP4 fully. Below are all the steps I took starting from a scratch install of Windows Server 2012 Standard. I hope this helps anyone else looking to get a fully updated install of SQL Server 2005 x64 on this OS.
Use Server Manger Add roles and features wizard to satisfy all of SQL's prerequisites:
Select the Web Server (IIS) Role
Add the following additional Web Server Role Services (note that some of these will automatically pull in others, just accept and move on):
HTTP Redirection
Windows Authentication
ASP.NET 3.5 (note that you'll need to tell the wizard to look in the \Sources\SxS folder of the Windows 2012 installation media for this to install properly; just click the link to "Specify an alternate source path" before clicking Install)
IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility
IIS 6 WMI Compatibility
Start SQL Server 2005 Install, ignoring any compatibility warnings
If SQL Server service fails to start during setup, leave dialog up and do the following:
Backup SQLServr.exe and SQLOS.dll from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn
Replace those two files from a working copy of SQL Server 2005 that already has had SP4 applied (alternatively, extract them from the SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4 distributable using 7-Zip, here's a helpful write-up.)
Return to setup, hit Retry and setup will now run to completion.
Stop SQL Service and restore orignal versions of SQLServr.exe and SQLOS.dll (or else SP4 doesn't think it is needed in the next step)
Install SQL Server 2005 SP4
Install SQL Server 2005 SP4 Cumulative Hotfix 5069 (Windows Update wasn't offering this for some reason so I had to download and install manually)
If you want the latest documentation, install the latest version of SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Microsoft says the SQL Server 2005 it's not compatible with Windows 8, but I've run it without problems (only using SP3) except the installation.
After you run the install file SQLExpr.exe look for a hidden folder recently created in the C drive. Copy the contents to another folder and cancel the installer (or use WinRar to open the file and extract the contents to a temp folder)
After that, find the file sqlncli_x64.msi in the setup folder, and run it.
Now you are ready the run the setup.exe file and install SQL server 2005 without errors
I found that on Windows 8.1 with an instance of SQL 2014 already installed, if I ran the SQLEXPR.EXE and then dismissed the Windows 'warning this may be incompatible' dialogs, that the installer completed successfully.
I suspect having 2014 bits already in place probably helped.
install "SQL Express 2005 service pack 4" version "directly".
it contains sql Express 2005 inside . dont let the name fool you

Sql server 2005 and windows 7

I have the symptoms in this articles, but I have Windows 7 32 bit, and "Group Policy Management Console" dos not work install due to compatibility problem so I can't follow the tutorial. Can you help me running SQL server 2005 ?

My life become easy when I install Developer Edition!! obviously Enterprise Edition can't work with Windows 7.
If the client components fail to install, try to use "Change" button in "Add and remove programes"

SQL Server 2005 - clicking on job->Properties yields "New Job" window

Recently, I've started having a problem with my SQL Server 2005 client running on Windows XP where right-clicking on any job and selecting Properties instead brings me to the New Job window. Also, if I select "View History", I get the history for all jobs, instead of the one I right-clicked on.
This happened to me once before, and I found that I hadn't installed a service pack for SQL 2005. Once I installed it, the problem went away, and I haven't seen it in about a year. I haven't run any updates on it since, and I'm not sure what could have caused this.
As a possibly related note, I've tried installing XP Service Pack 3 on my machine twice, and it just hung on my machine(I started running it on Friday before leaving for the weekend, and it hadn't gone more than5-10% when I got back on Monday). I'm not sure if that fact is related at all, but I thought it possible that the XP update somehow overwrote something that SQL 2005 used before hanging.
Any ideas on what could cause this? I've included the current version info that shows up in SQL 2005.
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio - 9.00.1399.00
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools - 2005.090.1399.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) - 2000.085.1117.00 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Microsoft MSXML - 2.6 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer - 7.0.5730.13
Microsoft .NET Framework - 2.0.50727.1433
Operating System - 5.1.2600
Update: I reinstalled SQL 2005 service pack 2 on my machine and it fixed the problem. I'll have to see if the problem was caused when I tried installing xp sp3.
I would suggest the following path:
Make sure that you have current backups for the server
Try to get a clean install of the XP service pack
Try reinstalling the client tools on the machine
If that fails, try to install (or reinstall) SP2 for SQL Server
