what is meaning this error , when I want to install sql server 2005 ?
> TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Setup
None of the selected features can be installed or upgraded. Setup cannot proceed since no effective change is being made to the machine. To continue, click Back and then select features to install. To exit SQL Server Setup, click Cancel.
The message is pretty self-descriptive. The installation doesn't believe you're making any changes to the machine. Google/MSDN/Microsoft Help is a much better forum for this question than stackoverflow.
It thinks you are upgrading a systme already installed rather than a new instance. Check installed programs to see if there is a previous version; if you are doing a new instance make sure you specify it as you go through the wizard.

I am trying to create a default instance of SSMS to run through a few quick tutorials on my local machine. However, everything I am reading is telling me that this default instance should have been created during the wizard. Welp, I have now installed and uninstalled SSMS 2016 three times and am yet to be prompted by anything other than a simple request to install and a notification that the request is complete.
I have read online that I should use the SQL Server Management 2016 Application to create this instance, but every time I try to open that application I get this wonderful error "Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable".
I have tried running the command referenced in this article to fix the error:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/956013
But had no luck.
I've also tried to attempt to connect to what might be the default value for the instance:
-localhost
-myip
-(local)
etc..
But when I ran osql -L earlier, it showed no SQL databases on my machine and since my most recent install this command isn't even working.
You dont create instances with SSMS. SQL Server Management Studio is to query and manage existing instances.
You use the Installation media to create an instance.
Look for the Configuration manager to see what instances you have installed.
The default instance is always called MSSQLSERVER.
According to the article you linked to, you probably jacked the installation between the 32 and 64 bit versions of SQL Server.
I suggest to use the setup program and reinstall it.
I found out when creating SSIS packages that I need to have this SSIS Service installed in order to schedule them from SQL Server Agent. So with that said I've been trying all over to figure out how to get this service installed without wiping my existing instance.
I've been all over online and no one seems to have the same issues that I'm having or their resolutions aren't helping me out. Here's what I do so far and the wall that I'm hitting:
I go to Start/All Programs/Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2/Configuration Tools/SQL Server Installation Center (64-bit)
When the console opens I click on Installation and then "New installation or add features to an existing installation"
I then get a pop up that says to "brows for SQL server 2008 R2 Installation media so I point it to my Desktop where the file "SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe" resides and I get an error that says that my desktop "is not a valid installation folder"
Please help me figure this out, I've been racking my brains for days! The only solutions I've found online for this error are to completely uninstall everything and re-install and that's just not an option.

I have looked at another link within stack overflow that "may" address my problem.
Add SSIS to existing SQL Server instance
It says that I have to get my hands on the "installation media folder" or download it from Microsoft's website. I can't however find anything on their website besides the "SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe" file that I was referring to later.
----- edit 2 -----
When I try to just use SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe I get to the point where I select my instance and get this 'instance id required but missing' error. Here's a screenshot
Don't go via Start/All Programs/Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2/Configuration Tools/SQL Server Installation Center (64-bit).
Go directly to your installation media "SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe" file, and run it. It will open same panel, that installation center does, but it will not ask for any installation media, and will take you directly to next step.
Hope you go through successfully.
P.S.: You can't update SQL Server 2008R2 installation with SQL 2008 setup files.
I am having trouble establishing connections with tnsnames.ora while using SQL Developer 1.5.4. I have looked at other threads on this site and they have told me to go to Tools> Preferences > Database > Advanced > tnsnames directory. However I am missing the option to connect to tns directory and I am getting the option "Advanced Parameters" instead of just "Advanced". Does any body know where to find this option on SQL Developer 1.5.4? Sorry but it won't let me post an image.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks
Niall
I don't think you can. At my work, the DBAs years ago started keeping the current TNSNAMES.ORA on a network share, but we still had to maintain local versions for people using SQL Developer until relatively recently. To be honest, I don't remember which version the option was introduced to select a directory, but I would be quite confident it was later than the version you're on. As JaMaBing says, it's free and you don't need to install it, so why not upgrade anyway?
Sql Managment Studio stop working, sending me this message:
Package ‘Microsoft SQL Management Studio Package’ failed to load
I follow the solution from this page
http://blog.dotsmart.net/2012/01/04/solution-for-package-microsoft-sql-management-studio-package-failed-to-load/
I delete it HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100 key, just like the page says. Now, ssms.exe it's not starting!!! Not even an error message. The article says that, after restart the machine, the registry will be recreated, but I don't have the registry! What am I missing? Now I don't have error message nor Sql Managment Studio!
I don't know how to help you get back the sql server but for those that haven't deleted "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Sql Server\100\Tools" yet, just rename it to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Sql Server". You don't have to delete the whole thing. That should work but it doesn't fix it for some. If that is the case, check your .net permission setting s. You might have changed MY_COMPUTER_ZONE code group from full trust to everything. Change it back to full trust. Note that .net permission settings cannot be changed in version 4 and later versions.
I am getting the following error when my DTS package is scheduled:
Description: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER
I am not sure how to get my DTS packages to execute. They run fine when I manually execute them
I am running SQL Server 2005. DTS Packages were created using the Import/Export Wizard.
I changed authentication from SQL Server to Windows Auth and it did the trick. Not sure the technical reason why.

Its the issue with excel processing. Required to change default Runtime.
Navigate to “Debugging” option from left panel and from Right panel change Run64BitRuntime value to false. in project properties.
Check the link above for detailed steps.
I think the problem is with the login/password combination in any of the connections in the connection manager of the DTS, or some problem with the access to the server where the db is located.
If your server name is over 31 characters long (including hostname), then it will not fire.
When a package is scheduled, it normally runs under the context and persmissions of the SQL Server Agent.
Does the package make a connection to a drive letter or other mechanism which is not available to the unattended sqlserver agent account?
