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.

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.
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.
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.
I have a student who installed SQL Server 2014 with tools, but the Management Studio part did not install. There is no SSMMS.EXE on the machine.
So I tried to reinstall it, and the Management Studio tools come up checked but grayed out, so the SQL Installer will not let me make any changes.
So I tried to uninstall SSMS from the control panel-->uninstall programs. However, it was not there.
So I uninstalled all SQL Server programs, then I killed all running instances, then I deleted all the MSSQLServer files under both program files and program files (x64). Then I updated Visual Studio 2010. Then I tried to reinstall SQL Server.
Again, the tools appeared, but they were checked and grayed out.
Soooo. SQL server thinks the SSMS tools are installed and thus will not let me reinstall them. However, they are not installed, so I cannot remove them.
Any idea how to convince SQL server that the tools are in fact absent?
Caution incomplete answer but several more things to try:
1) Could you provide the link to the download you're using - potentially SQL Server management studio (SSMS) is not included so thus can't be installed? From reading the FAQ's this looks to be the case (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh322942)
Try this link for installing http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062
2) Another thread covers a potentially related instance where express was also installed and caused a block to install SSMS.
(Can't install SQL Server 2008 R2 management tool (complete))
3) A long shot would be if anything is left over in the registry which is causing the block. See if there is still and entry in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server] and if so rename to "_bkp"
The last two suggests are long shots but you could try:
4) Try repairing the installation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc646006.aspx
5) Try installing as logged in as another user.
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.
