Error installing sql server 2008 management studio express

Hello,
I need to install sql server 2008 management studio express on a sql server 2k8 R2 instance.
First of all, I've downloaded this one from this link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7593 (for 32 bits).
Once I've the downloaded file I run this file and choose the first option (New sql server stand-alone...) in the installation part. Finally, in the installation type I choose the option 'Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server 2008' with the instance
selected. I push Next and then I get the following error: 'The instance ID is required but it is missing'.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot.
Regards.

Hello,
What’s the edition of the SQL Server 2008 R2? If you had installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition, you should install “SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools” edition or “SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services” edition.
Please refer to the following article for more information:

  • SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express

    So I have an employee that works on Domain A, however she needs to log into SSMS 2008 Express under Domain B. When she launches SSMS Express it will not let her change the windows login credentials at all. My boss told me that the solution below was suggested
    to him by MS to resolve the issue.
    runas
    /netonly
    /user:domain\username
    "C:\Progr...\IDE\Ssms.exe"
    So I did this and still same issue, the ability to change the credentials are still grayed out.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    Hi,
    It is by design that User name and Password area is grayed out when using Windows Authentication. SQL Server Management Studio fills in the user with the currently logged on Windows account for Windows authentication. The end-user is not allowed to change
    or input a different user.
    As suggested, you can launch SSMS with runas command with the "/netonly" switch to log in using remote credentials on a domain that you’re not currently a member of.
    Check out the following link for more information:

  • Silent SQL Server 2008 Management Studio install on Win7

    Hi,
    Is there a way to suppress Compatibility warning box while silently installing SQL Server 2008 Management Studio install on Win7?
    Thanks,
    H

    Hi Kugler,
    Even I was facing the same issue. It is because you may pending reboots on the target machine.
    I also used the cmdline as below:
    <PATH of EXE> /Q /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=install /FEATURES=SSMS,ADV_SSMS /HIDECONSOLE
    Before installation it is better to restart the target machine and start with the installation.

    Hello,
    Please try deleting the following sub folder to see if this will work:
      C:\users\(my profile)\AppData\Local\Microsoft_Corporation
    If you can't see AppData folder, you could use following steps to show hidden files:
     1. Open an explorer window, hit "ALT-T" choose Folder Options then go to the view tab.
     2. Turn on Show hidden files, folders or drives and
    disable Hide protected Operating System files (recommended).

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio Express silent installation very slow

    Iam doing silent installations often on several Systems.
    I install the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio Express with this command:
    "SQLManagementStudio_x64_DEU.exe /ACTION=INSTALL /QUIET /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms="True" /FEATURES=CONN,BC,SSMS /indicateprogress"
    The installation will take almost an hour to finish. 
    I never get error messages or so. The installation afterwards is fine.
    Is there a way to speed up the installation process?
    Thanks!

    Hi Dennis,
    When installing SQL Server Management Studio, it is normal for us taking an hour to finish the installation.
     Personally, if you want to speed up the installation process, I recommend improve your hardware device on your computer, such as CPU, RAM, hard disk and so on.
    Or you can submit an submit the requirement at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/. 
    If the requirement mentioned by customers for many times, the product team may consider to add or improve this requirement in the future SQL Server version. Thanks for your understanding.
    Thanks,

  • SQL Server 2012 Management Studio for Windows XP

    Hi
    I want to install SQL Server Management Studio 2012 on Windows XP. Is there anyway to install or is there any client we can use?
    It is kind of limitation as we can't update OS on our machines.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    SQL server 2012 even SQL client tools  is not supported on Windows XP. But you can install SQL server 2012 management studio on 2012 I guess it would not stop you from istalling but you would run risk of running unsupported feature.
    Download below
    from link
    ENU\x64\SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe assuming you have 64 bit version

  • Error Installing SQL Server Express 2008: '' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.

    I have tried installing SQL Server 2008 multiple times on my machine, and I always receive this error about 3/4 of the way through: '' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.
    I have tried installing both SQL Server Express 2008 with Tools and SQL Server Express 2008 with Advanced Services, and they both fail the same way. I am trying to do a new stand-alone installation.
    I'm running Windows XP Home Edition SP3.
    Looking into the error, some forums say I have to install it from THE Administrator account, and not an account with administrator permissions; it also cannot be in Safe Mode, because then the Windows Installer won't work. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to login to the Administrator account. I can go to the home login screen, do ctrl+alt+del twice, and attempt to login to the Administrator account, but I receive this error: Unable to Log You on because of an Account Restriction.
    Other forums say that in the Server Configuration section, all you have to do is provide the username and a strong password from an administrative account on the computer, and it doesn't have to be THE Administrator. Well, I did that, but for some reason it doesn't recognize my username and password, it says something like "The credentials you provided for the SQL Server Agent are invalid". BUT THOSE ARE THE CORRECT CREDENTIALS FOR MY ADMINISTRATIVE USER! So I'm forced to use one of the accounts without a password, like NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. That's the only way I can get past this step.
    Also, just FYI, on the next step, which is Database Engine Configuration, I am using Mixed Mode for the Security Mode. I AGAIN provide a password, and then add my current user (who IS an administrator on my machine!) to the SQL Server Administrators box.
    But yet, it fails every single time.
    This is pathetic and ridiculous. I must have tried to install this thing 15 times, that is not an exaggeration. I'm posting this on several other forums as well, maybe an MVP or Bill Gates himself can help me.
    I have one of the log files from a failed installation. If someone would like to see it, I will post it.

    Have a nice day
    PS : if you are talking about the Sql Server Agent Service, it is disabled for Sql Server Express. It is enabled only for the Workgroup/Standard/Dev and Entreprise Editions
    Sorry, but I've tried the suggestion in that link, and it hasn't helped me.
    For anyone wonder, the link is talking about the problem in Server Configuration where I enter my Windows user account and password (which is in the Administrative group), but it says the credentials are invalid.  The link suggests that you need to either enter your Windows account (which I did, and it wouldn't let me go to the next step), or to use one of the built in accounts (which I also tried, but it gave me the " '' is not a valid login" error during the installation).
    Any other ideas?

    ************** JIT Debugging **************
    To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
    application or computer (machine.config) must have the
    jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
    The application must also be compiled with debugging
    enabled.
    For example:
    <configuration>
        <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
    </configuration>
    When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
    will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
    rather than be handled by this dialog box.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to proceed?  Installing will not complete.

    Hi Balmukund!
    Thanks for your help.  I did rename both folders to a generic name (rename_folder_1 & rename_folder_2) and the install failed again.  Did I rename the folders in a correct manner?  Below is a copy of the user.config file referenced in
    your post above.  Any additional direction would be very helpful.
    Thanks!

    Hi Manne,
    As your description, you come across an error when trying to install SQL Server 2008 express Service Pack 1 on windows XP Service Pack 3 machine. From your error log, I get the error(unable to read registry value). As my analysis, the issue could be due
    to that your account doesn't have access to registry. Below are the recommendations for troubleshooting the issue.
    1. Make sure that you log in as an administrator of the machine.
    2. Please follow the steps below to make sure that you have granted the right permission to registry.
    a. Located HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server in registry.
    b. Right click and go to Permission, then you could see user accounts or groups. If your user account is not in the list, you could click Add to add your account there.
    c. Select your account and Click on Advance.
    d. Check on both check box ('Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent'.
    and 'Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object'), click OK.
    e. Click OK again.

  • Hi I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 R2 Express edition, I am getting error like "unhandled exception has occurred in your application"

    In that system Microsoft Framework 4.o and 3.5.1 is installed even then i am getting the error then i uninstalled and again installed framework same error occurring.

    Hi Chandra,
    As other post, please help to post the summary and detail logs for analysis.
    Based on my knowledge, the error “unhandled exception has occurred in your application” always happens along with the following message when installing SQL Server 2008 R2:
    “An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for userSettings/Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.LandingPage.Properties.Settings: Could not load file or assembly 'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'
    or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. “
    If you encounter such issue, please perform the following steps to solve it.
    1.Go to your app data directory by going to start > run > %appdata% .
    2.This will by default take you to the "roaming" folder, go up one directory and move into the "Local" folder.
    3. Go to the "Microsoft_Corporation" folder.
    4. Delete the relevant folders from the "Microsoft_Corporation" folder.
    For more details, please review the following blog.
