Install SSMS on SQL Server 2008 Express
Hi,I'm trying to install SSMS on my Windows 2008 Server running SQL Server 2008 Express.
I get the following error when I try to install it:
How do I get around this? I thought I had at least SP1 installed but don't know how to check.
Hello,
The easiest way is to install SSMS with SP3, you can get it here:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express Service Pack 3
Otherwise: It's just a warning, go on with Installation and apply SP1 (or better SP3) afterwards:

How to install SQL server 2008 express on Windows server 2008 R2 standard OS
Hi,
I have Windows server 2008 R2 Standard edition (64-bit) and trying to install SQL server 2008 express edition since I do not have SQL server 2008. When I install it I am unable to see Management Studio so I am trying to install management studio as well
but still I am facing issue. Please let me know whether SQL server 2008 express edition is compatible with Windows server 2008 R2 Standard. If not then pls let me know the proper steps to install it.
RegdsHello,
Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2008 is required to be compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2.
Please download QL Server 2008 Express with SP1 included from the following link:

Hope this helps.

SQL Server 2008 Express edition install issue.
Ok, i've been looking around forums for a while now and have not found a post similar to this one or one that offers a solution; so here it goes.
I'm trying to install management studio and in the web platform installer i keep getting this error:
"You must install visual C++ 2008 SP1 before you can install SQL server 2008 Express with tools"
I managed to get the install to "work", but it didn't actually install the studio app. So heres my questions:
Firstly...why? i've installed this before and not had any issues at all, so why the sudden need for C++?
Secondly, does anyone have any insight into my problem and how i cant actually install it?
The only real difference between this install and previous installs is that i'm not running it on vista home premium 64-bit (previously 32-bit).
I tried installing visual C++ express, but that didn't work.
Thank you in advance and for giving up your time to read this.Hi,
Based on the error message, your computer has Visual C++ 2008 before you install SQL Server 2008. However, Visual Studio 2008 does not support having Visual Studio 2008 without a service pack. The error message indicates you to install Service Pack 1 for Visual C++. Please download Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 from the following link and install it:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=FBEE1648-7106-44A7-9649-6D9F6D58056E&displaylang=en
For more information, please refer to "Actions that are required before you install SQL Server 2008 on a computer that has Visual Studio 2008 or the prerelease version of SQL Server 2008 installed":
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956139
If there are any more questions, please let me know.
Thanks.

S S ManneHi 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.

0x84B40000Hi,
You can install SQL server express 2008 on machine having SQL Server 2008 r2 is supported. From what you posted I guess SQL server 2008 r2 is default instance so you need to install SQL server 2008 express SP1 as named instance. Your error matches problem
mentioned in below thread

I am trying to install SQL server 2008 Express edition on my desktop (OS: Win 7 HP - 64 bit). I have been unable to do so on all of my 3 attempts.

Any and all help is welcome. Let me know if I can provide any additional information.
I already have MySQL 5.5 installed on the same machine - would that be a problem and conflict with the MS SQL installation.
Abhi OommenHello,
Please try to uninstall all SQL Server components using Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.
If you have already uninstalled SQL Server before trying to reinstall, please perform the following steps to manually uninstall SQL Server:
1. Uninstall all SQL Server components you can using Control Panel -> Programs and Features
2. Backup the registry.
3. Delete the following keys in regedit:
--HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
--HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and delete all the sub-keys referencing SQL Server.
5. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and delete all the keys referencing SQL Server.
6. Rename all the SQL Server folders in the computer like
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server and subfolders.
Once you have uninstalled, please try to reinstall again.
Hope this helps.

Sql server 2008 express on Lan
Hello Experts,
i installed sql server 2008 express on my clients machine. Two machines are connected to this server machine on lan.
i have made a connection string with sa with password. all machines access sql server database with that string.
problem is when on all machines, work is on progress clients machines most of the times hangs. Is any configuration required on server machin? or separate machines should have separate user id and password. when a single machine is used whether it is server
or client then no problem
Please help me.
Regards.
Tariq IftikharThat is odd, two clients connect to the server and server hangs? Remember SQL Express allows you to use 1 CPU so if you run "heavy" queries it may block and cause performance degradation

Windows Installer - SQL Server 2008 Express Errors
I am working with an application that was developed for an XP machine. One of my peers took the old Windows application and using Visual Studio 2010 upgraded the application to work on a Windows 7 machine. We are creating the installer (.exe
and .msi) files within Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, but we are having different issues on different machines that we try to run the setup.exe file on.
On our company computers with Windows 7, the setup.exe file runs and works properly.
On our customers computer with Windows 7, received the following error: "an error occurred attempting to install SQL Server 2008 Express Service Pack 1."
On non-company/non-customer machines, we tried two Windows 7 machines. One machine had no issues and everything installed perfectly and the other received this error: "Component SQL Server 2008 Express has failed to install."
User pressed Yes to reboot the computer.
After the reboot, the setup.exe file was run and there were no more errors. The application was installed properly.
Within the Installer we have four boxes checked under Properties - Prerequisites:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (x86 and x64)
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile (x86 and x64)
SQL Server 2008 Express
Windows Installer 3.1
If anyone can help with why the installer is causing issues on some computers and not on others as well as why the issues by computer are different that would be very helpful!
Thank you!Hi,
Please refer to this article for troubleshooting installation of

SQL Server 2008 Express -- Process exited with code -2068643839
When installing SQL Server 2008 Express, I continue to get the following info in the install log. I notice that I only get this issue with 64-bit PC's (win 7 & win 8.1). Ideas?
Thanks.

Cannot restart SQL Server Agent - SQL Server 2008 Express
Hi
I don't know if this affected it but we had a auto notification to change our work passwords the other day, I then couldn't get my local SQL express to logon using domain login.
I then went into SQL Server Config Mgr. and both SQL Server Express and SQL Server Agent were stopped. I tried to restart but no luck, so went into properties of SQL Server Express and remapped my domain name (domain\name) and new password and it started,
but agent will not start.I also checked log paths in registry match my log paths in system and went to:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL
Where a few of the folders I didn't have permission but it asked me to confirm I want permission when I dbl clicked on them.
When I try to start agent I get error:
the request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion
Whatever that means I don't really know.
Here is contents of SQL Agent file from log:

AndrewSQL Server Express and SQL Server Agent were stopped
Hello Andrew,
With SQL Server 2008 Express the "SQL Server Agent" is installed as well, but it's not a supported Feature of the Express Edition, therefore you can't start / use the Agent.
See
Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2008 => "Management Tools" => SQL Server Agent

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express for SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise 4.0
Hi Expert,
I'm going to install SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise 4.0 on my virtualized system (vmware) composed as: windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition R2 + Tomcat. I have some doubts related to the DB version to choose.
Due to the fact that Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express is bundled with SAP BOE 4.0 I want to use this DB.
However, I saw in the Microsoft Portal that Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express (http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/product-info/compare.aspx) that:
Number of CPUs 1
Maximum memory utilized 1 GB
Maximum database size 10 GB
These my doubts:
1) Could these characteristics generate performance issues for a production environment?
2) Which is a typical DB size for a production enviroment? could be greater then 10 GB?
3) Can I use Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express in a virtualized system (vmware)?
Thanks in advance for collabortion
regards
gio'Hi Gio
Remember that the BOE system database (or repository) only has a few tables in it, with really one main table that stores a reference to each folder, report, user, group, server, etc. on the system. So the table and the database itself do not grow very large. In the past year, we have done over 70 SAP BusinessObjects projects and I can't recall one where the database size would even approach 5GB in total, let alone 10GB.
The reason for this is that the database only stores a reference to the physical objects and content within BOE-- the actual reports, universes, etc. are stored on the file system within the Input and Output file repository folders.
And the memory constraints are not really an issue either with BOE-- the database itself does not come under much strain during the day-to-day operation of the server. If you believe that the memory may be an issue, you can always start with SQL Server 2008 Express and then using the new tools in the 4.0 CMC to monitor the memory usage on the server. If you need to, you can move the system database to another SQL Server edition, or alternately move the database to another one of the supported platforms, including Oracle, DB2, etc.
Hope this helps!

Installation of SQL Server 2008 express edition
I have successfully downloaded MS SQL Server 2008 Express. At the end of down loading I got message "Installation Successful". I may have mis-read the writing - it could be down-loading successful. The files are there in all program folder.
I am not sure if I have done the installation. I do not see any exe file. I cannot use the server.
How can I get to use it? How can I get connected to the Server?

Hello,
Verify you have installed SQL Server Express successfully using the following report:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/petersad/archive/2009/11/13/sql-server-2008-discovery-report.aspx
If you did not install it then use the following post:
http://www.sqlservergenius.com/sql-server-2008-express-windows-server-2003-2008-howto/
Once you finish the installation, you need to enable TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocols to be able to get connected to SQL Server. Use the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191294(v=sql.100).aspx
Now download SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) from the following link to be able to connect and manage the SQL Server Express you have installed.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7593
Use “(local)\SQLEXPRESS” or computername\SQLEXPRESS as name of the server when connecting using
SSMSE.
Hope this helps.

/qs /Action=Install /Hideconsole /SecurityMode=SQL /Features=SQL,Tools,RS /InstanceName=XXXXXX /SAPWD="StrongPassword" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="Builtin\Administrators" /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /RSSVCACCOUNT="NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /TCPENABLED=1 /NPENABLED=1
But installation exits. It says the previous version 2005 tool are already exists, Remove them to Continue the 2008 Server Installation.
please suggest me how to avoid that check and continue installation by replacing the older tool with 2008 automatically.
regards
Pratap M:)Have you found any error in event logs?
In my case even after uninstalling all 2005 related components it didn't worked. I had to resort to a brute force way and
remove following registry keys
32 Bit OS: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90
64 Bit OS: HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90
