Unable to install microsoft sql server management studio 2008 express

When i install management studio 2008 express, throws an error stating that "SQL server 2008 Setup reqiures Microsoft .NET framework from http:.... and then rerun setup.
Can any body help me in this, and also i have installed .NET framework 3.5.
Thanks.

Hi sivak_tamilan,
According to your description, we need to verify if you install and enable the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, it is a prerequisite for SQL Server 2008 standalone instance.
In the setup, the SP-bit must be set to “1″, you can do as follows:
Open the registry editor and browse to the key,
Then locate the value SP, double-click it and change it from zero to”1”.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.5
There is a similar issue about this error, you can review the following article.
http://www.undermyhat.org/blog/2011/03/resolved-microsoft-sql-server-2008-setup-requires-microsoft-net-framework-3-5-sp1-to-be-installed/
In addition, if you install SQL Server on a computer that is running Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8, you must make sure that you fulfill the minimum requirements. For example, you must apply SQL Server 2008 Service Pack
3 or a later update.

Save As Dialog in Management Studio 2008 not opening

Hello All,
using sql 2008 client tools on windows 7 sp1
SSMS will not give me the Save As dialog when clicking file> Save .....sql as dialog?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
gv

I've suddenly started getting this issue today on SSMS 2008 with Win 7. I can do Save but as soon as I try Save As the whole thing just locks up. I get a flashing Save icon in the bottom right corner but no Save dialog and all I can do at
that point is close the whole thing down using Task Manager.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?

SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2 not showing Maintenance Plan

I do not have the Maintenance Plan listed under the Object Explorer. I am running SQL Server 2008 R2 (that is listed in Control Panel/Programs). When I tried to run the install to check that the management tool is configured I received the
"instance id" error (SQLManagementStudio_X64_ENU.EXE). After doing some reading online I found where some people used the SQLEXPADV_X64_ENU.exe install. This allowed me to see that the Management Tools were installed. I am not an
SQL expert and need to schedule a nightly backup of the database.

You need to have your permissions checked to ensure that you have appropriate permissions to see these. This link gives you the permissions required to see these and maintain them

Can't remote connect to Integration Services 2008 r2 with 2012 Management Studio

I am getting a Connect to Server error "Class not registered" followed by the trying to connect to 2005 information. It is not a named instance. I don't get the error when connecting with Management Studio 2008. Any ideas. Everything else is
all set up properly..

Can you try this workaround and see if it works?

SQL Server Mgt Studio 2008 installation problem - Key not valid for use in specified state

I'm setting up SQL Server Management Studio 2008 on my laptop. It installed fine, but failed to import a regsrver file exported from another machine. This appears to have been due to the fact that I exported the file with usernames and passwords, although I must admit that's pretty darned inconvenient if it can't be done.
Nevertheless, I exported the file again without usernames and passwords, but the new install now won't let me even see servers, let alone import any new ones.
When I start Studio, it gives me the "Key not valid for use in specified state" error. When I 'continue', I'm delivered to a screen with the 'registered servers' pane crippled. It has no contents at all and no ability to add, select, import, export. Nothing there.
How do I rectify this?
The installation is on Windows 7 Home Premium.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Don,
Since this issue was still not resolved even after you reinstall SQL Server 2008, I think that this issue is probably related to some corrupted files or registry keys. Please refer to the following steps to see if you can resolve this issue:
1. Close your SSMS;
2. Go to the folder %appdata%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\ and check if there is a Shell folder, if so, rename it to Shell-Copy;
3. Re-open your SSMS to see if the error persists.
Everytime SQL Server 2008 Management Studio starts, it will read information from this folder to retrieve and recover some data. If the information does not exists, it will recreate new ones. Please check if this helps.

To add to Don's comment, if you are using a different account (for example, an SA account) to run SQL Server management studio then make sure to change the user profile name when you browse to "%appdata%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\".
I know many of us developers have multiple accounts and I usually have my SA account have logon privileges on databases not my regular AD Account.
Other than that, the reason why this fails is because MS encrypted the regsrvr file on the source computer using the source computer's ID and is therefore unable to decrypt the file on the destination computer. To me that just doesn't make sense since the
whole idea of Export and import was to move this information across computers! And that's why this works when you import without username and passwords - no more encryption/decryption. Since we use integrated windows logon (trusted_connection=true) it works
great. For the few servers that we had SQL Logons I had to manually type them in and save. But all in all, pretty painless.

Permissions disappearing from tables and views in SQL Management Studio

As a CRM person, I sometimes have to update the database to cope with custom reports that I have written. Usually, I will
Go into SQL Server Management Studio 2008
Open the database
Locate either the table or the view
Right click on permissions
Add in the role or user that's needed
Grant them Select permissions
This allows the report in CRM to access the database and this works.
The problem I have is that after a certain amount of time, the user or role will disappear from the permissions meaning that the report will not run. Sometimes, this can be as soon as a couple of days or it can be months. It happens on views more than tables
and, whilst it's not too difficult to put the permissions back, it is annoying for the users.
I don't use SQL Server Management Studio very regularly, only to write a few queries and set up these permissions so I'm not sure if there's anything else in there that might be doing this. All suggestions would be very welcome.
Thanks.

Sounds like some process is removing/resetting permissions periodically
if you are using enterprise edition you could try to catch this using auditing

otherwise you would need some other custom tracing mechanism (SQL Trace, Extended Events, catching statements.. not fun)

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).
