Need a guideline to install the appropriate version of SQL Server on Windows 8

Hi Everybody, I just started to learn database programming with C#, but i am facing problems over problems. Actually I'm running Windows 8 Pro, x64 Architecture. I tried installing SQL Server 2008 Express and SQL Server Management Studio Express, it do
get installed but was not working when i linked it to c# code. Anybody please guide me about how to install SQL Server and make it running on Windows 8 Pro... Thanks in anticipation
Regards,
Yasir Lateef 

Hi Yasir,
Firstly, besides Saeid’s post, you can also install
SQL Server 2008 SP3 Express ,
SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Express or
SQL Server 2012 Express on Windows 8. For more details, please review this article:
How to use SQL Server in Windows and Windows Server environments.
Secondly, about how to install SQL Server on Windows 8, you can follow the steps in this similar blog:
How to Install SQL Server 2012 on Windows 8.1.
Thirdly, from your description, SQL Server 2008 doesn’t work on your system, please help to post more details for analysis. We need to know that if you can successfully connect to SQL Server 2008 using SQL Server Management Studio and the error message you
get.
In addition, if you connect to remote SQL Server Express, please complete these steps described in this similar
blog to configure SQL Server Express to allow remote connections.
Thanks,

    I tried to install the latest version of iTunes on my Windows PC, but the installation failed and I have the error message "Runtime Error R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly."  When I then tried to run iTunes (assuming that, since the new install failed, my older version was still OK) I got the message "iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows error 1114".  I tried then uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it fresh, but encountered the same problems.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    When I try to install the latest version of ITunes on My windows computer, it doesn't install.  It says log in as administrator (which I am).  Any fixes?

    What didn't work?  Removing everything or just the older version of Bonjour?  Did you follow the instructions in the link I provided above to walk you through the process?
    Perhaps it would be a better idea to post this in the iTunes forums, since it is an issue with iTunes and your iPod Shuffle.

  • What is the latest version of SQL Server which ColdFusion 7 supports?

    What is the latest version of SQL Server which ColdFusion 7 supports? For example can Cold Fusion 7 connect to SQL Server 2012 or 2008 without any problem? Thanks

    First things first, I would advise you to apply the upgrades, if you haven't yet done so. I remember Coldfusion MX7 to be quite buggy. We could not wait to apply the upgrades and hotfixes. Version MX7.0.2 turned out to be the lasting upgrade. We used MySQL, however, not SQL Server.
    You can get the information you want from Adobe Support. But you can think it through yourself. The way I think about it is as follows.
    Coldfusion is an application that includes database functionality. I may therefore assume that Coldusion would be backwardly compatible in its support of database server versions. In other words, a new version of Coldfusion, say 9 or 10, would work with an older database server like SQL Server 2005.
    However, I would not expect a previous version of Coldfusion, say MX7, to be compatible with newer database server versions like SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2012. Even if someone told me they were compatible, I would still expect such a set-up to be an accident waiting to happen.

  • I cannot install the latest version of iTunes on laptop (windows xp). I receive a windows installer error message. Not having any issues installing any other software.  Was having no issue syncing w iPhone. Made the mistake of uninstalling prior version.

    I cannot install the latest version of iTunes on my laptop (windows xp). I receive a windows installer error. Am not having any problem installing other software or syncing w iPhone.  Made the mistake today of uninstalling my older version and not cannot install new.  Need new version in order to sync w new iPad.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

  • How do I install the jdbc driver for sql server 2005, in sql developer 4.0 ?

    Hallo together
    I need access to tables in a MS SQL Server 2005 database.
    One possibility is the JDBC driver.
    How do i install this driver ?
    Thank you very much for your postings.

    Hi,
      This is from the documentation -
    Database: Third Party JDBC Drivers
    The Third Party JDBC Drivers pane specifies drivers to be used for connections to third-party (non-Oracle) databases, such as IBM DB2, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or Sybase Adaptive Server. (You do not need to add a driver for connections to Microsoft Access databases.) To add a driver, click Add Entry and select the path for the driver:
    For Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server: jtds-1.2.jar, which is included in the jtds-1.2-dist.zip download
    To find a specific third-party JDBC driver, see the appropriate website (for example, http://www.mysql.com for the MySQL Connector/J JDBC driver for MySQL, http://jtds.sourceforge.net/ for the jTDS driver for Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase Adaptive Server, or search at http://www.teradata.com/ for the JDBC driver for Teradata). For MySQL, use the MySQL 5.0 driver, not 5.1 or later, with SQL Developer release 1.5.
    You must specify a third-party JDBC driver or install a driver using the Check for Updates feature before you can create a database connection to a third-party database of that associated type. (See the tabs for creating connections to third-party databases in the Create/Edit/Select Database Connection dialog box.)
    Alternative:
    As an alternative to using this preference, you can click Help, then Check for Updates to install the JTDS JDBC Driver for Microsoft SQL Server and the MySQL JDBE Driver as extensions.
    Regards,
    Mike

  • I have residual links from an "unauthorized" installation that I cannot get rid of. I uninstalled that copy and re-installed the appropriate version. HELP

    I am getting links to other sites, specifically adobe, that want me to install a certain version, yet Firefox doesn't recognize it. I have tried to delete that link, which comes up on my Spymaster scan and malware scans. I reset my computer with Firefox on the "official" version, and am still getting the same problem. Please help.

    hello, your system is probably infected by malware/adware. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove FindLyrics 1.111 and Sing Along 1.111 (if it's not possible to delete them, keep them disabled). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • SQL Server Error when tryingt to install the CMS DB on SQL Server 2005 x64

    I am trying to install BOEXI R3 on w2k3 64-bit OS in a SQL Server 2005 x64 database, I am currently at the installation step where i Specify an exisiting CMS database. I created a System DSN and tested it, and it was successful. So when I got to the screen where I select my datasource I had to check use trusted connection because the datasource would not show up when Use DSN created by WOW64 option was checked. From there I could select the database I created.

    How do I get past this?

    The workaround was, I installed the SQL Server Client tools and created a System DataSource  and then had to create a user DataSource  (it is a quirk in the installer I guess) to get past this point in the installation. Now I have an even bigger problem. Everything but the CMS installed and the installer hung at the "Configuring the CMS" part. The installation finished but when I tried to log into the Central managment console I got this error:
    Error: Server GSD-RRPT-RDC:6400 not found or server may be down (FWM 01003) null
    I looked at the forums for the cause of this error and came to the conclusion that BOEXI does not support an installation on SQL Server 2005 when using Integrated Authentication to the SQL Server. See the engineers here disabled SQL Authentication for the SQL Server and  will not allow it.
    Is this true? Or is there a workaround to install the CMS using Integrated Authentication in the DataSource ?
    Thanks.
