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.

  • Upgrading from SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition [ENU] to SQL Server 2008 Express Edition OR HIGHER for Microsoft Security Compliance Manager

    I have downloaded the MS Security Compliance Manager, which is in two parts:  MS SQL Server 2008 Express Edition & the SCM. The install instructions state the the server needs to be install before the SCM.  So as the install continues I get
    an error message, which cancels the installation.  So, I am trying to install SQL 2008 EE separate from SCM.  My question is: 
    Can I upgrade from my current SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition [ENU]
    directly to SQL Server 2008 Express Edition (or higher)?

    So as the install continues I get an error message, which cancels the installation. 
    And which error message did you got?
    SQL Server Compact Edition is something different then SQL Server Express (or Standard) Edition, you can't upgrade it as you asked for,.

  • Create linked server between MS SQL Server 2008 standard edition to MS SQL Server 2008 express edition

    For the captioned issue, is it possible?  We have successfully created linked server between 2 MS SQL server 2008 standard edition, but failed for the standard and express edition.  Is there any trick to setup?  Thanks.

    Hello,
    SQL Server Management Studio Express Edition may not allow to create a linked server, but the workaround is to use the T-SQL. You can use sp_addlinkedserver and sp_addlinkedsrvlogin.
    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.

    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.
    Regards,

    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.
    The installation gets to the end and then gives a error with an installation failed message.
    Here is the installation summary - Installation Summary
    Here is the core DB Engine Install Log - DB Engine Install Log this log is copied from the location referenced in the summary document.

    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.

    Hello,
    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.
    Regards,
    Alberto Morillo

  • I Cant find Sql Server 2014 express edition after installing it. How do I start the program

    Hello,
               I have Installed Sql Server 2014 Express edition and downloaded the AdventureWorks 2014 database and Back up files.
    I cannot find an Icon for the Sql Server on my Desktop to start the Sql program. There is only an icon for the Server Installation Center.
    How do I start the Sql server. I tried opening the AdventureWorks Database but I cant open it.
    Thank you

    Thanks Shanky
    When I installed Sql I chose Windows Login. After Installing I logged into Sql server using windows account. Should I have chosen an Sql account instead.
    Hi,
    Its is Ok if you have chosen windows Login. But it should be part of local administrator. I assume you know how to check
    Is it not a security risk having to run Sql server as an administrator when using windows account or sql account.
    Yes it is but at this point where I guess only you would be using and to get around with problem which you are facing. its recommended to run SQL server service with least privileged domain account. If you wan to read more see
    this link
    How do I make sure the account with which SQL Server service is running has full permission on folder where adventure works mdf and ldf files are located.
    Please make a habit to search on net it is filled with lot of information.
    This link would help.
    Locate the folder on drive where AD mdf and ldf file reside. Right click on folder select properties and then select security tab. Click on add and then type account name and search and add it

  • SQL Server 2008 Express - timeout issues, "This SqlTransaction has completed; it is no longer usable."

    Good morning all!   I work for a small business that uses a robust Accounting/Inventory database called Traverse (or Open Systems) and is run on a desktop computer using SQL Server 2008 Express.
    We don't have an IT department, but I have a bit of knowledge, so I've been the go-to person to handle any tech support issues in our tiny 5 person office.  I've been reading up on SQL Server 2008 Express, but am completely stumped on this issue.
    Our database would work consistently well for quite a while - sometimes getting disconnected from the server and requiring a restart of either the SQL Server itself or the Traverse License Server.
    About two weeks ago, I noticed that nobody had ever run Windows Update on the desktop that we have SQL Server on, so I spent the better part of a day updating everything, hoping it would help some of the little buggy issues we've been having.   Unfortunately,
    by applying the updates, I think it may have altered settings - or updated appropriately and our functionality is diminished.
    Basically, we have 3 users connecting into the server to use the database at any time.  Sometimes we might not be accessing information constantly, and it appears we're getting a timeout message in the SQL Server Log - stating the system was awoken
    by user activity after around 25-30 minutes.  When this happens, the system is painfully slow and locks up, giving SQL Server Connection errors, or the "This SqlTransaction has completed; it is no longer usable." message.   I noticed that
    there is a connection timeout of 15 seconds set for our SQL Server, but it's greyed out in the dialog box I saw it in, and am not sure if that's even a culprit.
    I'd just like to get this working again to where we can continue to use the database throughout the day without waiting for it to seemingly load all of the data after "waking up".  It's to a point that one of my employees is coming into my
    office every 5 minutes complaining that she can't do anything in Traverse.  I'm about to lose my mind!  
    If anyone has any clue what could be the issue, I'd be so grateful for help.  If you need any logs, messages, etc.. please let me know which and I will share them.  Thank you again!

    This is known as the Zombie Check exception. It is generally caused by trying to commit a transaction twice or trying to roll back a committed transaction. It can also be caused by a connection closing before the transaction is complete. In you case I would
    suspect the latter.
    See this article on setting the default timeout.

  • 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:
