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.

  • 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!
    regards
    David

  • SQL Server 2008 Express Installation with command line options , FAILED.

    HI,
    I Have SQL Server 2005 Express instances on my PC. Now i am trying to install 2008 Express edition with Advance Services(Reporting.)
    I am trying to install the SQL Server 2008 Express with command line Options.
    /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

    Hi,
    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
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/1e8cfab3-4b99-4b4d-82bf-97799dabe34c/failure-when-installing-from-command-prompt-config-file?forum=sqlexpress
    If issue is not solved please post complete  log files from location

    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.

  • 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:

    SQL 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.

  • Cannot connect to SQL Server 2008 Express

    I install SQL Server 2008 Express on Windows 7 and make sure SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) service is running. Then I write a program via Visual C++ & ADO, and try to connect to the local SQL Service instance by using the following SQL connection string:
    “Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=(local);Integrated Security=SSPI;”
    But the connection fails. I try the same code on a computer with SQL Server 2008 Professional installed and it works without problems.
    Please advise. Thanks.

    Hi chcw,
    Are you got any error message/information while connect to SQL Server express instance faild via VC++ & ADO? If so, please post them for further investigation.
    Please also check the windows firewall. Firewall systems help prevent unauthorized access to computer resources. If a firewall is turned on but not correctly configured, attempts to connect to SQL Server might be blocked. For more information, please see:

    "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":

    If there are any more questions, please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • 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.

    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.

  • SQL Server 2008 Express R2 exceeds the storage capacity of Oracle XE

    Hello, here is a novelty: SQL Server 2008 Express R2 exceeds the storage capacity of Oracle XE, XE you still limited to 4GB of data from, the competition gets better and offers a bit more, XE remains the same, hopefully Oracle 11g XE exceeds storage and memory to SQL Server.

    Yes, I do good work is correct, I have not thought to migrate from Oracle XE to SQL Server Express because it could not work with the flexibility of PL / SQL and other Oracle features own, however, SQL Server 2008 R2 Express if takes the lead XE in storage, at which Oracle Corp. will match or exceed, offer more storage in response to competition and not only compensate for the limitation of 4GB with Excellency good features.

  • 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:

  • 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 Iftikhar

    That 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!
