Sql Server Express Error Visual Studio Isolated Shell Environment

Hi everybody, 
We are working with MSSQL 2014 Express edition in a Windows 8 machine, this version was working ok, but one day stopped working.
When we tried to run mssql manager tool we have the next error:
Microsoft visual Studio Isolated Shell Environment:
Unknown error 
Thanks

Hi element111,
According to your description, unfortunately there are little information for troubleshooting. So could you please help to post SQL Server error logs ? By default, the error logs can be found in : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log.
In addition, we need to verify if you can successfully log in SQL Server via local SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). If not, please post the full error message for analysis.
Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

  • SQL Server Express and Visual Studio 2013

    In February I installed Visual Studio 2013 Professional. Looking in the Control Panel at all my installed programs, I see that I have a bunch of SQL server-related programs loaded, from the 2013 install and also from installs of previous Visual Studio versions.
    I've never done a thing with SQL server express, and am completely clueless about using it. I've already wanted to take a crack at it but it always seemed too daunting, so I backed off. It seems, however, that over the years the integration of SQL Server Express
    with Visual Studio is getting more and more seamless. Here is a list of all the SQL Server-related programs on my computer, with the ones installed automatically from the Visual Studio 2013 install bolded so they'll stand out. What I'm wondering is if I have
    everything I need to use SQL Server Express with Visual Studio 2013:

  • Adding SQL Server Express to Visual Studio 2013 Pro on Windows 10 Preview

    I have installed VS 2013 Pro on Windows 10. I need to delevop unsing SQL Server Express. Do I download the full SQL Server 2012 Express Advanced (with full text search), or do I need only part of it? I was going to download the SQLEXPRADV_X64_ENU.exe. 
    Is this a good way to go?
    Do I also need to download any other .net frameworks?

  • SQL Server 2012 with Visual Studio 2013 with SSIS/Integration services project?

    I wanted to build an integration services project to import data from multiple sources using a vendor's API.
    I wish I could recall how I got to the point where I was able to build one and have it run successfully, but I had to install so many things that I honestly don't remember.
    However, I noticed my PC booting really slowly after that, and I saw that I had components of VS 2010, VS 2012 and VS 2013 installed, along with SQL Server 2008 and 2012.  So I uninstalled a bunch of stuff, hoping to get to where I had only the most
    current versions of all, that were compatible with my corporate environment.  So I was aiming for Visual Studio 2013 (Premium, I think) and SQL Server 2012.
    Took me 2 days.  Now I'm at the point where I think - and I'm here to learn if I'm correct - that I cannot get an oData Source component into my project and use VS 2013 IF I want to stick with Sql Server 2012.  Is that correct?  
    I get very confused when trying to determine how the acronyms relate:  SSIS, SSDT, SSDT-BI, etc.

    Hi Anonymous11847,
    SSDT: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2010, it contains Business Intelligence project templates for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services that support Visual Studio 2010. This can be installed when SQL Server is
    installed. It supports various SQL Server versions as follows:
    SSAS projects can target SQL Server 2012 or lower
    SSRS projects can target SQL Server 2012 or lower
    SSIS projects can target only SQL Server 2012
    SSDT-BI for VS 2012: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012, it contains Business Intelligence project templates for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services that support Visual Studio 2012.
    This needs to be separately downloaded and installed. It supports various SQL Server versions as follows:
    SSAS projects can target SQL Server 2012 or lower
    SSRS projects can target SQL Server 2012 or lower
    SSIS projects can target only SQL Server 2012
    SSDT-BI for VS 2013: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013, it contains Business Intelligence project templates for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services that support Visual Studio 2013.
    This needs to be separately downloaded and installed. It supports various SQL Server versions as follows:
    SSAS projects can target SQL Server 2014 or lower
    SSRS projects can target SQL Server 2014 or lower
    SSIS projects can target only SQL Server 2014
    So if the SQL Server version is SQL Server 2012, we should install SSDT or SSDT-BI for VS2012 to create SSIS project.

    Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Update

  • Connecting BI Web Server with SQL Server Express / Visual Studio Express for Report Development

    Hi,
    My company is using the Report Builder 3.0 to build the BI Reports ( I guess based on SQL Server 2008 R2). Our software vendor has provided us the web URL to access the BI Server. I want to generate the BI Reports with SQL Server Express or  Visual
    Studio Express instead of Report Builder 3.0. Need some guidance in this regard.
    regards, BI.Developer.

    Hi,
    Based on my research, if we want to open the report from report server to Business Intelligence Development Studio, we should download the report from report manager, then add this item in Business Intelligence Development Studio. For more details, please
    see the following steps:
    Type the URL in IE browser to access the repot manager.
    Browse to the RDL file folder or location.
    Hover over the report, and click the drop-down arrow near the RDL file.
    Click on download button, the download window will pop up now. Then save the rdl file.
    Click Manage option in the drop-down list, make a note of its Data Source Connection string.
    Create a Report Server Project in Business Intelligence Development Studio.
    Right-click the Reports folder to open the Add Existing Item dialog box, navigate to the location where you saved the .rdl file for the report, and then click Add.
    Right-click the Data Source to verify the connection string is correct.
    Besides, please make sure that software vendor had assigned ‘View reports’, ’Manage reports’, ‘Manage folder’ and ‘Manage data sources’ tasks for your account, so that you can download the report and view the data source.
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,

  • HELP - SQL Server Express Install Problems

    The SQL Server Express completed without error. However, when I tried to connect to the SQLEXPRESS instance I received one of those wonderful MS errors, "Specified file not found". WHAT FILE? (After all these years MS still can't figure out how
    to give an error msg. that provides some hint of what's wrong.)  Going on, I started the install console and selected the REPAIR option.  (It didn't ask what the problem was, it just ran.)  It did ask what instance needed repair.  I told
    it SQLSERVER.  It proceeded to repairing it.  My first hint that their repair function worked as well as their error handling was when I got the: That share name has already been used (or something like that) error (notice, MS didn't tell me what
    share name, or what aspect of the db they were talking about).  After pressing OK, the REPAIR function proceeded to run to completion.  When I reviewed the REPAIR report I found that three db processes all had the same SHARE NAME ALREADY USED error. 
    Actually, I thought that it was no big deal.  If this was a real REPAIR, it shouldn't matter that the name was already used because everything else should be the same.  (I know I'm nigh eve about the
    Intricacies of SQL server.)  After repairing my installation, I brought up the SQL Server Management Console again.  This time, it did not display SQLEXPRESS in the Connect field.  I selected the drop down list arrow to see if it was
    listed and the list was blank so I entered SQLEXPRESS in the connect field and clicked on the CONNECT button.  I got a NETWORK PATH NOT FOUND error.  So, before I really mess things up, I thought I should ask if anyone knows what I should do
    next.  (As an aside, I've pressed the MS Error Message HELP button numerous times abut various errors I've received over the years.  Not only are MS error messages useless, their Help Page has never ONCE been able to provide any information
    about the encountered error.  MS should spend some time and develop some truly helpful error messages as "File not found" and unknown error code 837289 are absolutely useless and especially since their HELP PAGE is never able to provide any
    information either.  I do wonder how I can get Unknown Error codes from people who wrote the code that raises the error.  Don't they document anything?) 

    I did read the requirements and made sure I met them all. The install package I used was: SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe.  You're correct.  I'm not familiar with SQL Server. 
    I downloaded SQL Server Express and Visual Studio Express to learn and explore because I wanted to learn about the new technology.
    After leaving my message, I did some more studying and playing with the system.  I managed to figure out that I had to turn on the data base service before I could connect with it.  I'm sorry, I don't understand how Microsoft could install a data
    base system without turning on its services.  Why would I want to install something and NOT use it?  The default should be ON and the setup manager should provide a choice to set it to OFF on the configuration page.
    My experience is rather dated.  I had to retire due to a disability in 2005. I couldn't control my arms and hands.  The doctor recently tried a medication again that I had had a severe negative reaction to.  He first administered steroids
    and started me on a small dose and titrated it up as I was able to handle it.  Now I have some days where I have pretty good control — I can print a little but can't write well and other days where I can't print, write, or feed myself. 
    I have performed many functions.  I have been an analyst, a programmer, a data base designer, and a college professor at three different colleges.  I've done extensive work in process automation and have even automated the management functions
    for a data base system that was used to schedule every aspect of all the aircraft, ranges, and weapons development processes on Eglin AFB.  I also wrote major pieces of the code used by the system and trouble shot and corrected functions written by other
    programmers.  The system supported over 300 users a day on two bases.  Unfortunately it was developed in Fortran on a VAX and with VB6 and MS Access using VBA, Queries, Tables and Forms on networked PCs.
    I plan to do a lot of reading.  I'll also be looking at the Microsoft sites for a sample DB and lessons to go with it.  I am a little frustrated with how information is organized on the web.  The other night I needed to find some information
    about something from Microsoft.  It took me almost two hours to ask my question in such a way that MS was able to provide what I wanted.  I kept asking essentially the same thing, but I had to use the exact phrase MS used on the page.  I know
    MS is big and they support multiple generations of each product.  They have an almost impossible task.  I just have to find the various product entry pages.
    Thanks for offering your help.

  • How do I load an SSIS package created in Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Integrated) onto SQL Server 2012 using SQL Management Studio 2012

    I am fairly new to this whole process of working with the Microsoft development environment.  Here is what I have to work with:
    an NT server running Microsoft SQL 2012  - Microsoft SQL Server Standard (64-bit)  11.0.2100.60
    and on my laptop (all freebie downloads):
    SQL Server Management Studio 2012            ver 11.0.2100.60
    Visual Studio 2012 Express  for Desktop Development and
    Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Integrated)
    I was able to create an SSIS package in
    2012 Shell (Integrated).  It takes a flat file and imports it into an SQL database table.  It runs successfully from within the
    2012 Shell (Integrated) envrionment.
    But I am having trouble figuring out how to set this up on the 2012 SQL Server.  I see that one of my colleagues created an Integration Services Catalog,
    and using SQL Management Studio I was able to create a folder under that called DigLic.  But when I go to the Projects subfolder of DigLic and attempt to import my SSIS package, I get an error message:
    "To launch the Integration Services Deployment wizard, one of the components: Integration Services, Management Tools - Basic or Business Intelligence Development Studio has to be installed by the SQL Server
    2012 Standard, Enterprise, Developer, or Evaluation Edition.  To install a component, run SQL Server Setup and Select the component name"
    I realize that Express Versions of Visual Studio lack the full feature set of a professional version.  But am I wrong in assuming that owning a server version of SQL Server 2012 gives us license to a professional
    version of SQL Management Studio 2012?  If so, how would I go about getting this software component installed?  And I am not clear if this is something that needs to be installed on our SQL Server or if I simply need a professional version of SSMS
    loaded on my laptop.
    I work for a company that is fairly fractured in its repsonsibilities, so I would need to know exactly what to ask for if I need to track down any licenses that I might need and if I need to have any specific software installed on our SQL server or on my
    laptop.
    All helpt would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Arthur,
    Thank you for your reply.  But at this point, one of my points of confusion is what software I have available to me.  I wish I had a useful central help desk to call up and just say, "Hey, load me up with all of the professional version(s) of Visual
    Studio.  But I do not know what we have license to.  And I kind of need to know what the options are, so that I can ask a specific question of our vast buracracy.
    For now, I have downloaded only free versions of Visual Studio client software.  Since my company does have servers running Microsoft SQL Server, I am going to assume that we have proper licensing for those servers.  But does that server license
    allow me to get any professional versions of the PC client software for the various Visual Studio(s) 2012?
    And if I get a professional version of Visual Studio 2012, does that do away with the three different flavors that I have right now?  I have 2012 versions of SQL Server Management Studio, Visual Studio Express, and Visual Studio Shell (Integrated).
    Your feedback is much appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • SQL Server Express 2008 Installation error. PLEASE HELP.

    Hey guys anyone know what I should do to install SQL Server Express 2008?
    Im running Vista Home Premium SP1 32bit
    These are folders i got on framework folder:
        *      v3.5
        *      v3.0
        *      v2.0.50727
        *      v1.1.4322
        *      v1.0.3705
    Installing SQL Server 2008 Express (run time only)
    And this is the error I get during the process
    "Attributes do not match. Present Attributes (Directory, Compressed), included attributes (0), excluded attributes (Archive, Compressed, Encrypted)."
    I have downloaded and installed all Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Express Ed (C++, C#, VB, WebDev) and all worked well
    I get this error during the "Feature Selection" setup process.
    I also noticed when I tried to use Windows Update, I saw Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1 (KB968369) suddenly available (I have updated windows and installed all important updates before installing Microsoft Visual Studio and SQL). Then I used Windows Update to install SQL Server 2008 SP1 and I still got this error:
    Error
    Code 84B40000 Unknown error....
    I also get this downloading error on SQL Server while installing all 4 Visual Studio Express Editions (C#, C++, VB, WebDev).
    "The following cannot be downloaded:"
    I've already tried the troubleshooting guide about BITS but the tool fix seems to only supports Windows XP Operating Systems.
    Please please please Help Me (^_^).. thanks to all.
    P.S.
    I think this might have some connections to why I get errors on a simple 'Hello World' Website.
    I was just trying to simply make a 'Hello World' Website .. Just THAT on my website.
    A simple Website for me to start. Just showing those text on the website. But when I tried to run (debug) the program. This error shows...
    'Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:5903.'
    I have Build the Web Site and there was no error. Since it was just simply 'Hello World' text.
    Im sure there's some problem but I'm completely stuck here.  I dunno if its connected to the problem above.
    Please help me solve this problem. Thank you so much.
    I appreciate everyone's help.

    In my case I had to uncheck "Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties"
    Right click on C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server
    Click Advanced on General Tab
    Uncheck "Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties"

  • Error Installing SQL Server Express 2008: '' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.

    I have tried installing SQL Server 2008 multiple times on my machine, and I always receive this error about 3/4 of the way through: '' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.
    I have tried installing both SQL Server Express 2008 with Tools and SQL Server Express 2008 with Advanced Services, and they both fail the same way. I am trying to do a new stand-alone installation.
    I'm running Windows XP Home Edition SP3.
    Looking into the error, some forums say I have to install it from THE Administrator account, and not an account with administrator permissions; it also cannot be in Safe Mode, because then the Windows Installer won't work. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to login to the Administrator account. I can go to the home login screen, do ctrl+alt+del twice, and attempt to login to the Administrator account, but I receive this error: Unable to Log You on because of an Account Restriction.
    Other forums say that in the Server Configuration section, all you have to do is provide the username and a strong password from an administrative account on the computer, and it doesn't have to be THE Administrator. Well, I did that, but for some reason it doesn't recognize my username and password, it says something like "The credentials you provided for the SQL Server Agent are invalid". BUT THOSE ARE THE CORRECT CREDENTIALS FOR MY ADMINISTRATIVE USER! So I'm forced to use one of the accounts without a password, like NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. That's the only way I can get past this step.
    Also, just FYI, on the next step, which is Database Engine Configuration, I am using Mixed Mode for the Security Mode. I AGAIN provide a password, and then add my current user (who IS an administrator on my machine!) to the SQL Server Administrators box.
    But yet, it fails every single time.
    This is pathetic and ridiculous. I must have tried to install this thing 15 times, that is not an exaggeration. I'm posting this on several other forums as well, maybe an MVP or Bill Gates himself can help me.
    I have one of the log files from a failed installation. If someone would like to see it, I will post it.

    Have a nice day
    PS : if you are talking about the Sql Server Agent Service, it is disabled for Sql Server Express. It is enabled only for the Workgroup/Standard/Dev and Entreprise Editions
    Sorry, but I've tried the suggestion in that link, and it hasn't helped me.
    For anyone wonder, the link is talking about the problem in Server Configuration where I enter my Windows user account and password (which is in the Administrative group), but it says the credentials are invalid.  The link suggests that you need to either enter your Windows account (which I did, and it wouldn't let me go to the next step), or to use one of the built in accounts (which I also tried, but it gave me the " '' is not a valid login" error during the installation).
    Any other ideas?

  • Multi-byte characters are garbled in SQL Server Business Intelligent Development Studio (Visual Studio) 2008

    Hi,
    I'm revising an existing report which was developed by my predecessor. Though it works fine in the production environment, when I open the .rdl file with SQL Server Business Intelligent Studio (Visual Studio) 2008 on my client
    PC, I find all the multi-byte characters are garbled. When I open it with the BIDS (the same version) on the server, it shows everything correctly.
    The fonts for the controls (labels) are Tahoma and it's originally only for alphabets, but multi-byte characters are supposed to be displayed in MSGOTHIC by Font Link as they are displayed correctly on the server.
    Could anyone advise me how to solve this issue? I know I can fix it by changing the fonts from Tahoma to MSGOTHIC for all the contrls, but I don't want to do it.
    Environment:
    My PC:Windows7 64bit /Visual Studio 9.0.30729.1 / .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
    Server:Windows Server 2003 R2 /Visual Studio 9.0.30729.1 / .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
    Garbled characters sample:
    FontLink - SystemLink
    Please let me know if you need any more information. I would appreciate your advice!

    Hi nino_miya,
    According to your description, when you display the report in client side, characters are garbled.
    In your scenario, please check if the Language is the same as the report on production server. Also please check if the data of Tahoma in registry on client PC is the same as server. If those two settings are the same, please specify font of the each
    control as MSGOTHIC manaually on client PC.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best regards,

  • MOF syntax error occurred while installing 2008 SQL server Express on Vista Ultimate

    I have tried cleaning, then installing 2008 SQL server Express on Vista Ultimate 3 times and spent hours on this. I have installed regular SQL server on 2003 server with no issues many times, but I have huge issues with 2008 SQL server Express. I keep getting the proceeding errors.
    Any ideas?

    Similar error (not SQL Express but Enterprise) on my network reveals the following issue (still prevalent after removing and re-adding the machine to the network):
    The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server host/machinename.domainname.local. The target name used was cifs/MACHINENAME. This indicates that the password used to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target server. Commonly, this is due to identically named machine accounts in the target realm (DOMAINNAME.LOCAL), and the client realm. Please contact your system administrator.
    ALSO: The session setup from the computer MACHINENAME failed to authenticate. The name(s) of the account(s) referenced in the security database is MACHINENAME$. The following error occurred: Access is denied.
    This default instance (Ent SQL 2008 on Ent Server 64 bit 2003 R2 SP2) failed with the MOF error using a service account to install SQL 2008.  Repair does not work.   "The SQL Server feature 'SQL_Engine_Core_Inst' is not in a supported state for repair, as it was never successfully configured. Only features from successful installations can be repaired. To continue, remove the specified SQL Server feature."
    I expected to have more luck with the information here:  http://mark.michaelis.net/Blog/CategoryView.aspx?category=.Net but wound up with result seen in my next post.
    Of note, tried the removal of leftover registry entries after a failed install as in link above, also removed sql folders prior to re-install. Error is the same and rather than list entire log here, there is a portion available below but as is evident, there is a permission error in the registry which verifies what mark michaelis has pointed out:
    "Sco: Compile operation for mof file \etcls.mof.transformed failed. Exit code 3" "Configuration action failed for feature SQL_Engine_Core_Inst during timing ConfigNonRC and scenario ConfigNonRC."

  • SQL Server Express with SS Management Studio. Which version is lightest/smallest?

    I’m looking to download the smallest/lightest version of SQL Server Express with SS Management Studio. 
    Which option should I choose?
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062
    Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

    Hello,
    What's the main propuse you use SQL Server Express edition? If you just use SQL Server in development. You can try to use SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB.
    LocalDB is a lightweight version of Express that has all its programmability features.SQL Server Express LocalDB runs in user mode, and you can install it more quickly with fewer prerequisites (a minimal set of files necessary to start the SQL Server Database
    Engine) and no configuration.

  • SQL Server Express 2014 on Win8.1: Could not find the Database Engine startup handle

    Hello,
    I tried to follow all the similarly titled posts in this forum, yet no solution seems to work, so I hope I can find some up-to-date suggestion here (most of the older posts refer to versions from 2008 to 2012...).
    I have installed Visual Studio 2013 (with the latest Update 2 RC) on a freshly installed development workstation with Win 8.1 with all its updates. Now I'd want to install SQL Server 2014 Express, but the setup keeps failing with the dreaded "Could
    not find the Database Engine startup handle" error (the log follows below).
    What I tried:
    1) download again and repair. Same error.
    2) completely uninstall by launching setup.exe /Action=uninstall (success), then rebooting the OS, then installing again. Same error. I did this twice, the second time I also manually removed any directory left out in C:\Program Files etc.
    When I launch the setup, I select all the components for installation in the package SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe (1.12 GB, last downloaded today -Apr 3, 2014-), and accept all the defaults including the proposed services accounts. There is no preexisting
    SQL Server instance, as expected.
    The setup takes its time, and finally fails with the error quoted above. I really do not want to reformat my HD and fully reconfigure my workstation, which took about 3 days... Could anyone suggest a solution to have SQL Server 2014 setup so I can start
    developing instead of wasting time in administering the system?
    Thanks to all! The log follows.

    Thank you, it worked! I suppose that it was really your nr.3 which made the difference. I changed NT Service\MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS to NT AUTHORITY\System for the Data service. I'll then change it again as suggested (any suggestion about a "standard"
    account to be used here?), even if this is a development workstation using SQL Server Express only as a local database for debugging, so security is not really a big concern.
    Thanks for the feedback.Ya I know No3 was real step but just added more info so as to rule out any other possibility.
    No not as such, you wont believe,quite few pf my clients I have worked for keep it with local system and they have not complained yet ,they are afraid to change account as few of them faced issue SQL Server not coming online due to logon failure( after changing
    startup account to some domain a and that was happening due to some AD policy.But if you have nay plans to move Critical database in production which would be act as Database to some Internet facing application please follow my suggestion
    of running SQL Server with Least privileged domain account.

  • SQL Server Express intermittent installation issue

    Have been seeing this error for several months trying to duplicate and troubleshoot. SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Express being installed on Windows 7 (x86 or x64) Professional, various processors, various execution environments (VM and non-VM). Yesterday duplicated
    on x86 Win7 Pro VM clean install (installed Win7 Pro, loaded all updates except .NET 4.5, and installed my application). App installer copies .NET 4, Visual Studio 2010 C++ run-time, and then SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2. Below is portion of detail.txt from

    Please note that this is NOT a question about fixing this one installation. This is an SQL Server Express install as part of my application install and MUST WORK FIRST TIME, EVERY TIME. Please direct me.
    Paul T.

    Here are the parameters used with the SQL Server Express installer EXE (both x86 and x64):
    /q /hideconsole /action=Install /features=SQL /instancename=SQLEXPRESS /enableranu=1 /sqlsvcaccount="NT Authority\Network Service" /AddCurrentUserAsSqlAdmin /skiprules=RebootRequiredCheck /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms
    I presume that TCP/IP is not enabled by default for Express installs. I THINK that named pipe should be enabled.
