Is it possible for me to get a product key from my iso download?  Do I need to purchase the standard edition again?

Failt whist silently installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition sp1 on Vista Business sp2

Hi all,

Highly appreciated to any idea to solve this problem. 

I tried to create an software on .Net framework 3.5sp1 to silently install SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition on Vista Bussiness sp2.

The command was used:

SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe /qs /ACTION=Install /SkipRules=VSShellInstalledRule RebootRequiredCheck /HIDECONSOLE /FEATURES=SQL /INSTANCENAME=xxx /SECURITYMODE="SQL" /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /SAPWD="XXXXXXXXX" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS" /ENABLERANU=1 /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /TCPENABLED=1 /ERRORREPORTING=1

It installed SQL server but the server couldn't start. However, if I installed SQL server 2008 R2 Express Edt in normal mode, then everything is OK. Tried to test on 2 different machines running Vista Business sp2. The result is the same. 

Moreover, I did experiments on Windows XP sp3, then it's successful. This is what I don't understand.

In all cases, .Net Framework 3.5 sp1, Powershell etc. have been installed already. There is no Antivirus tools or Firewall in testing machines. These machines are fresh except for softwares mentioned.

I did some suggestions found such as granting permissions to installation account used in setup, manually starting Server, turning off User control or Firewall, but the errors seem there on Vista Business Sp2.

Consistency validation for SQL Server registry keys

$
0
0

I cannot get past this support rule when I attempt to install SQL Server 2008 RC0.  When I attempt to drill into the failure the popup states "The SQL Server registry keys from a prior installation cannot be modified.  To continue, see SQL Server Setup documentation about how to fix registry keys."

 

First off, why would the SQL Server 2008 RC0 install attempt to modify registry keys from a prior installation if I am attempting to install it side-by-side with a prior install of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition?  

 

Second, can anyone point me to the SQL Server Setup documentation that walks me through how to go about fixing these registry keys?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance for your help.

How do you deal with Sql Service Pack Upgrades....

$

Years ago we installed a sql server service pack on a non-clustered server and the results were usually fine. Now they want a fallback plan in case the service pack install fails. This is a good idea but I'm not sure what comprises a good fallback plan for sql. (Uninstall the service pack -- never done that before. We can start by backing up all databases but restoring them, including the system databases, will be time consuming. Maybe we should image the entire server to trim the restoration time.)

Any thoughts you have on this matter will be appreciated,

TIA,

edm2

P.S. I presume a sql service pack can possibly update\modify both system and user databases.

If it simplifies anything, let's assume we are talking about Sql Server 2008

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 fails as part of Visual Studio 2012 and as separate installtion

$

In some constellations, the installation of SQL Server 2012 fails.

This was described earlier in at least two threads:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/visualstudiogeneral/thread/53c0d5ae-3f2d-4f59-b79f-dad8ebe44530/#6620d7b0-1b7b-4659-976a-ab68e6b54949

and

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/0608c765-c077-4f6d-858c-57192f2ca978/

I could not see any solution described in those two threads, unfortunately.

I noticed this the first time when installing Visual Studio Express 2012, and then again when installing SQL Server 2012 later.

My operating system is Windows 7 (64 bit) Ultimate SP1 German, with all current updates

I tried this to fix the error in the Visual Studio Express 2012 installation:

- Re-install from http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/deu#products/visual-studio-express-products (using the online installer) while the old installation was still installed.

- Uninstall Visual Studio Express 2012, then re-install it.

- Use the "repair" option from the uninstaller of Visual Studio Express 2012.

- Uninstall Visual Studio Express 2012, then uninstall everything that had "SQL" and "2012" in its name, then re-install Visual Studio.

The problem persisted, always these packages were shown with error signs (see screenshot below):

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client Package failed.
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Command Line Utilities Package failed. 
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB Package failed.

The online installer re-downloaded all of the installation files when I re-installed, so it is unlikely that the same file(s) were corrupted each time, due to a download error. This is why I do not consider it likely that the cause of the problem is a corrupted file in the download.

When researching the error, I found this help request of November 2012, which still seems to be open for several people trying to install SQL Server 2012 and Visual Studio Express 2012:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/0608c765-c077-4f6d-858c-57192f2ca978/

These users report the same packages failing, when installing SQL Server or Visual Studio.

I uploaded my files to this Sky Drive location: http://sdrv.ms/14sXBmv

This directory contains:

- The installation log containing the error messages (the first one I can see is: "MUX:  ExecuteError: Package (sqlncli_amd64) failed: Error Message Id: 1723 ErrorMessage: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this installation to complete could not be run.")

- A screenshot of the online installer when it displays the error.

- The *.cab output of vscollect.

About a week after the failed Visual Studio 2012 installation I installed SQL Server 2012. Again parts of the installation failed with similar error messages. The file upload now also contains an rtf file with all three error messages that appeared during the installation.

Any advice how to solve the error would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

SQL Server 2012 Install Error 851A001A

Hi,

I am trying to isntall SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2, but the Database Engine Services failed to install, and I cannot start the MSSQLSERVER Service after installation.

Installation error:

Error installing SQL Server Database Engine Services Instance Features
Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed. Check the SQL Server error log for potential causes.
Error code: 0x851A001A

W3WP.EXE Crash:

I noticed that during installation w3wp.exe has crashed:

Application: w3wp.exe

MSSQL Service:

When I try to start the MSSQL service, I get the following errors in the event log:

- For target, "5B2DA06D-898A-43C8-9309-39BBBE93EBBD.package0.event_file", the parameter "filename" passed is invalid. Target parameter at index 0 is invalid
- Event session "system_health" failed to start. Refer to previous errors in the current session to identify the cause, and correct any associated problems.
- Script level upgrade for database 'master' failed because upgrade step 'u_tables.sql' encountered error 25641, state 0, severity 16. This is a serious error condition which might interfere with regular operation and the database will be taken offline. If the error happened during upgrade of the 'master' database, it will prevent the entire SQL Server instance from starting. Examine the previous errorlog entries for errors, take the appropriate corrective actions and re-start the database so that the script upgrade steps run to completion.
- Cannot recover the master database. SQL Server is unable to run. Restore master from a full backup, repair it, or rebuild it. For more information about how to rebuild the master database, see SQL Server Books Online.
