I have installed SQL Server 2012 on my Windows 10 machine. Though it shows installed but there are no SQL Server services running or even showing up. Please help
Re-install SSMS from the start.
May be because of the network you're facing this problem.
I recently installed SQL Server 2016, amd as we know SQL Server and SQL Server Management Studio now are separate downloads, so I download SQL Server Management Studio 17.3 and installed it on my PC.
After installing, when opening it for first time, it worked perfectly, but after rebooting or reopening SSMS 17, I get this following error:
Please help me to get rid of this problem.
My problem is this, I want to Install Sql server 2014 in my Pc but i have a problem with it:
SQL Server Setup failure.
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
The SQL Server license agreement cannot be located for the selected edition, SQLBI. This could be a result of corrupted media or the edition being unsupported by the media.
Error code 0x858C001B.
My pc is new, I have not had any previous version of SQL server on this pc.. Do you have a Solution?
Thanks in advance.
My laptop has Windows 7, x64 bit, and was built this past December (2 months ago). It has Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 installed with SQL Server 2008 Express, but I had not used "Sql2008" before on this PC.
SQL Server Management Studio has been installed all that time, and I use it to connect to our company's instance of SQL Server.
Now, I need to do some development and debugging on a large stored procedure that is not returning the data we expect. I got a backup of the database companyDB.bak and moved that to my Win7x64 laptop in this folder: C:\Temp\companyDB.bak.
I open SQL Server Management Studio and select (local) and click "Connect":
After some time, I get error message:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)
I do some research and found this helpful link: SQL SERVER – FIX : ERROR : (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 – Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: )
His first step is to make sure SQL Server is running, which it seems to be:
Next, it says to make sure I am using TCP/IP Port 1433. When I looked, it seemed all of mine were BLANK, so I changed them so that all use Port 1433, then Stopped and Restarted the service:
OK, now I can get my local instance to start up.
When I attempted to restore the database using my "companyDB.bak" file, I get an error saying the database I am restoring from is newer than I am saving it to:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The database was backed up on a server running version 10.50.1600. That version is incompatible with this server, which is running version 10.00.2531. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a backup that is compatible with this server. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
So, I downloaded SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe from here: from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30438
During installation, I get this error saying that it can't install until **SQL Server 2005 Express Tools" are removed:
Now below, if you will notice, I did a search of the items installed under my computer, and the only thing there is with "2005" in the title is VC++ 2005 Redistributable:
So, I cancelled the installation and started it again, this time selecting the "Upgrade from SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008" option, but I got the same error message.
I do not seem to be able to continue.
Obviously, some of my installed applications need VC++ 2005 Redistributable, or I would not have installed it a few months ago.
How do I proceed?
[UPDATE]:
Following Davide Mauri's SQL Server 2008 R2 Installation and the Phantom of SQL Server 2005 Express blog, I searched for the term Sql2005SsmsExpressFacet in the log file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\yyyymmdd_hhmmss\Detail.txt".
It only pointed to a single registry entry (where his pointed at two): ""
Init rule target object: Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.SetupExtension.Sql2005SsmsExpressFacet
Sco: Attempting to create base registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, machine
Sco: Attempting to open registry subkey
Sco: Attempting to open registry subkey SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\ShellSEM
Rule 'Sql2005SsmsExpressFacet' detection result: SQL 2005 Ssms EE installed=True
Evaluating rule : Sql2005SsmsExpressFacet
Rule running on machine: 5000-C6E8-1
Rule evaluation done : Failed
Rule evaluation message: The SQL Server 2005 Express Tools are installed. To continue, remove the SQL Server 2005 Express Tools.
But, my registry does not even HAVE that directory:
[UPDATE 2]:
OK, so our IT guy has given me the full blown SQL Server 2008 R2 CD to install, but I am still hitting this same roadblock with it thinking that SQL Server 2005 Express tools are still installed - so I can not move forward.
To fix this, I did the following:
Uninstall all of the SQL Management Studio instances I had
reboot
Install SQL Server 2008 (not the Express version)
reboot
Tada!
I guess Microsoft likes selling their product, and it worked.
Yes I know i's old software...here's the story.
SQL Server 2005 installed and been happy for years. New client has a SQL Server 7 database I need to connect to remotely - SQL Server 2005 client tools won't connect to it. Got client's Sql Server 7 disk and installed - works fine to connect to client's database remotely - but now I can't start my local SQL Server 2005 database service - in SQL Server configuration manager the service is stopped - when I try and start it it just says it failed and to check the event log...
In the event log it reports:
The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service was successfully sent a start control.
immediately followed by
The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service entered the stopped state.
Under Application it reports:
17050 :
initerrlog: Could not open error log file 'C:\MSSQL7\log\ERRORLOG'. Operating system error = 5(Access is denied.)
Which to my inexperienced eyes tells me it's trying to do something with SQL Server 7 which implies the installation of SQL Server 7 has messed with my SQL Server 2005 installation...I suppose reinstalling SQL Server 2005 is the answer but it's Saturday and all CDs/DVDss at the office....suggestions anyone?
Thanks

Unfortunately, I think you are going to need to repair your installation. Server software is designed to handle installing newer versions (usually) in conjunction with older versions. However, older versions don't know how to install and not break newer versions (since they didn't exist when the installer was created). It looks like SQL 7 corrupted your SQL 2005 installation. Hopefully a repair should be all you need. If you have access to MSDN, you could download the ISOs. Otherwise, you may be stuck making an office run.
