SQL Server 2017 Express offline installer [duplicate] - sql-server

I am not able to install using the online installer. Can anyone point me to where I can find the offline installer? I tried searching with Google gut with no luck.
This is similar but not an offline installer.
How to install localdb separately?
This is the error I encounter repeatedly using the online installer
(probably due to the firewall):

Go to this page:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-editions-express
Click the download link to download and launch the 5 MB installer.
In the Installer, select "Download Media"
Direct URL: https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/0/7/907AD35F-9F9C-43A5-9789-52470555DB90/ENU/SqlLocalDB.msi

**UPD 2019-03: Current LocalDB version has a bug which can be fixed by installing the latest Cumulative Update (CU)

for those who seek 32 bit edition localDB for download, here it is:

SQL Server 2019 Developer Edition Unable to Install SQL Server (setup.exe)

I had an old version of SQL Server on my laptop which I uninstalled. Now I am trying to install SQL Server 2019 Developer edition but I get an error:
Error Code(Decimal): 2068052293 Error Description: Please install the Visual C++2017 Redistributable from https://aka.ms/vs/15/releaset..exe before running this installer.
I also installed Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable from the suggested path but still same error is happening.
Environment: HP/Pavilion/Windows 10 Pro/4g/500HDD/Corei5
PS: attaching screenshot for kind reference
Screenshot is missing.
Check for the following,
Is, VC++ 2017 is successfully installed? If yes, its worth doing a restart. Sometimes certain dll's should be registered in Windows environment, which will happen after a restart. Start SQL Server 2019 again after restarting.
Ensure both SQL Server 2019 and VC++ 2017 are installed with same user login. Hopefully you should be local admin for the login.
More suggestion can be provided based on screenshot error. Good luck!
This is my suggestion. It worked for me. Partition your local disk and install MSSQL in the new drive. That's all. Problem solved. This problem often happens with windows 11.

Internal Error Sql140DatabaseSchemaProvider is not valid while publishing website with SQL Server 2017 database to web server

I have a VPS web server with SQL Server 2017 Web edition (v14.0.3257.3) with the latest updates installed.
I use Visual Studio 2019 and SQL Server 2017 Express (v14.0.3257.3) with the latest updates installed to publish a website with a SQL Server database.
I get this error:
Internal Error. The database platform service with type Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.Sql140DatabaseSchemaProvider is not valid. You must make sure the service is loaded, or you must provide the full type name of a valid database platform service.
Two days I search for a solution on Google and Stackoverflow but I can't find anything to fix my problem.
On my development machine I installed the latest versions of SMSS and SSDT.
Who can help my in the right direction? Thanks.
I faced the exact same issue today. To resolve this, I installed DACFramwork.msi from this link.
And, instead of looking for SqlPackage.exe in the Program Files x86, I looked for the same inside C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\150\DAC\bin.
Not fully sure as to how it works, but it worked for me.

Install SQL Server Analysis Services w/ SQL Server 2019 Developer

I want to install an instance of SQL Sever Analysis Services locally for development use. The Documentation indicates that this can be done with the installation exe, but I can't find that option when I run the developer exe from the installation site.
This page indicates that it should be available.
I figured it out.
Download the installer
Select custom installation

DBComparer - Out of bounds when selecting database?

I recently got a new computer and installed all of the programs again that I use every day when developing. When I tried using DBComparer (that I've used for years with no problems) suddenly I keep getting this error (see picture) over and over when I try to select database.
I've read a couple of threads where the answers were only "uninstall" or "use another program".
Solutions I've tried so far:
Uninstall and install again.
Tried both x86 and x64.
Run as admin.
Switched authentication metod.
Double checked the authentication (logged in with the same on SSMS17).
Edit Uninstalled SSMS17 and installed SSMS16.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42299
Install SSMS2014. Do it by click download on Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 Express, then scroll down to the bottom and install SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. Then suddenly DBComparer started working again.
Installing SQL Server 2014 developer edition worked for me.
The DB Comparer 3.0 needs something that SQL Server 2014 or SSMS 2014 has. It would be nice to know which thing.

Error while importing bacpak in Sql Server 2012

I'm getting this error while importing bacpac file from windows azure
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------
Count not load schema model from package. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac)
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Internal Error. The internal target platform type SqlAzureDatabaseSchemaProvider
does not support schema file version '2.5'.
Most of the help online suggests upgrading SSDT, but I have the latest version of SSDT for VS2012 already installed
Update - with a number of new features including Query Store, it's now best to use the SQL Server Management Studio Preview to import. In some cases this will be necessary given updated features in the bacpac file. You can install this from its download page. On that download page choose "Download SQL Server Management Studio Preview" to install.
Original Answer
The best solution is to install SQL Server Management Studio 2014 from the Express download page. On that download page choose "MgmtStudio 32BIT\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe" installer when clicking the download link. SSMS 2014 contains a more recent DacFx version that supports version 2.5 and has full support for SQL Server 2005-2014 dbs, along with Azure DBs.
A few notes on DacFx / SqlPackage:
Installing the latest SSDT won't fix the issue since SSDT no longer installs Dac DLLs in a shared location. Instead it installs them under the Visual Studio install dir (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\SQLDB\DAC\120).
To update DacFx binaries used in SSMS to the latest version you must install the DacFramework.msi directly. You can download the latest version for 2014 here (this will update the location used by SSMS 2014), or if you have to use SSMS 2012 the last version compatible with that is found here.
SqlPackage.exe does support bacpacs. You need to use the Import/Export actionsfor bacpacs rather than the Extract/Publish actions used for dacpacs.
It will not directly restore. As you already install "SQL Server Data Tools", please check links.

It looks to me that something has recently changed Azure side to break even using SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. I had to install the Cumulative Update 5 onto SQL Server 2014 Management Studio to get this working again. Looks like Cumulative Update 6 is out so you could also try that.
I've updated my SQL Server 2012 with SP2 and then I could actually Import BACPAC files from Azure. You can try that.
I understand that this has been there for a while but those who have still this problem, this happens because of having an older version of Microsoft® SQL Server® Data-Tier Application Framework.
Installing the latest version solved the problem.
At the time I am writing this is the latest and I was using an older which was incompatible with the bacpac file I was trying to import.
