I'm making ConfigurationFile.ini for auto installation.
But as you know, SQL Server 2016 installation has splitted SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio)
So, ConfigurationFile.ini cannot include SSMS installation
How can I included SSMS to whole auto installation procedure?
Nope, this cannot be done. But with SSMS itself, you can use /quite switch to perform a quite install. For example:
SSMS-Setup-ENU.exe /install /quite

I've installed TFS Express on my laptop. I already had SQL Server 2016 Express installed. When I run the TFS configuration wizard, I'm getting the following error (The version I am using cannot be upgraded - see screenshot):
According to this link, I need SQL Server 2012 to run the TFS Express 2015. That's what I did. I tried to configure again. However, when I get to the same step, the wizard has already selected the SQL Server 2016 instance (see screenshot).
And, there's no way I can tell the Wizard to use the 2012 instance I've just installed.
Anyway to change the targeted SQL Server Express instance?
Thanks for helping
First of all, check the SQL requirement to see whether you have installed the correct SQL edition.
Then you can use TFSConfig.exe command to change a new SQL Server Instance:
tfsconfig unattend /configure /type:basic /inputs:SqlInstance=server\sqlInstanceName
When installing TFS to a pre-installed SQL instance you need to use the "Advanced" wizard and select the named instance.
I have Installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (Ultimate) , and it installed all the SQL files,
yet I can't find the SQL Server Manager in the Start Menu, like the old version, so I can't start the services, , or there is an other way to run the services, so I can connect to the SQL Server?
In Run window, type "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mmc.exe" /32 C:\windows\SysWOW64\SQLServerManager12.msc. I did come across the same problem (Sql Server Configuration Manager is not in start menu) before, and I had to pin it to task bar.
SQL Sever 2012 service are installed via Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Express as VS 2012 does not install it unless you are using custom installer..
Once you install Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Express in your machine you can use SSMS and other tools to manage SQL services on your machine.
Use 'sqlserver.exe' to start SQL Server from the command line - MSDN reference here. Or you can download SQL Server Management studio as shown below - from this link.
Getting an error in SQL Server 2000 Enterprise manager - Please see in the attached screenshot!
Kindly help how to overcome the issue
You have to install the backward compatibility package. You can download it from here.The file is called SQLServer2005_BCxxx.msi
You're trying to access a SQL Server 2005 instance using SQL Server 2000's Enterprise Manager, which isn't possible.
You need to install a copy of SQL Server Management Studio - the 2008 R2Express version should be fine, or you can dig out the 2005 version
I just downloaded SQL Server 2005 Express edition. I was hoping it would come with a GUI to let me design my tables and such, but it doesn't. I'm working with ColdFusion/CF Builder here, so I don't really want one that integrates into Visual Studio. Also, it would be helpful if it has the option to connect to a remote database too. Suggestions?
SQL Server Management Studio Express should have been installed with your download. If not, you can get it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C243A5AE-4BD1-4E3D-94B8-5A0F62BF7796&displaylang=en
Consider using the latest version of SQL Server Express (2008), which can be found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/express/Database/
The path for SSMS in the 2008 edition is
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\Ssms.exe"
I would imagine that on 2005 the path will be the same but replace the 100 with 90. If it is not there then you can redownload it and add it to your instalation
When I try to install a new instance of SQL Server 2008 Express on a development machine with SQL 2005 Express already up and running, the install validation fails because the "SQL 2005 Express tools" are installed and I'm told to remove them.
What exactly does that mean?
After reading this article:
http://www.asql.biz/Articoli/SQLX08/Art1_5.aspx
I uninstalled the 2005 version of the SQL Management Studio but received the same error from the 2008 installer during my follow-up attempt.
Updates
1) Uninstalled the SQL 2005 Management Studio only. Received the same error from the 2008 install.
2) Removed all SQL 2005 common components. Received the same error from the 2008 install.
3) Installed the shared components from the SQL 2008 installation program. Received the same error from the 2008 install when trying to install the new SQL 2008 instance.
4) Uninstalled SQL 2008 components, rebooted, re-installed SQL 2005 Management Studio from installation media, rebooted, un-installed SQL 2005 Workstation Components from Control Panel, re-booted.
Installation of SQL 2008 is now proceeding as it should.
Seems likely that if I'd re-booted after update 2 above things would have gone more smoothly. :-(
Although you should have no problem running a 2005 instance of the database engine beside a 2008 instance, The tools are installed into a shared directory, so you can't have two versions of the tools installed. Fortunately, the 2008 tools are backwards-compatible. As we speak, I'm using SSMS 2008 and Profiler 2008 to manage my 2005 Express instances. Works great.
Before installing the 2008 tools, you need to remove any and all "shared" components from 2005. Try going to your Add/Remove programs control panel, find Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and click "Change." Then choose "Workstation Components" and remove everything there (this will not remove your database engine).
I believe the 2008 installer also has an option to upgrade shared components only. You might try that. Good luck!
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
I had to unistall the Workstation Components and SSMS Tools Pack (SSMS Tools Pack is an add-in for Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) including SSMS Express.)
Installation of SQL 2008 is now proceeding as it should.
The problem is that SQL 2008 MS has a bug where connecting to a remote server (say like a service provider collocation) it will always try to open the fist db in the list, and since the possibilities of been ur db the first on the list are really low, it will throw and error and fail to display the list of dbs... which using sql 2005 management studio it just works.
Wished I could use SQL 2008 MS, but looks like as far I connect to remote SQL 2005, SQL 2008 is out of the question on my dev machine :(
Just Remove the the Workstation Components from Add/Remove Programs - SQL Server 2005.
Removing Workstation Components, SQL Server 2008 installation goes well.
Simply remove the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 from control panel
N.B. These notes are for SQL Server Express 2008 R2 (so Microsoft still haven't made this any easier). I also realise that I complicated things by installing 32-bit SQL Server Express 2005 and 64-bit SQL Server Express 2008.
I followed the steps by Josh Hinman above. Uninstalling the SQL Server Express 2005 "Workstation Components" was not enough. I required an uninstall of the 2005 Management Studio as well.
I also tried the Upgrade route that Josh Hinman suggested by clicking on the 'Upgrade from SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008'. This route never gave me the option of installing the components side-by-side it just went straight through the process of upgrading from 2005 to 2008. It completed successfully - but hadn't actually done anything. Thankfully though it hadn't harmed any existing database instances. So be warned trying that route.
If you currently have Red Gate SQL Toolbelt, you will need to unistall that too before continuing. Somehow it adds a reference to the 2005 version of the SQL Management Studio.
I'am trying to install SQL SERVER developer 2008 R2 alongside SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS,
i went to program features, clicked on unistall SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS, and only checked, WORKSTATION COMPONENTS, it unistalled: support files, sql mngmt studio
After that installation of sql 2008 r2 developer went ok....
Hopes this helps somebody
I also had to remove the SMSS before it would get past that step.
