I have installed an application which creates SQL Server 2008 instance for its usage. The software and server and not communicating. Actually software is unable to connect to instance.
In the investigation I have found that the SQL Server instance created by software is stopped. I tried to start the SQL service through configuration manager but it is not getting started. I am unsure whether SQL Server 2008 express is compatible with Windows 8. Please help.

I just installed SQL Server Management Studio, version 18.9.1, on a Windows 10 system. The installed Management Studio cannot discover known SQL Server databases out on the network, so I cannot log into a SQL Server using SQL authentication.
Please note, the target SQL Server has been installed for a while, and is running fine. I am trying to access this SQL Server from a new workstation.
The SQL Server Browser is running on the SQL Server I am trying to reach.
I am confused as to what should be installed if what I installed is not correct. I'm also confused as to which services to check are installed after installation. It doesn't look like a SQL Agent or locator service was installed, after I installed SQL Server Management Studio.
Am I better off installing a development database and just not using it in order to get the locator service?
I'm trying to connect to Analysis Services in SQL Server 2014 on server (local), but appears this error:
Cannot connect to (local). Additional Information: A Connection cannot
be made. Ensure that the server is running.
(Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient) A connection cannot be made
because the destination computer had refused.
Please help me solving this.
I am using Developer edition.
In my case, MS Analysis Services was not installed and that's why it was giving error. I ran the setup.exe to launch the installation wizard to add Analysis Services feature in my MS Sql Server and then it got resolved.
Since, I am using everything on one machine which is Windows Server 2012, I didn't require to make any change in firewall setting.
I dont know much about sql server.
I have just re-installed windows 7 on my laptop. After that I installed Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition. I also Installed SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2.
Now when I try to log in to sql server management studio by using server name as . or (local) or .\SQLEXPRESS or PC-Name\SQLEXPRESS and using Windows Authentication I get the error as below.
Please dont mark this question as negative as I have searched on google for last 4 hours but did not understand the problem.
Update:
There are many reasons that may cautioning the problem:
SQL Server is not running
SQL Server is not properly configured
You try to connect with a worng instance Name
You can try the following:
Go to Mycomputer->Rigt Click->Manage->Application and Services
And from there check that SQL Server Express is running
2.From there also, gCheck the Instance name of your SQL Express and be sure when you log on to Management Studio you Provide the same Instance name
Confirm that the service is installed and running. Under Computer Management, drill-down into Services and Applications -> Services.
There should be a service named "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)". Try a restart or start of the service.
If any other instance of SQL Server is installed it will be listed - try connecting to LOCALHOST(whatever the instance is listed as) to verify the installation is functional.
UPDATED following further information from comments:
You may have only installed the client tools (management studio), and have not installed the database service. Ensure you have the correct installer which includes the database services engine.
First check that the SQL Server parameters are set accordingly.
Go to Start -
All Programs — Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 — Configuration tools —
SQL Server Configuration Manager
Under SQL Server Services, make sure that the instance is running :
SQL Server ()
SQL Server Browser
Under SQL Server Network Configuration - Protocols for (), these are enabled:
TCP/IP
Named Pipes
Do the same under SQL Native Client 10.0 under Client Protocols
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.
I cannot get my local computer to run SQL Server. I looked in the SQL Server configuration manager and noticed that there are no SQL Server Services listed. That can't be right. I also noticed that There are two Managers listed in the SysWOW64 folder (I'm running Win7): SQLServerManager10.msc and SQLServerManager.msc. Neither show any services at all. When trying to connect via SSMSE, I get the standard:
A network related or instance specific error occurred while establishing a
connection to SQL server...
I haven't installed a prior version, but did try to uninstall and reinstall using the Web platform installer from Microsoft. Any suggestions?
Thanks
I had the same problem and as Brian said, I was missing SQL Server Express. So I download SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and I installed it. now everything works fine.
Note that I thought I already installed it when I installed SQL Management Studio R2. Now, be aware that when installing SQL Management Studio R2, you are not installing SQL Server and you won't get any SQL Server Services in your Sql Server Configuration Manager -> SQL Server Services. You also need to download and install SQL Server Express.
Is SQL Server listed in services? (Start->Run->Services.msc)
If so, is it running?
That is an instance error, meaning you cannot connect to the instance. Most likely there is no instance installed on this machine. Meaning your not connecting correctly to the instance. Connect to the database engine again and check the server name and make sure your connecting to the correct server name or the local host, depending if this is a local machine or if this is on a server. Go back through setup and see if there are any features that didn't get installed. Try that and see if it works. If not then reinstall SQL Server and make sure all folders are removed and nothing is left behind before you reinstall.
