How to install SharePoint Foundation 2010 with SQL server 2012 standard version on windows server 2012 - sql-server

I have to install SharePoint foundation 2010 with SQL server 2012 Standard Version on Windows server 2012
What I have flow the steps:
Installed Windows server 2012
Installed SQL server 2012 Standard Version
Installed SharePoint Foundation 2010(SP1)
But Issue is that SharePoint not picking the right SQL server 2012 Standard Version instance,it always uses the SQL server express instance that is comes with SharePoint SP1 .exe file.
I have tried this activity for 3- 4 times by removing SharePoint and SQL and Repair as well but always all the configuration databases are generated in the SQL express instance.
Did anyone having suggestions or solution will be appreciated.
Thanks

Your problem is that you are choosing Standalone installation and this option will always install SharePoint Data Bases in SQL Express.
When installing SharePoint you must choose Server Farm installation (even if SP and SQL are on the same server) at the second screen after accepting licence terms, some screens later you will be able to choose the SQL instance.
Here are some guides that may help you, however I recommend you to search more information:

How to use SSIS of SQL Server 2014 on Windows 7

I'm trying to use SSIS of SQL Server 2014, I already had SQL Server so I've followed some tutorials of how to add the SSIS functionality. I downloaded the setup of SQL Server but SSIS is missing when I look for it.
I read on a previous post that it's because I'm downloading SQL Server express
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42299 and that version doesn't have that feature.
But I've seen videos where they have the same link and to them do appear the SSIS when they're doing the same procedure.
My question: what can I do to use SSIS of SQL Server because I have Windows 7 and other versions as SQL Server 2016, 2017 need Windows 8 or newer, but I don't want to install them.
You can download SQL Server Developer Edition, if you are just planning to use it for development purposes. It is having SSIS coming with it.
SQL Server Developer Edition 2014 supports Windows 7. You can see more details here
The SQL Server Developer Edition 2014 download instructions are available in the Stackoverflow post
You need to install Sql Server Developer Tools-BI (SSDT-BI) to work on Integration Services Project. You can download SSDT from here. Choose the one corresponding to SQL Server 2014.

How to get GUI on SQL Server 2012

I have installed a Evaluation 180 days version of SQL Server 2012 from the official website of Microsoft, on a Windows Server 2012 R2 (with gui). At the end of the installation in the Installation center, everything passed and succedeed but when I quit the program, I don't have any way to execute SQL Server from a graphical interface. I can see MS instances created, services running but how can I get a GUI to work with SQL Server?
With the newer version of SQL Servers, the SQL Server Management Studio (the GUI) is a separate install and you will need to install it separately to the database engine installation (which is what you have done). You can download SSMS from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062. The page contains a lot of different download components, make sure you check the appropriate install and click download.
ENU\x64\SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe if you want the 64bit installation of SQL Management Studio
ENU\x86\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe for the 32bit version.
you Need to Install SSMS
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is a tool to manage and administer SQL Server and SQL Database.
SSMS is offered free of charge by Microsoft.

TFS 2012 express edition fails installation - Due to pre req SQL server

I am installing TFS 2012 Express edition and I fail at the wizard that runs "Readiness check". It fails at the Data tier section.. with error
TF400533: In order for this wizard to upgrade to the latest version of SQL Server Express, you will first need to install Service Pack 2 or newer, and then re-run this wizard. It is recommended that you run Microsoft Updates which will install the current service pack automatically (You may need to enable Microsoft Updates from the Windows control panel).
Question:
What service pack 2 is this talking about. If its SQL 2008 R2, then I installed it and I get the same error. If its TFS 2012 or SQL 2012 , there is no SP2.
I did install SQL server 2012 express edition separately and and then re run the TFS 2012 express edition install, it still fails at the same point.
The problem is the version of SQL Express that is packaged with TFS is not capable of upgrading the older version of SQL express you have. It must be pulled forward for the upgrade to work. So, we detect you're behind the minimum version it's capable of upgrading and show that message.
This article discussed a few options. If windows update works for you (optional updates) that is the easiest path.
http://elhajj.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/on-dealing-with-tfs-error-tf400533/
If you run that SP2 installer directly (next, next, next), it can just install SP2 but not against the SQLExpress instance on your box (sigh). It's not obvious - if the above link doesn't get you going, let me know and I'll include more detailed steps.
How about SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2?
TFS 2012 Express will install SQL Server 2012 Express while TFS configuration is running, so my advice to you, you will need to uninstall any any instance of existing SQL server you have and re-run TFS configuration wizard, remember to backup any database you have before uninstall.
Uninstall an Existing Instance of SQL Server 2012
Uninstall an Existing Instance of SQL Server 2008 R2

Installing and distributing SQL Server without Management Studio

Have developed a small Windows application using SQL Server as its database.
I need to give the installation pack to my customer, and include the required SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.
How can I distribute my database without including Management Studio?
You client is going to have to pay a good amount of money to licence the Enterprise version.
You can either:
give them the SQL2005 Express (which you can redistribute)
get them to use Microsoft's Web Platform Installer
You could also use SQLExpress 2008, the client can download either the x86 or x64 editions via this page. You can't stop them from getting SQL Management Studio if they want to (it can be found here), although i'm unsure if the express version has the query analyzer.
Instead of SQL Server enterprise edition you can give Express edition. Express edition is free to re-distribute and use.
There are 3 installation files in SQL Server 2005 express.
1. Windows Installer
2. SQL Server 2005 express
3. Managment studio express
In your case you can install the first two. However SQL Server can be accessed by command prompt also.
SQL Server management studio is another application and does not come bundled with MS Sql server.
SQL pack should only contain SQL Server express edition and not enterprise edition as that is not free and your client will have to pay for it.

SQL Server 2005 - install & setup -ADD_LOCAL property / template.ini / UPGRADE property

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on my Windows 7 Ultimate laptop.
When the installation runs, I am getting the following error :-
A component that you have specified in the ADD_LOCAL property is already installed. To upgrade the existing component, refer to the template.ini and set the UPGRADE property to the name of the component.
I had installed an Express version from the Web Platform installer, but I'm sure I removed that. Also installed were compact editions from a mobile development workshop I did last year. I removed those also.
Currently my Uninstall or change a program list in Control Panel has the following SQL Server related entries :-
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Books Online (English)
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile [ENU] Developer Tools
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor (English)
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Setup Support Files
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client
Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English)
Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer
Where do I go from here to get this product installed ?
In the end I followed this article.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlsetupandupgrade/thread/50164862-ef20-4758-9c7a-0d6ae8f1b3f9/
After rebooting and running the installation again, and choosing just the client components (the problem part of the install) it is now installing smoothly.
I'm going to rerun the installation in a few moments and install the SQL Engine, Reporting Services, Analysis Services, and the other options such as the sample databases.
Job done; it seems.
