How to install SQL Server 2005 on Windows 8 64 bit?
Perform these steps:-
Extract sqlncli.msi / sqlncli_x64.msi from SP3 or SP4. I did it from SP4
Install sqlncli
Start SQL Server 2005 Setup
During setup I recieved an error The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics,
“How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files” and “Starting SQL
Server Manually.”
Don’t click cancel yet. From an installation of SQL Server 2005 SP3 or SP4 copy SQLSERVR.EXE and SQLOS.DLL files and put them in your SQL
install folder.
Click RETRY
From the reference Thread:-
Microsoft says the SQL Server 2005 it's not compatible with Windows 8,
but I've run it without problems (only using SP3) except the
installation.
After you run the install file SQLExpr.exe look for a hidden folder
recently created in the C drive. Copy the contents to another folder
and cancel the installer (or use WinRar to open the file and extract
the contents to a temp folder)
After that, find the file sqlncli_x64.msi in the setup folder, and run
it.
Now you are ready the run the setup.exe file and install SQL server
2005 without errors
See
SQL Server 2005 is NOT supported in Windows 8. You need to change the server version or the operating system.

I am trying to silent install SQL Server 2016 components using a configuration file from my installer using inno setup. The OS I am using is Windows Server 2012 R2.
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is available as a separate installer from 2016 version on wards. So I am required to install the SQL Server first followed my SSMS executable through my installer in one shot.
The problem is, the SQL Server is installed correctly but requires a system reboot before installing the SSMS executable. I tried using /SkipRules=RebootRequiredCheck parameter when I execute the Setup.exe and deleting the PendingFileRenameOperations registry entry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager) after the installation of SQL Server. But it still requires a system reboot.
Is there a way to skip the system reboot or any other work around possible for my requirement.
Thanks in Advance.
Folks,
I installed SQL Server Express 2014 on three of our servers, and on two have no problem. On the third, I cannot add a new database and set the compatibility to 2014 (120).
I have done SELECT ##VERSION, and yes, it's the 2008 engine that's still running. I don't understand why the 2014 engine isn't running. All the same installed bits appear in this server as in one that's working properly.
The Services list shows just the 2008 Agent and Browser, none for the 2014 installation.
Weirdest is that the location where the 2014 service lives on the drive of the working server (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS) doesn't appear on the troubled server. But then...where's my 2014 stuff actually installed? (I've checked similar paths on other drives, and in the Program Files (x86) location.)
When trying to install SQL Server 2016 Express in Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1 in VMware I get the following message.
What can I do to solve this?
Here is a workaround for users that need SQL 2016 on a Windows 7 development PC. This will allow the developer to develop and manage them by using using MDFs in LocalDB:
If you don't have Visual Studio 2015 then get it or the 2015 Community Edition
Download and install SQL Server Data Tools. SSDT
Note:
When I initially installed Visual Studio 2015 I chose custom install and selected all options. I was assisting someone else troubleshoot their installation so I installed Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition on another Win 7 Computer. I chose custom Install and under Windows and Web Development options I chose Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools. It stated 2012 SQL Server, but after install and restarting I had both the 2014 and 2016 SqlLocalDB (under 120 and 130 folders respectively). SQL Server Data Tools install may not be needed unless you need SSIS, SSAS or SSRS which I do need.
After all of this you will need SQL Server Management Studio 2016 or higher to connect to the local db and access the 2016 functionality.
After you have installed this there should be a SQL Local DB command Line tool installed. My install location was D:\Programfiles\130\Tools\Binn\SqlLocalDB.exe
The default install location as pointed out by Discosultan may be:
D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\Tools\Binn\SqlLocalDB.exe
My install path was different, but that may be due to the several versions and related components of SQL server that I have installed on the PC and the manner of my installs. Once you have done the install you can search for SqlLocalDB.exe if you have multiple versions and navigate to the 2016 version, (product version 13 in the 130 subfolder).
You can find the install folder path in the registry for SQL 2016 by reviewing the following Registry Entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (Abbreviated to HKLM below):
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Local DB\Installed Versions\13.0
You can run the command line from there or add the directory to the path statement. I have multiple versions so I just go to the directory. Then you create a localDB instance and start it:
SqlLocalDB create "LocalDBExample2016" -s
SqlLocalDB Utility Command Line Reference
From that point if you prefer the GUI you can open SQL server Management Studio 2016 or through Visual Studio and connect to server:
(localdb)\LocalDBExample2016
From there you can add databases, etc.
The mdf and log files will default to C:\Users\[UserName], but they can be moved when creating the databases or copied elsewhere and given to the DBAs, etc. Some of the features won't be available like in memory OLTP tables. Here are the edition comparisons: Editions and Supported Features for SQL Server 2016
As the error message states SQL Server 2016 is not supported in Windows 7. You will have to upgrade to Windows 8 or higher or switch to a Windows Server operating system. Here is a list of all the operating systems (and other hardware and software requirements) in which SQL Server 2016 can be installed.
Late to the party, but while you can't install SQL 2017 Express or 2016 Express on Windows 7, you can install SQL 2014 Express. This may not work for compatibility purposes if you're dealing with a newer version of SQL (although I've been able to install the non-express version of SQL 2016 and 2017 to Windows 7) but if you're supporting something that uses an older version of SQL Express (which, frankly, is likely if you don't have access to a newer OS) this should work well enough.
I am unable to edit top 200 rows in SQL Server. Everytime I click edit top 200 rows I receive this message and sql server restarts.
I have tried to reinstall SQL Server management and also tried to
– Copy and replace the DLL “dsref80.dll” in below path from a machine where SSMS is working fine in to the machine where the problem exists.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\Visual Database Tools\dsref80.dll
– Replace all the files in below folder using the files from another server where SSMS is working fine.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\MSDesigners8\
– Close and Open SSMS.
None of these solutions seem to work
I got the same issue and found the reason:
I was connecting to a SQL Server 2014 database using SQL Server Management Studio 2012.
Installing and using SQL Server Management Studio 2014 rectified the problem.
It appears that they are not compatible. Though it should be noted that I didn't have any service packs installed for either version.
Did you recently install multiple .NET Framework applications and MS software? If so, you might need to reset your network adapter.
Try running the following command in CMD (Run as Administrator):
netsh winsock reset
--- Update ---
Are you updated to the latest SQL Server 2014 SP?
Check your version by using this SQL statement:
USE master
SELECT ##version
The latest version is SQL Server 2014 SP2 (12.0.5000.0 – July 2016).
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.
