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.

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.

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.
Planning to install SQL Server Developer edition. Should I remove SQL Server Express that came with Visual Studio before installing it? Can they work together? Is there any reason not to remove SQL Server Express?
Visual Studio installs SQL Express LocalDB, which provides on-demand SQL Instances in the user's desktop session. The SQL Server Data Tools requires this, and it's handy also for other development and test scenarios.
Also there's no reason to remove it.
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.
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:

I have Ms Sql Server Express 2005 currently installed. I need to install the "Sql Server Express with Advanced Services" from Microsoft, found here (in order to enable full-text search feature):
http://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pd/SQLEXPCTAV2/enus/default.aspx
Problem is: the "Express with advanced services" component is from 2012, and my Ms Sql Server is from 2005. Are they compatible? Do I risk messing up the Sql Server installation if I run this service?
I'm very short of time and I don't want to mess up my installation and have to reinstall.
Thank you!
Installing Express with Advanced Services will install a new instance of SQL Server. Compatibility won't matter because only the new Express instance will have Full-Text capability and your existing SQL Server 2005 instance won't be able to use it. What you probably want to do is install Full-Text for the instance you already have installed - you can do this through Add/Remove Programs for the existing SQL Server 2005 instance (assuming you still have the install media for SQL Server 2005), which will call up the Installation Center where you can choose to add features to an existing instance.
