Adobe PDF x64 ifilter - sql-server

Getting a weird error box when using the 64bit version of adobepdf ifilter for sql server 2005 x64 on a x64 windows server 2003.
The exact message box contents:
MessageBoxHeader: MsFTEFD.exe - Unable to locate component
MessageboxContent:
This application has failed to start because adobepdfl.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.
Has anyone an idea what to do here?
Re-installation of the ifilter did not solved the problem (including the steps needed to register the filter correctly to work with SQL server), Google does not pop up with any solution. Checked the application & system logs with no success.

This is not really programming related. However, I would look into whether you are running 64 bit SQL server, and whether the filter plugin is 64 or 32 bit.

SQL Server CE 4.0 Embeded Deployment Issues

Can someone point me in the right direction? I am developing an application where I am using SQL Server CE as an imbedded database. To do so, I put the “7 Dlls” that comprise the CE edition in the same folder as the EXE file along with System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll and then in code registered the COM objects. Wow, I was so pleased because everything worked. Being careful, I wanted to confirm all was well and uninstalled the SQL Server CE that I used for development. Fine! The app still worked. Going a step further I removed the 7 Dlls, leaving only System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll. I expected then to see that the application crashed. I was astonished because the application still worked. I then did a Windows folder search of my entire computer to find the 7 Dlls. The search found nothing, so I’m puzzled as to why.
I do have a local installation of SQL Server 19 on my computer. Is it possible the app is using some of the files in SQL Server 19? I’m at the end of my wits.
I have tried to find another app trhat uses CE and have searched for files that may have been installed. I also did a registry search and found nothing.
My goal is to deploy this Windows desktop program with confidence it will function properly.
Thanks for any help with my problem.

Error installing SQL Server 2016 Code 0X800736CC

I've reformatted my machine around 3 times. I'm on windows 10 and I've selected the erase all apps and files option and I'm still not able to install sql server express 2016. I'm presented with this error when trying to install.
‘Microsoft.VC80.MFC,version=”8.0.50727.4053″,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b”,processorArchitecture=”x86″,type=”win32″‘. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736CC.
I've tried many many things. I've reformatted, I've tried running the file as admin, tried other versions such as stand edition 2012, tried to install the files while deleting 2010 c++ distribution. I've ran .net repair tool and nothing as well.
The problem stemmed when I manually uninstalled .net 4.5.1 framework using add/remove programs. I think my system files or registry is corrupted.
I think the error says, you have a 32 bit machine(processorArchitecture=”x86″) and you are trying to install 64 bit app ,which is not possible
further there is no 32 bit version of SQLSERVER from SQL2016 onwards
Some of you may have noticed that Microsoft recently released SQL Server 2016 CTP 2.4. There is one major change that I am very happy about – x86, or the 32-bit version, is no longer included. SQL Server 2016 is now 64-bit only
you can try downloading SQL2014 express version which comes in both versions..here is a link to download :Download SQL Server Express

SQL Server 2012 installation on Windows 8.1

I am trying to install SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition, And I am getting this error:
there was a failure to calculate the default value of setting
instanceid
What can be the reason of that problem ?
I've experienced the same exact issue before. One of the things that you can do to verify if the image is correct, is to install this tool https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=11533 and find the checksum where you downloaded the image. If there are any issues it will let you know and it will help narrow down whether or not the issue is with the image or something on your system. In my case, it just worked after a restart, and the image validated fine.

SQL Server Data Tools and Visual Studio Issue

I have just installed vs2010 sp1 ultimate, sqlserver 2012 and the latest version of sqlserver data tools. I have opened up a solution from source control and receive a bunch of error like the following when trying the build the database project.
SQL71566: Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.SchemaModel.SqlFilegroup cannot not be set on both the Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.SchemaModel.SqlTable and the clustered Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.SchemaModel.SqlPrimaryKeyConstraint.
Running on Windows 7 professional, 64 bit
This is working fine for other members of the team and they all seem to have the same setup as me.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling vs2010 and ssdt
Any ideas anyone?
I was receiving this error with the November 2012 SSDT release but only when I moved a project from a 32 bit vista machine to a 64 bit vista machine. I was able to get my project to build by enabling the project setting "Enable extended Transact-SQL verification for common objects.". Enabling this setting in the past has caused other issues so I am not sure if this will surface other problems in this environment.
This seems to be a bug to which MS has not yet delivered a fix:

Loader Lock error with VB.NET 2008 (Windows XP only?)

When I run my application (WPF,VB.net 2008) on Windows XP, I get weird Windows Errors. When I installed VS2008 on the machines that got the error and debug. I got a loader lock exception, so I went into Debug and removed it. However, I still get the error when it is installed on the machine.
Is there a way to remove the Loader Lock Exception when the application is install. I do understands that it might not be the best solution, but it seems this happen only when I start an WindowsElementHost with a ReportViewer and this is causing the problem, so I don't really know what else to do with it.
All version of XP have that problem, as with 2003.
In Windows 7 and Vista I never run into that error while debugging and the installed product. The same thing applies with 2008 and 2008R2.
I've done a little bit of research and below you can find my guesses:
maybe it's a bug in the Report Viewer control itself and you should update to a later version. I've noticed that on December 2012 a new version was released (see this post), supposedly running on both .NET 3.5 and 4.0 (so it should work with VB 2008, see download page);
I've noticed that Report Viewer 2008 SP1 requires .NET 3.5 SP1 (see the download page) -- maybe an outdated version can trigger the exception you are seeing;
maybe Windows XP is not updated to the latest Service Pack or is the wrong edition -- again Report Viewer 2010 SP1 requires Windows XP SP3 (see download page) and Report Viewer 2012 does not run on Windows XP Starter Edition;
maybe it's a library used by Report Viewer that causes this exception (especially a mixed mode assembly) -- a dump or a stack trace would be helpful in this sense;
there is a comprehensive answer in this thread in the Visual Studio Tools for Office forum that lists several resources to understand this problem;
the previous link suggests that in some conditions it's safe to ignore this lock. If from your testing under Visual Studio with Loader Lock MDA disabled you see that there is no problem, you can disable the MDA in production machines using the instructions in this blog post -- basically it involves setting an environment variable and adding some lines to the app.config file (see also the documentation for Loader Lock MDA to see what the new lines should look like). I haven't tried it but I thought it may be useful for you as a last resort solution -- just be sure to test thoroughly your application to avoid undesired side effects.
To get more help, I suggest you so specify:
the version of Report Viewer you are using;
the version of .NET Framework you are targeting (in particular including Service Pack);
what Service Pack is installed for Windows XP;
any stack trace or debugging information you can gather.
