Hi,

I have a problem with my SQLServer 2014(Express) silent installation, in case there is a older Version e.g. SQL-Server 2012(Express) installed.

The log shows the following error:

[02DC:0C48][2014-12-04T10:53:30]i301: Applying execute package: SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe, action: Install, path: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\38E0D08F06AF2F907E1AEBDCA0444B828AE356B5\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe, arguments: '"C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\38E0D08F06AF2F907E1AEBDCA0444B828AE356B5\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe" /ACTION=Install /INSTANCENAME=SQLExpress /FEATURES=SQL,Tools /TCPENABLED=1 /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=BUILTIN\Administrators /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN=TRUE /Q /HIDECONSOLE /SkipRules=RebootRequiredCheck /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms'
[02DC:0C48][2014-12-04T10:55:54]e000: Error 0x84bb0001: Process returned error: 0x84bb0001

Some facts:
- My setup works well, if I use a plain Windows 7/64 installation (VM)
- If I uninstall the older SQL-Server Version, setup works well also.
- The SQLServer installation is part of a WiX-Bootstrapping project

It looks that I would need to check for older versions as well !?
If so, is there a generic way to do that?

Thanks for any hints and help.

Hi,

I have installed SQL server 2008 R2 in windows 8 64 bit machine and it was working fine. 2 days back i upgrade the OS to windows 8.1 and the process went smooth. Now when i start the SQL server, I couldn't able to login.

When I checked the service, i wonder that there are no SQL server 2008 instance running the services list.

Regards, Anbu.

I'm migrating a SQL Server instance to new disk on the same server. All of the user databases have been moved (detach/attach) but now I need to move the folders used by SQL Server.  I'm using  dbo. exp_instance_regwrite  to reset location to the new folders but I'm not sure how to handle the Security Certificate files that are in the same folder as my master files and msqlsystemresource files.

Does anyone know what these are?

Are they to support data encryption in one of the 40+ vendor databases we have on the instance or are they to secure connections?

Can I cut and past them?

Do they have to be under the same location as the master and mysqlsystemresource files?

The only entry I see in the registry for "certificates' under hkeylocal...Software...Microsoft...Microsoft SQL Server is under ........SuperSocketNetLib and is empty

Network Configuration Force Encryption = n
Native Client Configuration:  Force Protocol Encryption and Trust Server Certificate both = n

So, I know there's a lot of documentation on moving a TDE DB from on server to another, but I'm not so sure about backing up a non-TDE db and restoring to another server's TDE instance. On Staging the DB is encrypted.

Doable?

Thanks,

Scott

Hi there,

I have a 64 bit os with a 32 bit 2005 ss and wanted to upgrade it to 2008 r2. After seeking advice I've installed the 64 bit 2008 r2. However when I selected upgrade from the 2005 from the installation centre and it went through the install process and told me it was a success it hasn't upgraded 2005?

Both are express with advanced services.

Is it something to do with this WOW64 thing? Or is this just saying 2005 can be installed on a 64 bit machine. This is from the Microsoft page for version and upgrades..

1This SQL Server edition can be upgraded to SQL Server 2008 R2 on the 32-bit subsystem (WOW64) of a 64-bit server. Failover Clusters are not supported in the WOW mode. If you currently have SQL Server 2000, or SQL Server 2005 failover clusters on the 32-bit subsystem (WOW64) upgrade of the failover cluster to SQL Server 2008 R2 is not supported.

I have the install summary text file as well if that would help.

thanks,

:)

Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade a customers 32 bit ss 2005 to ss 2008 r2 and migrate the existing db's. The o/s is 64 bit.

Do I install the 32 or 64 bit version of ss 2008 r2?

thanks,

:)

Hi

We are planning to prepare 2 SQL /Std VMs in cluster for System center 2012 R2 implementation.  We will go with 2 instances (one for SCCM & VMM and 2nd for SCOM). Do we get any reference / how to / step-by-step articles to configure the SQL servers in cluster. Reporting server will be configured separately for both SCCM and SCOM.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I tried to follow all the similarly titled posts in this forum, yet no solution seems to work, so I hope I can find some up-to-date suggestion here (most of the older posts refer to versions from 2008 to 2012...).

I have installed Visual Studio 2013 (with the latest Update 2 RC) on a freshly installed development workstation with Win 8.1 with all its updates. Now I'd want to install SQL Server 2014 Express, but the setup keeps failing with the dreaded "Could not find the Database Engine startup handle" error (the log follows below).

What I tried:

1) download again and repair. Same error.

2) completely uninstall by launching setup.exe /Action=uninstall (success), then rebooting the OS, then installing again. Same error. I did this twice, the second time I also manually removed any directory left out in C:\Program Files etc.

When I launch the setup, I select all the components for installation in the package SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe (1.12 GB, last downloaded today -Apr 3, 2014-), and accept all the defaults including the proposed services accounts. There is no preexisting SQL Server instance, as expected.

The setup takes its time, and finally fails with the error quoted above. I really do not want to reformat my HD and fully reconfigure my workstation, which took about 3 days... Could anyone suggest a solution to have SQL Server 2014 setup so I can start developing instead of wasting time in administering the system?

Thanks to all! The log follows.

when trying to installsql2012standardinSpanishon a serverwindows server2012standardinEnglish I get the followingmessage "

The sql server licence agreement cannot be located for the selected edition standard. this could be a result of corrupted media or the edition being unsupported by the media.

Hi, when I try to install SQL Server 2012 SP1 (ISO from Microsoft Download website) on a Windows Server 2012 and try to select the shared feature options: 

- Reporting Services Sharepoint
- Reporting Services Add-in for Sharepoint products

They are both missing from the list.

How do I solve this? Help!

While installing Sql management studio, error showing that Could not write value to key\Software. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel . I Have right click on setup file and click on Run as a administrator but same error is showing. Kindly give me solution as quick as possible.

Hi All,

I have gone thru multiple threads and would like to understand some steps in detail for me to upgrade SQL 2005 to SQL 2012.

Below is my understanding and questions around it, I would be setting up a new environment with OS 2007/2008 with SQL 2012:

1. Environment Readiness - Ensure new environment is ready with Win 2007/2008 with SQL 2012 Server
2. Run Upgrade Advisor on the new environment and point to SQL 2005 instance

• Find the breaking/discontinued changes to be done before or After Upgrade
• <Question>: Over here I would like to know what should be our approach to make the required changes
• <Question>: Obviously I should not be making changes directly on the Production SQL 2005 server, then in that case should I take a backup/restore on the new SQL Server 2012 and then make the required changes to the database objects like (Table schema(changing column names/datatypes etc.), Stored Procedure, Functions & Views)
• <Question>: When I do a backup/restore I would also get the data along with it, so is this a recommended approach or should we only run/use the table schema creation scripts, fix the issues identified by UA and then do an Table to Table import, any thoughts on this ?
• <Question>: If I have to do a table to table Import then I should ensure there's a downtime during the Import or would I have any other better approach          

So, basically my questions are around the approach of fixing the issues identified by UA and moving the database to SQL Server 2012 environment, I have around 300 databased to me upgraded.

Please do let me know what should be a good/proven approach ? Pl. do let me know if you would need any more details from me.

Hi

We have 2 SQL 2012 std servers in Windows 2012 R2 cluster with 2 instances. We assigned static ports 1455& 1456 for each instance. So which are the ports that we need to open with Firewall or should we open the service with the firewall. The SSRS is configured on a dedicated server (found one article : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/library/cc646023(v=sql.110).aspx)

I'm unable to install Sqlserver 2008 in my laptop.while running set up ,first it finishes extracting files and during installing  "SETUP Support files" the dialog box suddenly disappeared. And i went to Add and remove programs in control panel and gave repair to sql server file it shows error  as

"The feature u r trying is network resource that i s unavailable "

and enter alternate folder containing d installation package sqlsupport.msi in below box.

Kindly give me a solid solution..Thanks in advance

..

Could not find any resources for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "Errors.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "Microsoft.SqlServer.Discovery" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed.



Hi All,

After spending 3hrs on the phone to MS in India I'm trying here as a last resort!

I'm trying to upgarde my SQL server 2012 Developer version from Evaluation to a full copy. I've been told that my Product key (Note I do not have a Product ID) is legit from the front line support.

However when I run hte SQL Server Installation Center (as an Administrator) I go to the following:

Maintenance

Edition upgrade

Pass first validation

Then enter in the Product Key and I get the following back in SQL:

"There are validation errors on this page. Click OK to Close this dialog box. Review Errors at the bottom of the setup page, then provide valid parameters or click help for more information".

I can only click on OK and then I'm left with either Next (same thing happens) or Cancel (which halts the full installation) finally help (which is useless).

Any help and ideas greatly appreciated!!!
