Can not install MSDE 2000A

I am attempting to install the MS SQL Server Desktop Engine. I have the
MSDE2000A.exe file and it unpacks successfully. I then run the setup and get
an install fail with the following:
Install message:

How do I get this install to work as I have an application that requires SQL
desktop.
Thanks...
Read the readme files that come with MSDE. You can't just run the setup.exe
with no parameters an expect to install SQL Server exactly like you would
like it configured. MSDE a developer's tool so act like a developer and do
some investigative work before trying to install it.

|||Hi Jim,
Thanks for the put down. Most appreciated.
I am not a developer. I am simply a computer user trying to use a program
that requires MSDE. And, I did not think that MSDE was a developer tool,
but simply a db engine that apps could plug into. But clearly you know more
than I.
And, with a little research by this end user I switched on no back out so I
could read the install log, and I supplied the setup.ini file with the
following:
BLANKSAPWD=1
SQLSecurityMode=SQL
By stopping the back out I now have SQL server running. but can not install
ODB connectivity drivers. ODBC 2.8 install was attempted in safemode.
Thanks Jim,...
Looking forward to your next put down.
BTW, I was directed to this forum by MS support as the place to receive help.

If MSDE is running then MDAC (and the ODBC drivers) must already be
installed - SQL Server can't run without it.
I find it surprising and disappointing that the application you are trying
to install, that requires MSDE, does not make the installation of MSDE
seamless to you. What is the name of the program you are trying to install?

Hi Jim,
Thank you. We’ll start fresh. Here’s the deal.
OS= WinXPpro.
App=ACT! 2005 (version7)
And yes, I have gone around and around with BEST software (makers of ACT!)
about the need to support the install of SQL MSDE. They claim that it is a
MS problem. However, I have used this install of XP for 2 or 3 yrs with
hardly a BSOD or any other problem. 70 or 80 programs run just fine. (Of
course not all at once). FYI ACT! Is a contact manager. I have been using
v6 with a great deal of success. However, v7 is a total rewrite and uses
SQL. It is essentially version one. I don’t know that I want to trust my
data to a program that is such a problem to install, and relies on some
else’s db engine.
On to the problem:
I could only get MSDE up and running when I switched on don’t back out on
failure:
setup.exe DISABLEROLLBACK=1
I did this based on a clue that the last line in the SQL error log was:
SQL Server is terminating due to a ‘stop’ request from Service Control
Manager.
My thought was that if it can be stopped it must be running. Lo and behold
on reboot the little computer icon is in the system tray. And Task list
shows SQL server running, and sqlmangr running.
However, the drivers tab in ODBC do NOT show SQL Server. And, when I
attempt to install MDAC v2.8 it bombs out.
Part of my problem is that I don’t under stand the functional relationships
between all these elements. My thought is that SQL MSDE is the db engine,
and that MDAC drivers in the ODBC are essentally middle ware allowing the
application to access the db.
Before SQL was running, when I last attempted to install ACT! v7 the error
out was 1603 can not configure server. I have not tried to reinstall yet
wanting to get as many ducks in a row as possible.
Looking forward to your post.
Thanks

|||You're correct MSDE is the database engine, MDAC is the communication layer
between the application and the database.
The DISABLEROLLBACK option is an option for the Windows installer to not
rollback any changes to your system if the installation fails. The original
error your received, 1603, is basically a general error reporting back that
the MSDE installation failed.
It seem to me that although MSDE is apparently running, the installation is
in an inconsistent state. What I would recommend is completely unistalling
MSDE. The following link is to a KB article for manually removing MSDE from
your system.
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;320873
On your system go to Control Panel | Add Remove Program and see if there is
an entry for removing MSDE (it may be referenced as SQL Server). If you find
it then uninstall it. If that is successful then continue with the Remove
Files and Folders part of the KB article and finish the rest of the steps on
the article, removing registry entries.
If this is all successful then you have a system that is cleaned of MSDE.
Next I would try installing MDAC 2.8 and see if you get through that
successfully. If you don't then I would not attempt to install MSDE, since I
doubt it will succeed.
Next reinstall MSDE by running setup.exe with the following command line
parameters. You could use an .ini file for the SECURITYMODE or BLANKSAPWD
options if you want. Personally, I find using the command line easier.
/Lv c:\MSDEsetup.log SECURITYMODE="SQL" BLANKSAPWD=1
This will install a default instance of MSDE to the default directories
(c:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server) with a blank sa password.
If the install fails then you should have a verbose log on the root of drive
C. Post to this group the tail end of the log where the installation start
to break down; you'll see where there is first a failure and then rollbacks
of registry entries and files.
A lot embedded database application are moving their data storage over to
MSDE. It's a very powerful and reliable environment (once you get it
installed!). The problem is that SQL Server is much more complex of an
application to install than a simple flat file database or an Access based
solution. When the installation of MSDE goes sideways, recovering from it
can be quite a lot of trouble, as you've experienced.
Good luck - I hope you are able to get MSDE finally installed.

|||Hi Jim,
Well I see one error of my ways. I was installing MSDE first and then
attempting an install of MDAC 2.8.
If I understand you correctly after I remove everything I should start with
MDAC and then go on to installing MSDE.
I will try this, but it will have to wait for a day or two. The pressure of
work interfers with all the fun stuff ;-)
Thanks... I'll post results in a few days.

|||It wasn't an error to install MDAC after MSDE; I just thought it would be a
good test to make sure that your system is in good order first. All windows
versions since Windows 2000 come with MDAC preinstalled, but it is best to
upgrade to 2.8 before you start the MSDE installation.

OK, here is the latest:
re: KB 320873 - the Msizap.exe failed to find the SQL server to uninstall.
There was no SQL server in Add/Remove.
This in spite of the fact the icon was in the system tray, and I could call
up the control panel to start and stop the SQL server.
Soooooo... I stepped through the manual removal. And took out lots of SQL
keys that were in the registry, plus all the stuff that the KB article
suggested. Removed the temp files and the entire branch of SQL server in the
directory structure.
I also ran Registry First Aid and did a general clean up of the registry.
I then ran the MDACsetup and received the following:
MDAC 2.8 RTM is incompatible with this version of Windows. All of its
features are currently part of Windows.
There is a Details button that brought up nothing.
OK, so which is it... Incompatible with WinXP pro or already installed?
Hard to know from that error mess.
Forging ahead I ran the SQL setup with your (Jim’s) command line switches.
(See previous message.) That resulted in the same error as before... to wit:
Setup failed to configure the server. Refer to the error logs.
With the verbose log switched turned on the resultant log is 3.6 MB. I am
not going to post that (don’t think I could anyway.) There is a lot of note
1: 2360- stuff near the top, and then tons of opening and adding RegValues.
But here is the middle part. This is near the end of the install and a bit
into the rollback. It seems to vomit at (24!1C) at the config server
execution.
I am at a total loss as how to proceed.

|||This may be a long shot, but is the Server service running on your machine?
Go to Control Panel | Adminstrative Tools | Services. If it is not running
then bring up the properties for the service, set the startup to automatic
and start the service. Then try re-installing MSDE.

Can not connect to SQL server 2000 on windows authentication mode

Hello everyone,

We have SQL server 2000 on windows 2000. From our desktop MS Access was connected to database through ODBC. Since yesterday (after our consultant had updated another asp application in the same server) we are getting “SQL Server Error: 18452. ….. Login failed for user ‘(null)’. Reason: not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. “

The consultant saying he did not touch any settings on server (?). And the problem is even server’s security property shows it has mixed mode authentication. But I cannot connect to server even through my SQL server enterprise manager in windows authentication mode. I can connect if I use SQL server authentication. Through ODBC I can connect also and test fine, if I use SQL authentication. But the Access application wouldn’t connect using SQL authentication in ODBC.

So, can any one help me to find out what else could be done to make sure that the server is going to accept windows authentication. I’m thinking any other settings or registry change … etc. Please help.

Thanks

You are getting the error during the communication with the Web Servcie, right ? Then you probably changed the Security of the ASP application to not allow Integrated authentication. Are you using an asp or an ASP.nET application ?

Hi Jens,

No our web service is fine. We are trying to connect through ODBC and SQL enterprise manager.

Hi Taposh,

Did any of the security settings on the SQL Server itself changed? (ie. was some Windows user account access removed from SQL security settings?) You can verify this by using Enterprise manager and login using "sa" and expand the server; expand Security, and then click Logins.

Unfortunately, there are a few scenarios in which you will receive an 18452 error back from the server. Some of the typical scenarios include; missing login rights for Windows users; client and server on different domains (Kerberos trust issue).

Please have a look at http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2006/12/02/understanding-kerberos-and-ntlm-authentication-in-sql-server-connections.aspx

I would also recommend searching on the web using the error message as the key phrase.

HTH,
Jimmy

Thanks for your reply.

I would like to install vxUtil, and I have already read the readme.txt file. But I still have some questions about that. Should vxUtil be installed on my personal PC or the Pocket PC(PPC)? If it should be installed in the PPC, how can I install? In the readme.txt, I get the following information:

Open the appropriate folder on the hard drive then double-click
on the InstallCE icon to start the install process for the correct device.

From this information, I feel that vxUtil should be installed in my personal PC. Is it correct?

Could you please answer me about that?

Thanks a lot.

vxUtil should be ultimately installed on device. However, like pretty much all Pocket PC products, it goes through desktop and Active Sync. You install/unzip application on to desktop, then you (or desktop installer) execute something which would push it to device via AS. As a developer you would have to do the same for your application eventually. In some cases there's no desktop installer, just a device CAB file. In that case simply copy CAB to device and click on it from device's file explorer.

Dear Ilya Tumanov,

Your answer is so great. I have already installed it into the PPC, and it scanned the ports in my desktop PC. From the result, the ports 25, 80, 135, 139, 443, 445, 990 and1025 are all open. But the program that I posted yesterday and listed above can not still work. What do I need in the next step?

Moreover, I have changed the connection string to

Dim strConnection As String = "Server=Server1;Integrated Security=SSPI;database=AdventureWorks"

Thanks a lot.

The followings are my codes to connect PPC with the database on my PC with sql server 2005. But when I cick the button1, the error with "SQL Server does not exist or access denied."

I have already installed vxUtil into the PPC, and Ping is OK. I use it to scan the ports in my desktop PC. From the result, the ports 25, 80, 135, 139, 443, 445, 990 and1025 are all open. But the program can not still work.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

reader.Close()

Default SQL Server port is 1433 which is not opened so it's not going to work until your SQL Server is properly configured. Also you have to provide credential in connection string, this string is not going to work.

I'm moving this thread to appropriate forum.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer, and right now 1433 port is open. I would like to use windows authentication protocol. Could you please provide a sample for the connection string? Thanks a lot.

This should work:

"Server=YourServerHere,1433;Initial Catalog=YourDataBaseHere;User ID=YourLoginHere;Password=YourPasswordHere;Integrated Security=SSPI;"

Note you have to provide login and password even though windows authentication will be used. That's because there's no login procedure on devices.

Dear Ilya Tumanov,

Thanks a lot for your so many helps, and it works.

|||

so..It must have a password?is it same with windows user's password?what if blank?

if I'm not wrong, if we set the windows password, we should change the SQL password too right?

you should check this link http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=709129&SiteID=1&mode=1

It works for me after a loooooonggg time testing

Can not access Report Manager administration options

Recently installed SQL Server 2005 Express with Reporting Services in a W2K3 server.
The installation was performed using Remote Desktop Connection to the server, with a domain account in the Administrators group. Initially, the Reporing Services service failed to start, but I could solve this with references to your forum:
http://www.developmentnow.com/g/115_2004_10_0_0_452194/Report-Services-did-not-install-properly-on-w2k-and-w2k3-Can-anyone-help.htm
After the service could start and completed the Reporting Services Configuration,
I can access the Report Manager Home page, but only with HOME and HELP links,
no options for the administration of the application. Please help !!

http://www.developmentnow.comI forgot to mention that after fixing the service startup problem, I got a 401 error when accessing Resport Manager. I could not fix this, but could get access by allowing anonymous access to the website in IIS properties. This might be important to the analysis of the problem..

http://www.developmentnow.com|||Very good that you added this. This is the reason that you didn't get
administration options. By default anyone in the local administrators group
is in the proper RS role to administer RS. BUT, when you are anonymous RS
doesn't know who you are (because you are anonymous). And so, no admin
options.
So, the real issue is your 401 Error. Back up and concentrate on that. I
suggest getting back to where you are getting this error
I googled 401 error Reporting Services
This one looks like it could be your issue:

Can I use SQL_Mobile as PC desktop server or PC local cache server?

Can I use SQL_Mobile as PC desktop server or PC local cache server?
I want many data to be cached at user's PC,
and call for this data to be created transparently as for remote
main SQL server.
Is it possible to do without creating complex structure of doubling functionality
of main queries to single SQL server ?
some articles, samples, links, keywords ?
thanks you

SQL Server Mobile cannot be used on Desktop for production use. It is restricted by licensing terms.

The next version of SQL Server Mobile known as SQL Server Everywhere is available for production use on Dekstop. The CTP of SQL Server Everywhere is at the following location - http://www.microsoft.com/sql/ctp_sqleverywhere.mspx The data can be cached in the user's PC in SQL Server Everywhere. The data can be replicated between SQL Server Everywhere and SQL Server by Merge or RDA Replication. Link to Replication is - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171801(SQL.90).aspx

Can I use MSDE in a Microsoft's Corporate Client

I Work in a Corporation where SQL is not an standard to deploy but office 2000 are desktop utilities by default. They use access, word, excell, etc to work. Can I use MSDE with Vb 6 and how can I administer the MSDE database ? I have seen Access frontend
to make changes and permisions and its very poor. Can I use Sql Server Console or Third parts ?
Thanks

you can download and install MSDE for sure in corporate environments, as
MSDE release A (http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/do...s/download.asp) is
free..
as regard management, you can use SQL Server management tools like
Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer only if you a licensed owner of a full
SQL Server edition, but you can write your own tool, use Acces and/or resort
to third parties tools like those provided at
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/partners/default.asp and/or

Can I prevent customers from viewing schema?

Hi all,
I'm struggling with the pros and cons of developing a new desktop app using
Jet or MSDE/SQL Server. If I use MSDE/SQL Server, my installer would need
to be able to either install MSDE (if it's not installed already) or locate
an existing SQL Server in which to create my database.
One thing that I would like to accomplish is a little protection of my
intellectual property. Specifically, I'd like to prevent customers from
looking at my database schema. Is this possible (or practical) in a
production SQL Server environment? If so, what is involved?
TIA!
- BobBob,
The schema definitions in a database are avialable to public, which means
that anyone can read them. Trying to subvert this would probably cause you
some real problems.
For the future: http://tinyurl.com/th9k "An Overview of SQL Server "Yukon"
for the Database Developer" makes the following interesting comment:
SQL Server "Yukon" ships with a new security model that separates users from
objects, provides fine-grain access and provides greater control of data
access. Additionally, all System tables are now implemented as Views,
providing greater control over database system objects.
Wait and see on that one, I guess.
