Is there a single redistributable for LocalDB that can be used on either 32-bit and 64-bit OS?

$
0
0

I want to include the msi for SQL Server Express 2014 LocalDB with a .NET app, but it looks like you need a different one for 32-bit and 64-bit OS.  This means making an installer package with both (adding 44Mb to the size), or creating separate installers for different target OS, or making the prerequisite a download, which requires the user to have internet access when installing.  None of these solutions is very good.    

What are the options?

System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3 SP2 and Microsoft SQL Server 2012

Hello

We are trying to move SCCM database from SQL2008R2 to recently installed SQL2012. I've made a backup of database on old machine, moved it to the new one, and restored it there. Checked permissions, all fine. Added SCCM machine to the "Administrators" group on the new database server.

Tried to move database, using Microsoft documentation, preinst.exe /stopsite, and then running Setup.exe > Modify SQL Connection

Entered new server name and instance, and it went down with these errors:

<04-04-2012 13:41:39> 1: <Components><Status Module: SMS Server\Components>
<04-04-2012 13:41:39> 1: <Components><Status Module: SMS Client\Components>

<04-04-2012 13:41:39> Setup has encountered fatal errors while installing SMS services.

Is there a global problem with SQL2012/SCCM2007 or it's just error on my machine? Please advise

Thank you

SQL Server 2014 on Windows 8.1 - Setup Failure - C:\Windows\Temp folder

$
0

Well, the title pretty much says it all.  I'm installing SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition on Windows 8.1 Pro.  The installation uses domain service accounts for all the services.  The installation progress well until the end.  Then, I get the following message:

Updating permission setting for folder C:\Windows\Temp failed.  The folder permission setting were supposed to be set to (and an ACL list followed by what looked like a object sid).

I'm running setup as administrator.

I tried to manually set the permissions, but that's not working (access is denied).  I also turned off user account control and hit retry.  That failed to.

So, before I go in there and take ownership of everything on the C drive, and grant myself full control over every file on the computer, I thought I ask for what I'm "supposed" to do.  I'm not going to tolerate this file control crap for very long.  I have better things to do.

Not able to uninstall Management Studio 2014

Some background ...

My corporate IT pushed a number of Windows updates to my PC.  Some of them weren't installing.  Not sure if any of them were related to SQL Server directly.  Our IT people had a hard time getting the updates installed.  After all this, I was no longer able to open Management Studio.  We tried the SQL Server repair utility, but it froze (no progress after letting it run overnight).  Now I'm trying to uninstall SSMS so that we could reinstall it, but the removal utility has hung as well.  I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise.

SQL 2012 Express, Prepare and Complete Image

$

Hi All,

I have a problem that is very similar to the one reported here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/771492e5-c271-491c-9bd6-8ec01e65e96c/sql2012-express-completeimage-for-sysprep-fail-for-quotdoes-not-meet-upgrade-matrix?forum=sqlsetupandupgrade

I have to rollout 1500 laptops each with SQL 2012 Express to run a Kiosk based app. Previously we used SQL 2008 R2 and did an unattended installation on each device after the OS was laid down. This time around I am trying to make use of the Prepare and Complete processes so I can get most of the SQL installation as part of our Windows base image. This is all being delivered via SCCM.

I have reviewed and considered all of these articles:

  1. I started with "setup.exe /uimode=normal /action=prepareimage"
  2. I completed the preparation wizard and grabbed the configurationfile.ini following that step.
  3. I let the prepareimage process complete so that I could then use the same machine to create the CompleteImage configuration file.

B) Once I had the two configuration I prepared the real windows 7 reference machine.

  1. I installed SQL using "setup.exe /uimode=normal /action=prepareimage /configurationfile=Prepare.ini /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS"
  2. This step was successful. SQL laid down its binary files and created the start menu programs. I made sure by reviewing the summary.txt file to make sure the installation had no issues. 

C) Once prepared I captured the Windows 7 reference machine and added that image to an SCCM task sequence. 

  1. I built a device using that task sequence and that also worked well.
  2. I left the Complete Image step out of the task sequence so that I could test this manually
  3. Once built I started and elevated command prompt and navigated to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2012\"
  4. I ran setup.exe /action=completeimage /configurationfile=Complete.ini /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
  5. This resulted in and error : "RANU is supported only for SQL Server Express.". After researching this I edited the complete.ini configuration file and set "EnableRANU=True" to False. 
  6. Setting this to false resulted in a new error which was "The selected SQL Server instance does not meet upgrade matrix requirements."

Everything is pointing to the fact that SQL is somehow in Evaluation mode. 

The article "https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210754.aspx" states the following:

  • Non-Express editions of SQL Server:

    • The Prepare Image step uses SQL Server Evaluation edition to install the product binaries. When the instance is completed, the edition of SQL Server depends on the product ID provided during the complete image step.

    • If you provide an Evaluation edition product ID, the evaluation period is set to expire 180 days after the prepared instance is completed.

  • Express editions of SQL Server:

    • To prepare an instance of SQL Server Express editions, use the Express installation media.

  • You cannot specify Product IDs for a prepared instance of SQL Server Express editions.

  • It clearly states here that non-SQL Express editions goes into evaluation mode. It seems, however that Express does the same. However it also states that that a product ID cannot be supplied for a SQL Express prepared image.

    If I run the /action=CompleteImage without the configuration INI file the wizard works as expected. When I get up to to the Product ID dialogue I can pick from Evaluation or Express. This seems to confirm that Express is going into Evaluation mode. The "RANU is supported only for SQL Server Express." error message also indicates that when running a CompleteImage using an INI file somehow it defaults to Evaluation mode.

    At this point I am a bit stuck. Any suggestions would be great.

    I'm working on a cluster (Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.5532.0 (X64)  Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2 <X64> (Build 9200: )) let's call it - SRV01. It's a two node active/passive cluster. Currently running on NODE01.  I can't seem to connect to NODE01 directly even from the server itself (using 127.0.0.1 as the server name). What am I doing wrong?

    important omission - when connecting with TCP/IP, I get an error that the server actively refused the connection.

    Hi, I have been trying to Install Sql Server 2008 on my 64 bit Vista Ultimate machine.  It gets about 70% through the installation and hangs on the part that says "Install_sql_tools_Cpu64_Action: Write_NativeImage64. Generating Native Images"  I have tried for the last 3 days with no luck.  I have tried un-installing and deleting directories but no luck.  I have scene several posts about the same problem but no solutions except one guy who uninstalled every thing but SQL Server 2008 and re-installed.  I have tried that but it did not help.

    sqlevn70.rll - Failed to Load Format String for Error 345

    I have been receiving the following alerts from this error message as shown below:

    Operating system error:317(The system cannot find message text for message number 0x345in the message filefor1033.).Check that sqlevn70.rll is installed in
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn\Resources\1033,where1033is
    the language ID of US English,or the appropriate folder for the localeinuse. Also check memory usage.

    The root directory of this MSSQL instance is at E:\drive, which I think might be the why it is causing that error.

    I have googled and seen what other people have suggested, and mostly is suggesting of uninstalling and re-installing the MSSQL. But this is a production instance, and I am trying to avoid this approach as this might cause a bigger impact to the business.

    Hence, I have tried the following steps:

    1. Created the path "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn\Resources\1033"
    2. Copy the sqlevn70.rll from the E:\drive
    3. Restarted the SQL service

    However, it doesn't seems to help and I still received the same error message.

    Could anyone advice me on how to resolve this error message?

    Thank you!

    What is the difference in the terms: dependencies and required dependencies?  In the Microsoft Article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/835185  you read  SQL Serverdependencies are Cluster Disk 1 and Name: SOFTY and you readSQL Server has no required dependencies.  What is the meaning of the term dependencies and when are dependencies present but not required?

    Thank you in advance for the clarification.

    Problem with SSMS Standard Reports on SQL2008 SP1 after CU3 applied (WinForms error)

    $
    0

    I'm building a SQL 2008 X64 Standard Edition instance on Win 2008. Once Cumulative Update 3 is applied to Service Pack 1 the following error is generated whenever I use any of the Standard Reports like "disk usage" for a particular database or "server dashboard" when logged on the server using the installed client tools. The problem does not occur from an external non-CU3 SQL2008CP1 client on a workstation, only on the server itself.

    Instead of a report the following popup is generated, labelled "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio":

    The file 'Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' cannot be opened. Do you want to remove the reference from the Recent list?

    This isn't when accessing it through the recent list but through Reports/Standard Reports/

    Because of this issue I uninstalled all shared SQL software, rebooted and reinstalled the client software from RTM release. The reports worked.
    After installing SP1 the continued to work.
    Again I installed SP1.CU3 and the reports failed again with the same error.

    I used add/remove to remove the CU3 from the client AND the installed instance and the reports work again.

    The CU3 release I installed was only the following as it wasn't clear on the release page that anything else was required: SQL Server 2008    All (Global)    x64    sp1    SQL_Server_2008_SP1_Cumulative_Update_3

    I thought I'd post this here, as I sniffed around on the net and couldn't find the same error message anywhere, except in this Indonesean language post, which didn't seem to go anywhere: http://belajarmicrosoftserver.blogspot.com/2009/03/sqlserver-indo-standar-report-sql.html

    Anyone else seen this problem? Does installing CU3 on a server where you want to use client tools require installing  SQL_Server_2008_SP1_Cumulative_Update_3 and SQL_Server_2008_SP1_Cumulative_Update_3_SNAC ?

    Thanks,
    Nick

    Hi,

    Our spt_values view is missing on our SQL 2012 server.  I tried running the u_tables.sql file to fix it, but I get the following error:

    Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spt_values, Line 7
    Invalid object name 'sys.spt_values'.
    sp_MS_marksystemobject: Invalid object name 'spt_values'
    Msg 15151, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
    Cannot find the object 'spt_values', because it does not exist or you do not have permission

    How can we fix this on 2012?

    Thanks!
