SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise: All Error Codes?

$

Hello

Is there a page or something, showing all possible error codes for the sql server? I found one but only going up to 40k. My code I got here right now is -568706566 but it seems not to have any problems. I still would like to know what this error code is and to prevent from asking again, I'd like a whole list with all error codes.

Thanks.

Trouble installing SQL server 2012 on Windows Server 2012

Hello,

We are facing big troubles installing SQL server 2012 on Windows Server 2012. Please see the screenshot.

postimage . org/ image /njh5rkstn /full/

postimage . org/ image /7k7a93vxv /full/

postimage . org/ image /n59j7bu7p /full/

Please remove spaces as I was not allowed to post link or images here for some reason.

After this screen, I get no error whatsoever. The installing just silently goes away as if I never clicked anything to install. No error or no success. We've already downloaded the setup from different locations to make sure the setup isn't corrupt or the files aren't missing. We've already tried doing several things installing .Net 3.5 etc. None of them fixed the issue.

Trouble Applying SQL Server 2012 SP1 to SQL Server 2012 RTM on Windows Core Cluster

I want to update our 2K12 RTM clustered instances with SP1.  There are two named instances running on node 1 and node 2 is passive.  The O/S is Windows Server Core 2008 Enterprise R2 SP1.

I've tried to run the upgrade file (SQLServer2012SP1-KB2674319-x64-ENU.exe) from the command line and I get an error indicating that everything was already at the latest version.  I get the same result when I use the full slipstream package specifying a configuration file with the upgrade action and the /QS flag.

Here's the message in the summary log:

Exception type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Setup.Chainer.Workflow.NoopWorkflowException
    Message:
        No features were updated during the setup execution. The requested features may not be installed or features are already at a higher patch level. Please review the summary.txt logs for further details.
    HResult : 0x84b30002

        ErrorCode : 2 (0002)

        at Microsoft.SqlServer.Setup.Chainer.Workflow.ActionInvocation.ExecuteActionHelper(TextWriter statusStream, ISequencedAction actionToRun, ServiceContainer context)

I've also tried to upgrade a standalone 2008 instance to 2012 SP1 and the instance seems to have been upgraded only to the RTM level.  The version information is 11.0.2100.60 and I was expecting to see 11.1.3000.0.

I haven't found explicit instructions for applying SP1 to a Cluster running on a Core operating system.  I must be doing something wrong, can someone please provide the correct procedure to use on a core cluster?

SQL Server 2012 stops running after setup files are copied.

SQL Server 2012 setup stops running after setup files are copied.

I've experiencing the same issue on two different machines. Both are 64 bit running Server 2008.

On both of them I tried installing using the files from the ISO. I initially used winzip to extract the files. The setup was running fine, but the SQL Server engine had an error when it installed. Then using the Add/Remove programs i uninstalled all of the SQL Server 2012 applications, including the setup files.

Now when i try to install using the "New SQL Server stand-alone..." wizard it will copy the setup files and then the wizard never comes back. I've tried mounting the ISO, extracting with winrar, Burning the ISO to a dvd and downloading the 3 files. I also tried mounting ISO of the version that was just recently released. I run into the same issue with all of them.

Thanks for the help.

Hi guys,

Im using a desktop with an Operating System Windows XP Professional, 32-bit processor, and has SP3. I just wanna know why I'm not able to install MS SQL Server 2008 successfully. For the nth time of installing and uninstalling it, I can't still install it successfully -- especially the "ManagemeNt Tools." Management Tool component was failed during the end part of the installing. I'm always getting stacked on this message dialog box:

The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk is notavailable.

Insert the 'Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2.0 - ENU' disk and click OK.

When I clicked cancel (because I don't have a clue about browsing any files in my computer), I'm always ending up in here:


Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Setup

T
he following error ha occured:

Error 1706. An installation package for the product MS SQL Visual Studio Tools forApplications 2.0 - ENU cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy ofthe installation package 'trin_aide.msi'.


Thanks for reading and helping guys! God bless!

I am attempting to install SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Trial and receive the follow error during installation.

 

"The SQL Server 2005 Express Tools are installed. To continue, remove the SQL Server 2005 Express Tools."

 

I have used Add or Remove programs to remove all components of SQL Server 2005 Express.  I have even reinstalled the Workstation Tools of SQL Server 2005 just so I could indiviually remove those tools, and then completly removed the SQL 2005 installation.

 

I have used regedit to search for any instance of SQL Server 2005, there is none.

 

 

There is still an entry for SQL Server Mangement Express in my all programs listing.  However trying to launch that program fails with errors, so it is partial still installed.

 

Can anyone tell me how to wipe out these last bits of SQL Server 2005 Express Tools?  I have tried everything I have found searching this forum to no avail.

msiexec.exe processes keep running after installation of SQL Server 2012 SP1

Hello,

I just installed SQL Server 2012 SP1 on top of the RTM. The installation completed without any errors and everything seemed OK until I noticed that my machine was using almost 100% constantly. When looking at the processes, I noticed 2 msiexec.exe processes which were running. Sometimes one of them disappears but half a minute later, it's back.

When I look in the Eventlog, the following warnings are logged repeatedly:

EventId: 1004
Source: MsiInstaller
Description: Detection of product '{A7037EB2-F953-4B12-B843-195F4D988DA1}', feature 'SQL_Tools_Ans', Component '{0CECE655-2A0F-4593-AF4B-EFC31D622982}' failed. The resource'' does not exist.

I have installed SQL Server together with SharePoint 2013 RTM on the same machine and the following components have been installed:

- Database engine
- Management Tools (Complete)
- Reporting Services (SharePoint Integrated mode)
- Reporting Services Add-In for SharePoint
- SQL Client Connectivity SDK

I had the same issue with SP1 CTP4 on 3 completely different machines (all SharePoint 2013 machines)!! After uninstalling the SP1, the msiexec processes are gone and the CPU settles down and goes back to the normal load.

Any pointers are appreciated...  since this SP1 adds a lot of BI features for SharePoint 2013, I really need this.

Thanks,

Bart

SQL Server 2008 R2 Install Freezing (Hyper-V)

$
0
0

During the middle of the SQL Server 2008 R2 Install, SQL Server always freezes on the same step when installing in Hyper-V ( SQL_DTS_VSTAConfiguration_install_Cpu64 ):

 

 

 

This is a Fresh Windows Server 2008 R2 Install within a Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V System:

Dual Xeon E5345 2.33 GHz

Supermicro MBD-X7DAL Dual Socket 771 mobo

24GB RAM

 

Virtual Machine:

4 vCPUs

6GB RAM

 

Every virtual machine I create has the same problem installing. I have to quit the install, remove all components, reboot, and restart the install. I had the same problem on a core i5 2500 hyper-v box earlier. The only software installed on the Hyper-V server is the Hyper-V role itself, Adobe Reader, Office, and Forefront AV client.

 

Thanks,

John


There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer

$
0
0

when trying to install SQL 2008 R2 SP1 I get the error “There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer”.
What I have: SQL 2008 R2 64bit (version 10.50.2500) installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit setup in a two-node failover cluster.
What I have done: Downloaded SQLServer2008R2SP1-KB2528583-x64-ENU.exe, ran it, the “System Configuration Check Report” shows all checks passed except for the “Engine_ResourceDLLUPdateRestartCheck” which it shows as “Not applicable”, I click next and check “I accept…” then click next.  Both check boxes are grayed out, but are pre-checked.  When I click “next” it gives the error above.
Possible Unknows: Another coworker is also working on the same project and could have installed something that I am not aware of.
I have seen numerous articles about this error, but they almost all have to do with the improper version of 32 versus 64 bit.  I have double checked to make sure its Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit and SQL 2008 R2 64bit. 
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 then CU7-CU9?

$
0
0

Greetings,

SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1.  We have a Reporting Services issue (KB2522708) that is addressed in CU7.  When we try to apply CU7, it eventually reaches the point where it says:  "There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer."  

One of the 3 different systems we've tried it on also said:  "The version of SQL Server instance Shared Component does not match the version expected by the SQL Server update.  The installed SQL Server product version is 10.51.2500.0, and the expected SQL Server version is 10.50.1600.1."

We then tried CU9 on one of the systems, but received the first message.

Can CU7 through CU9 be applied to a system at version 10.51.2500?  Seems odd that I would have to deinstall SP1 to be able to install CU7?

Thanks in advance for any insight.
