SQL Server Express and native client just do not work together on my machine.

win7 64bit

SQL Server Express 2012  SP1 (64 bit) installs--- but it does not seem to actually install Native Client.
SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe

SQL Native client 2012 (64 bit) says that it installs, but it does not add the DLL's or create the proper directories on the machine
 ENU\x64\sqlncli.msi 

I feel like i have wasted a week on this and have had enough.

Everything is uninstalled, where now we wish to clean the machine totally of any and all old SQL related  - code , directories, registry - whatever to have a fresh install,

~~~~~

Is there a list of items that would help to ensure a clean non conflict install? In the image below I see a conflict, however As far as the uninstall directory is concerned no other SQL server exists. -- How do you approach  totally removing all related items that are  lingering somewhere?

Hi Guys,

hoping someone can assist me here. Trying to install SQL 2012 sp1 on a server which currently has MS Sql2008r2 installed. I've read this can be done, however keep getting the same error: 2349 happens during Install_SQlsupport_katmairtm_cpu64.action:installfiles.copyingnew files. Below is my error log, thanks in advanced!

I have SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 installed (I'm at 10.50.2500). Trying to apply the KB2716440-patch.

However, when I get to step three, "Select Features" I can't select anything. If i click "Select All" and try to proceed I get the following error:

[Error Message]
There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer.
================================================================================

There is definitely a SQL Server instance on the server and as far as I can tell, the patch has not been applied.

I have laptop having windows 7 OS

I want to learn SSIS and SSRS.I have no Visual studio , SQL Server installed on my machine.Please let me know what all is required to be installed.

Hi,

I am using virtual box and have created a VM for a Domain Controller, a SQL Server and Sharepoint. The DC is up and running fine. I have the SQL Server server itself added to the domain. The issue I am having is assigning the service accounts during SQL installation. The machine recognizes the accounts and I have verified the passwords(and changed them 3 times) and are strong passwords. No matter what I do I get a list of errors:

The network address is invalid.

The SQL Server service account login or password is not valid. Use SQL Server Configuration Manager to update the service account.

The credentials you provided for the Analysis Services service are invalid. To continue, provide a valid account and password for the Analysis Services service.

...I get the same message as above for SSIS and SSRS.

I am totally confused at this point. Can I used the default 2012 issues and change them afterwards using Config MGR?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I support a two node cluster running on Windows Server 2003 (x86) hosting 8 SQL Server 2005 instances. I upgraded a new instance to SP4 today, but the installation froze. Logs showed that the installation had completed successfully so after 2-hours, I kill the installer, and I attempted to bring the engine service online through cluster manager. The engine service wouldn't start and the service shows in cluster manager as being in a failed state.

When I try to bring the engine service online through cluster manager, the service never shows online and after a few moments again appears failed. If I start the service manually using the following, it starts fine:

net start "Machine\Foo"

But, when started like this, it doesn't show as online in cluster manager.

It appears that when started thru cluster manager, the instance comes online in single user mode. Once started some process connects to the instance, and as result, cluster manager's "alive" pollers can't connect, cause a failover which fails (that's another story), and the instance stays in a failed state.

I've confirmed that the startup parameters for the instance don't include a "-m". I've verfiied the startup parameters for the instance in the registry. Why is the cluster starting in single user mode when started from cluster manager?

Im trying to install SQL Management Studio on windows 7 but I keep getting an error saying it can not found or see Microsoft Native Client but when I check in my programs I do have it, any suggestions? I have SQL server 2008 and was trying to install Management Studio 2008 express and my OS is Windows 7 Pro with service pack 1.

Hi All

I am not able to install Sql Server 2012 on a virtualized (HyperV) Windows 2012 Server

It says "The SQL Server licence agreement cannot be located for the selected edition, WEB

This could be a result of corrupted media or the edition being unsupported by the media

Error code 0x858C001B"

The binaries are from an ISO downloaded from MSDN.

I had decompress all the files but no issue...

Any idea please? 

Thanks

NOT ABLE TO INSTALL SQLSERVER 2000 AND THIS ERROR COMES .

i am telling what is the message comes

"setup failed to configure the server.Refer to the server error log and C:\Windows\sqlstp.log for more information"

and log few last steps are 

19:57:08 StatsGenerate returned: 2
19:57:08 StatsGenerate (0xc0200805,0x1,0xf000000,0x200,1033,303,0x0,0x1,0,0,0
19:57:08 StatsGenerate -1,faizyab)
19:57:08 Installation Failed.

I WANT TO KNOW WHERE IS THE PROBLEM AND WHY DOES THIS ERROR OCCURS? AND HOW I CAN REMOVE IT ..

Installing a new SQL 2008 R2 cluster on Windows 2008 R2 boxes.  Installation goes through till the installation starts and then returns the following message.  The NIC I am using is on a separate VLAN for this SQL Server box and the IP address I am trying to add absolutely does NOT exist on the network already.

TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
------------------------------

SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:

The IP Address '10.220.56.100' is already in use. To continue, specify a different IP address.

Error code 0x84B40000.

After the interview ends, and the installation of SQL2K8 SP1 is well and truly underway, it hangs on "SQLBrowserConfigEngAction_install_startup_cpu64"

After about fifteen minutes it asked me if I'd like to retry the startup of the browser service.  I agreed, and the installation continued satifactorily.

On a subsequent installation on the same machine, I could not get past that problem.   I have included the relevant parts of detail.txt below.

The machine in question is a clustered SQL2K8 SP2 machine on which I must load 7 slipstreamed instances of SQL2K8 SP1.   I am adding a partner machine, as well, to create a five-node cluster.  That machine is almost identical hardware and it never has any problems.

To judge from the error messages, it looks as if I might somehow be installed a 32-bit instance from the multiple slip stream directories.  Could that happen?

Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi, My name is Leonard and I am studying SQL. I have downloaded the newest MS SQL 2012 and also MS 2012 Hyper-V. I have set a MS 2012 Hyper-V on a laptop with AMD Turion 64 X2 and 3G of RAM (Planing to add more to max at 8G).

Following the instructions in the free onlineAdministering Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases” Training Kit, I have set 6 virtual machines as instructed in the Training Kit. While the installation of the MS Server Core 2008 R2 SP1 completed with no problem, the same cannot be said for the SQL Server 2012 installation. I have encountered an error that I have not seen anyone address in any of the SQL web forums.

After running the unattended setup instruction (Setup.exe /qs /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQLEngine /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /SQLSVCACCOUNT="Njowa\Pa$$worD>" /SQLSVCPASSWORD=" Pa$$worD” /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="Njowa\lenny#4!@" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS) this is what I get after a series SQL setup initiation windows popups then disappears.

The following error occurred:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Error result: -2147467261

Result facility Code: 0

Result error Code: 16387

Please review the summary.txt log for further details

My question is: What instance of an object is not properly initialize in the Setup instructions

This problem is solved, but I wanted to share the solution in case anybody else was having trouble.

I tried to upgrade from SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 to SQL Server 2012 SP1.  Unfortunately during the upgrade, I received two error messages:

"No mapping between account names and security IDs was done" <--I received this two or three times during the upgrade.

"Value cannot be null – Parameter Name: userGroupName" <--I received this once.

For each of these errors, I was forced to click "Cancel" but the installation would continue and eventually finish.  Most components would install correctly except for the critical ones:  The Database Engine and SSAS.

Fortunately my 2008 SQL instance was still functioning so I wasn't shut down (I ran another production day as is), but I still needed to upgrade to SQL 2012.

Running the upgrade again didn't work.  It would appear to work, but it didn't even try upgrading the database engine or SSAS.  Even uninstalling SQL 2012 and re-performing the upgrade would not work.

I came across this blog post:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/baliles/archive/2012/04/27/how-to-fix-a-failed-sql-2005-2008-r2-or-2012-install-upgrade-mssqlserver-inactive.aspx

This gentleman described very well how to identify inactive instances and delete them.  I followed his steps and was able to uninstall SQL 2012 and re-upgrade, but I ran into the same problem again with the error messages.

After uninstalling SQL 2012 as described in the blog, I tried repairing my SQL 2008 R2 install.  The repair yielded the same error messages, and could not fix it.  Frustrating, but at least I could run a repair to see if the error was fixed or not rather than installing/uninstalling SQL 2012 over and over.

I ran into a number of posts describing this error and linking it to domain controllers run on SQL servers (not recommended).  During an emergency a couple of years back, one of our admins upgraded our SQL server to a DC for a week or so.  I removed it from being a DC after the emergency had passed, but I think this was still carrying some SID issues in it.

The solution:

1. After a failed upgrade, follow the blog post above to remove SQL 2012 inactive instances and return to SQL 2008.

2. Temporarily change any service accounts on the SQL server (Database Engine account, SQL Server Agent account, SSAS, etc. - I only had three) that are running.  These were domain accounts in my installation.  I temporarily changed them to use my account (with admin rights), then after applying, I immediately changed them back to their original accounts.

3. I ran the SQL repair tool again (control panel -> uninstall/change the SQL Server program and click "Repair") and had no problems.  I don't think repairing did anything, but it didn't hurt and when it ran without errors I knew I was ready for a SQL upgrade.

4. Run the SQL Server 2012 upgrade.

This worked for me.  I hope it can save someone else some time and money.
