Hi,

I upgraded SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012. Upgrade failed with few errors. I run repair and few of those errors got fixed but there are two that I cannot get fixed.

The OS is Windows 7 ultimate (64 bit). I did in place upgrade and as result of an update I lost SSRS. I can see that a new directory for SSRS was created and all the files seem be in place but the services does not start and it points still to the old directory (where there is no service binary).

During an upgrade I get 2 errors: "SQL Path element is missing" and "The name has already been shared". And the features that failed are: Reporting Services and LocalDB

The following warnings were encountered while configuring settings on your SQL Server.  These resources / settings were missing or invalid so default values were used in recreating the missing resources.  Please review to make sure they don’t require further customization for your applications:

Service SID support has been enabled on the service.

Any suggestions about the possible causes of those errors will be appreciated.

Hi,
I have installed sql server 2005 express management studio.
After the successful installation, I try to open it and the connect to server window opens.
I use .\sqlexpress but it says:
Can not connect to .\sqlexpress

Any thoughts please?
Thanks

Thanks, Purna

Upon first run after installing Madcap Flare I am prompted to Install SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1. However, when I do so a dialog appears reporting a compatibility issue, but no further information is given when I click 'get help online' - well, it just says something like tough cookies man ;-)

How might I go about finding more information about this problem? Has anyone experienced similar problems? Should I ignore the message and install SQL Compact 3.5?

I am running Windows 8 RTM and have installed Visual Studio 2012 + Office 2010 on this PC, but not much else. I get the same warning on a different PC with a similar configuration.

I have a 64 bit 2003 VM setup and I want to install SQL  2005 Enterprise but the only 64 bit version of 2005 enterprise that is the extended version and when I try to install it I am told that it is not compatible with the version of the OS I am using:server 2003, x62, SP2.

1) what version of SQL 2005 Enterprise will work on 2003, x64, SP2?

2) What does the term "extended" mean in the context of an SQL server install?

Thanks,

Chris Schene

Hi, I'm trying to install Report Builder 3 on my pc. I'm using the msi from the download centre and keep getting a dialog box popping up that contains "1: 0 2:". I click OK and get the standard "Installation Failed" dialog. I have the .NET Framework 4 installed.

Hello All!

Would you be so kind to advise what would you suggest for the following settings of the VM which is node of the SQL Server 2012 Cluster.

In our case, we have the following settings

• VM settings on the Hyper-V:
  Startup RAM: 8 GB
  Minimum RAM: 4 GB
  Maximum RAM: 16 GB
• SQL Settings:
  Minimum RAM: 4 GB
  Maximum RAM: 16 GB

We found out that if SQL Server Minimum RAM is smaller than Minimum RAM of the VM settings on the Hyper-V then SQL Server 2012 Management Studio crashes when we try opening it after some period of idle time. So we set them equal each other. I have the following questions:

1. Are there any best practices for setting up the minimum and startup RAM settings in relation to the SQL Server 2012 minimum RAM settings?
2. Is there any explanation of why crash occurs?

Thanks a lot for you help in advance!

How good is the following Internet site. Is there a better one.

SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition for Small Business is an entry level edition intended for a small single-server office environment with a small user base (it is limited to 75 users).

Thank you,

I have a sql server 2008 instance installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.

This server is dedicated to sql server. I have set max_server_memory to 24GB, so 8GB is still available for other things.

Page file parameter (virtual parameter) is set to a default of 4GB. Should page file be changed to 1.5 *32GB.

Since only sql server is running, do we really need such large virtual memory (1.5 *32)!! Appreciate you expert advice.

Hi All,

I am having problems installing MSSQL 2012 Express (32 and 64 bit). I have tried the advance edition, the express edition with tools and the management studio both 32 bit and 64 bit versions without success. I get the following error..

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

SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:

'.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 120352. Error code 0x84B10001.

 I have searched the web for answers and found that this error has been reported a few times now......but I could not find the answer.

If there is a solution please advise.

Thanks. Chris.

Hi there,

is anyone of you running the following system configurations:

MacBook Pro Retina OS X 10.8

Windows 7 with Parallels Desktop 8

SQL 2012 or SQL 2008R2

I tried out everything, but it won't work...

The installation of the SQL 2008R2 failed because of missing perflib-files and values. The threads i found, haven't been helpfully yet.

The installation of the SQL 2012 failed because of missing ...-install-postmsi-cpu64-...-files.

Parallels said, that this would be a Mircosoft-problem, Mircosoft says, that it would be a Parallels-problem.

I just want to know, if someone else has got this thing running, specially SQL 2012, without finally changing to bootcamp -> that's not the way I wanted to go...

Thank you so much!

There is requirement from our client to install a sqlserver 2008 instance on a server where there is already a sqlserver 2005 installed.I know that i have to install a named instance of 2008 but my question is what is the impact of ths sql2008 installation on shared services like:

1. Client tools  -----
2. SSIS
3. SSRS

How to deal with installation without effecting the existing sql2005.

Note: i have to install sql2008 parllel to sql2005.

When attempting to update from 2012 eval to EE (with valid key) because the SQL Engine won't start the setup skips the install and only upgrades the browser and sql writer.
