Installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.1399.06

I'm having problem with installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.1399.06. I have (I think removed) all beta and other SQL files but the installation still fails.

Any ideas on where to look for the problem(s)?

It looks like you already have an instance installed with the same name. In the Instance Name dialog enter a unique name for the instance you're installing.|||Hi,
What if I want to remove(clean) all default instances and install SQL Server 2005 RTM as the default instance. I am getting the same error trying to install RTM. I unistalled Sept CTP. How do I remove all the existing instances

Thanks,

Installing Import/Export Wizard for SQL Express

Where do I install the necessary files to get the import/export wizard to show up in sql express management studio? I have tried installing the SP1 Toolkit, the advanced services etc but I cannot get it so that I can right click on a database and 'import data' or 'export data'

Thanks!

I am not sure but because Management studio express is for express database which does not support SSIS services and SQL agent which are used for export/import by wizard this option was removed from user interface.

Sorry

|||

It does not show up on the UI but I found it in this directory

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\DTSWizard.exe

I think it comes with the Toolkit download

Installing CAB files using SQLCe

Im using SQLCE and SQL Server2000 to replicate to a Pocket PC running PPC MS windows 2002. What I want to know is it possible to update my cab file on the PDA remotely?
Is it possible to install the cab file trough SQLCE?I don't know but thought this MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sqlce/htm/_lce_deploying_from_embedded_visual_basic.asp link is any help to you.

Installing 2005 Samples

I installed SQL 2005 Dev Edition on laptop, basics working fine. I'm trying
an SSIS tutorial, it refers to: c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Samples directory.
Said directory is not on my disk. I inserted Setup (CD 2 of 2), clicked all
the installs for AdventureWorks and Samples, and it finally says must use
"Add Remove Programs to Install". So I went to Control Panel, "Add Remove
Programs", then it's tricky to decide which SQL 2005 to choose. I tried
several, but either got the same message, or it said that everything was
already installed.
Is there a simple .zip I can just download somewhere? Or what is the
correct way to install the samples, this has taken me almost an hour just to
get the samples.
Thanks,

Hi Neal
I had these problems with my RTM build. I mucked around with a few
suggestions for a while & ended up simply uninstalling, then re-installing.
Everything went fine after that. If you choose this route, do make sure
you've carefully selected the individual samples nodes from the installer
options rather than simply selecting the "install everything locally on my
computer" heading node as apparently there may be some problems with that
route.
