Installing MSDE??

Ok I installed the MSDE and after following the steps the last message box says to go to the control panel and install and configure the components.

I'm not sure what to do once I'm in the control panel.

Thank you.Somewhere along the way did you try to install MSDE but were unsuccessful? What is the exact wording of the message you are receiving?

Terri|||I am also having a problem with the installation of MSDE. About 2/3's the way through the installation the process froze. I cannot uninstall or re-install. The message I am receiving is that the installation was tampered with and needs to be uninstalled and re-installed. When I go to My Computer, Install/Uninstall Software, SQL Server is not listed.

Any suggestions?|||Well, searching the SQL Server and MSDE Forum here for posts from others who have experienced the same thing is a good start. And then starting a new thread with your own particular situation with the exact error messages would be the next step.

Terri|||i have the same probleme.
in my case it was an error of directory\subdirectory

c:\sql2ksp3\MSDE>

don't forget the MSDE subdirectory !! ;)

then type the command : setup SAPWD=xxxx SecurityMode=SQL

i hope it can help you.sql

Installing IIS and SRS at a later date

How difficult would it be to install IIS and SRS in a SQL Server 2005 x64 installation at a later date? What steps would I take?

Thanks!

Run the installer should be all that is involved.|||

I was thinking it might be that simple but preferred some confirmation.

Thanks!

hi !!!
i try to connect to my sql server local instance but it is always failed .... can you please tell me the step by steps and options to use to install sql server on my machine and i think i need to use he personal copy rather than the standard as it will be on my machne not in the server? please helpThe way I install SQL Server and any other database on Windows, I don't answer questions Windows ask me during installation because Windows does not know RDBMS and all your installation will complete. So you answer one or two relevant questions and you can install even Oracle. Hope this helps|||

thanks for reply .... but there is a reply to those questions in choosing options.... can you tell me in each step what shal i choose ?

|||When you are asked what option don't choose custom and the only other question that is relevant to you is the account to use to install and being a developer use the local system account and you can install the personal in less than five minutes. When you answer questions Windows checks those against what is in its database and end your installation. Hope this helps.|||let me expalin toyou the problem...i have machine at work i installed sql server before it was fine ...i did the same thing in my machine at home it does not work ..i can nto connect to the database.... can you please help i try connectionstrings.com and i tried different things still does not work .. please help !!|||In Visual Studio use the datalink property and use integrated security, all the answers I have been giving you are to install the database.

Installation SQL 2005 Express from a network

Does anyone know of the procedure, steps that need to be followed to allow installing SQL 2005 Express from a network? Since SQL 2005 express requires .NET 2 and the MSI engine 3.1 and MDAC 2.8 it is a real problem pushing it from a network such as active directory using an AIP (Administrator Installation Point).

Perhaps these will help:

As far as I am aware, there is no direct support for Enterprise use of SQL Express, including push installations. Think about it. Why would a company go to much trouble (and expense) creating an advanced tool to allow you to use a free product.

SQL Express is not positioned as an Enterprise product.

|||Thank you Arnie we will check out that article. Yea I know but we have corp. customers who want to deply SQL Express to workstations from the network and not use pull so we are trying to please them.
