Installing feature Pack components with an Application

Hi,

I have developed an application the uses SMO and RMO, now it is time to write the setup for it.

For the setup experience I want to be able to install my application on a clean copy of XP SP2 which has dotnet 2.0 already installed. As such I have downloaded the following from the Feature Pack for Sql 2005 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=d09c1d60-a13c-4479-9b91-9e8b9d835cdc&displaylang=en):

msxml6.msi

sqlncli.msi

sqlserver2005_xmo.msi

Now I'm thinking that I need to launch these msi's from within my own application msi, however, I don't want any UI displayed and I want my own msi to include these msi's when it's calculating the cost of the install.

Is this the correct way to go about getting these components on to a clients machine, i.e. nested msi install, or is there a better way?

Does anyone know what command line args (msiexec) or other options I need to provide for a UI less install of the above?

FYI I'm using VS 2005 to author the install.

Thanks for your help

Graham

Infact, why aren't msm (merge modules) given anymore?

To get a silent install, use the "\qn" flag for MSIExec. In order to 'chain' MSI installations, you'll need to create a setup.exe wrapper that will launch the MSIs in series.

Here's an example from VS.Net: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=BF253CFD-1EFC-4FC5-BA7E-6A6F21403495&displaylang=en that installs the .NET Framework (hardcoded) then installs your MSI using a settings.ini file. It'll need to be changed to remove the hardcoded installation and then to perhaps iterate through the .ini file to install multiple MSIs.

In response to why we don't ship MSMs any more, it is because we can't service them. If we discover a security (or other) problem with one of the files in the redist packages, we can't issue a QFE for MSMs, but we can issue a QFE for the MSIs that we send out. So it's a servicibility issue.

Installing all components on XP

At one time there was a Reporting Services installation that worked on XP. I
know this because I was training & testing myself on my XP machine which also
has vs.net, SQL 2000 & IIS installed. In my default website, I had
directories called reportserver & reports.
After not using this for a while, I tried to browse (unsuccessfully) to this
website & I could not get to it. even after rsconfig.
I uninstalled Reporting services to give myself the practice, but using the
install I have now, It complains that all the components cannot be installed
with XP. I really shot myself in the foot. Any suggestions, besides shooting
myself in the head?If the SQL Server2000 is developer version, yes, you can installed all
components on your XP. Otherwise, you ca only install client components. The
SQL Server itself, along with Reporting Services, needs Windows Server (2K
or 2K3).

Installed SQL Server 2005 but Enterprise Manager is missing and so are the databases like

Gurus,
Installed SQL 2005 for the first time. I noticed Enterprise Manager is
missing. So I went into Configuration Manager since it sounded similar and
low and behold I discovered that all the databases that get created in SQL
Server 2000 like Master, Model, Northwind, etc are missing. My question is
are they actually missing or do I need to install an add-on to see them?
Spin
> Installed SQL 2005 for the first time. I noticed Enterprise Manager is

It is not Enterprise Manager anymore. EM & Query Analyzer have been
combined into a single GUI tool called Management Studio. It should be
under the program files folder for SQL Server 2005, and if not, perhaps you
didn't pay close attention during install. You need to specify that
Management Studio is to be installed by going into Workstation Components.

> low and behold I discovered that all the databases that get created in SQL

Well, master and model are certainly there. What does "missing" mean? I
think you need to get Management Studio up and running before you can make
any judgment calls on what's there and what's not.
Oh, and Northwind is no longer a database that ships with SQL Server (same
as pubs). You can install AdventureWorks which is found under Sample
Databases in setup.

Since you already have the server installed, then open the CD, go to the
tools folder, run setup.exe, and when you get to the screen that asks which
components you want to install, slow down. First you'll go through these
steps:
(a) check "I accept the licensing terms and conditions"
(b) hit " Next > "
(c) wait for prerequisites to be installed (yes it will have to do this
every time)
(d) hit " Next > "
Now you will be at "Welcome to the Microsoft SQL Server Installation Wizard.
(a) hit " Next > "
(b) as long as you don't have any errors on the config check, hit " Next > "
(c) enter your name and company (or leave blank if desired)
(d) hit " Next > "
(e) on the feature selection page, expand Client Components
(f) I would select Connectivity Components and Management Tools (you may
choose others if you wish)
(to select a component, you click on the down arrow next to a component,
and choose "Will be installed on local hard drive")
(g) if you want sample database and/or Books Online, expand the
Documentation, Samples... node
(h) hit " Next > " ... I assume you'll be okay without assistance from here?

> Why does Microsoft have to make this so hard?
I don't think they made it as hard as you make it out to be. And be honest,
did you read "ReadmeSQL2005.htm" and setup instructions, and pay attention
to all screens while you were installing the product?
|||Thank you!
To be honest back, I never read ReadmeSQL2005.htm. I never RTM at all, I
simply expect the products to have the same tools in the same places as the
previous versions. We're all too busy in this life to have company software
throw us curveballs. I think MS should recognize that everyone is busy and
have products be intuitive enough to the point where you don't have to RTM.
Well, maybe RTM is a good thing b/c it keep us IT people in a job! Well,
it's off to the manual and this thing now.

I don't think this expectation is very realistic. If a product does not
evolve, then don't bother upgrading beyond v1.0.

installation problems : product ID rejected

Hello,

Maybe is it a newbie question : it is the first time I install a SQL Server licence purchased with the eopen program.

My SQL server licence is a french one. I purchased the correct media kit.

During the installation, I am asked the name, and the company name but the product key is greyed with product id which begin with "RY62Q". I guess it is normal (?)

But later on, when it comes to installing SQL server itself, i get a message telling that my product ID is incorrect. (id : 28021; event type : sqlca\sqlcax.cpp@.DetectProductID@.DetectProductID@.x6d75).

I tried dozens of times :

-with another admin account

-after cleaning up the temp and program files subdirectories

-after cleaning up the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSFTESQLInstMap; there was nothing anyway)

If it helps, I first try the installation from a wrong media. As I had no key, I went not far away.

I did received the authorisation number etc from Microsoft but I have no clue of what have to do from that.

As you understood, any help would be appreciated.

It is solved. I am really not sure how, but it solved.

I was about to reinstall the server. As it is a remote server, I had to upload the cds. In order not to have to do it again, I moved the cds to another partition. Just to be sure, I tried once again the installation...and it worked. The only possible cause I see is that the installation program detected a subfolder named "sql2005_cd1"(with a wrong media) in the same folder as my "newsql2005_cd1" (which actually contained the correct media). Maybe it is a dummy anti-piracy system, don't know...but now it worked and I am happy

Installation problem

I have tried several times to install SQL Exress and get the same failure all the time. The first time it failed was when I was trying to install the VB Express Edition. Recently I downloaded the VB Express 2008 edition, which installed without any problems. When SQL Express tried to install it failed with an error that just says 'SQL Server setup unexpectedly failed, review the summary.txt in the setup log'. I went to that file and below is what it says.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.3042.00
==============================
OS Version : Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Time : Wed Jun 27 01:18:21 2007

This is the only thing in the summar.txt file. It is in /program files/Microsoft SQL Server/90/Setup Bootstrap/summary.txt .

Is there any way to get this program to instll?

Thanks,
Fred

Are there any files located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Files?

Mike

|||

There are .cab files from each time that I tried to install and then in a folder 'files', there are a series of .xml files that all start with "SQLSetup0023_MRHOME_Datastore.XML", it is a 4kb file that I can't open to view. The only difference is the series of numbers, I guess for each attempt in setup. There is also a "SQLSetup0023_MRHOME_Core.log" that is empty

Thanks,

Fred

|||

Open the most recent cab file and see if there is anything inside other than what you've already seen. You're looking for more detailed log files for the various components that tried to install.

Have you tried to install SQL Express in any way other than through Visual Studio? They are using the exact same bits that can be downloaded from the web, but if you haven't tried, it might be worth installing SQL Expres using the setup UI rather than from the command line as VS is doing. You can download the package from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/downloads.

Mike

|||SQLSetUp0023.cab holds
SQLSetUp0023_MRHOME_Datastore.XML and a SQLSetUp0023_MRHOME_Core.log .
The '.log' file is empty and I can't open the XML file.

My installation tries recently have been with the downloaded SQLEXPR.exe that was downloaded from Microsoft. It creates the same error.

Is there anyway I can send you the .XML file for you to examine?

Sorry for the delay in response, but the forums would not let me respond for the last 2 days.

Any idea what is happening?

Thanks,
Fred Blar|||

Hi Fred,

The XML file doesn't contain any information that would be of value so there isn't any point in sending it in. This one is kind of a stumper since setup is not even getting to a point where it's creating logs to indicate what is wrong. Do you get any error message during setup when the failure happens? If so, could you respond with the exact and full text of the error message?

Also, what step of setup are you on when the failure happens.

Mike

|||

The steps are hard to see, they go so fast. It is extracting files from Setup/Program Files/Microsoft SQL and putting them into a temp file on the C drive; it is C: and then a lot of letters and numbers.

Then it just stops with the error message below.

The summary.txt is the file that I placed in the original question. It only shows what program was running, no extra data.

I there another version of the Express product on the near horizon? I had a similar problem with the VB Express installation, it would not install the 'templates'. Everything looked like it ran completely, but the templates were not there when I wanted to start a new project.

I downloaded the 'Orcas' version and everything installed fine with the 2008 version.

Installation problem

I have tried several times to install SQL Exress and get the same failure all the time. The first time it failed was when I was trying to install the VB Express Edition. Recently I downloaded the VB Express 2008 edition, which installed without any problems. When SQL Express tried to install it failed with an error that just says 'SQL Server setup unexpectedly failed, review the summary.txt in the setup log'. I went to that file and below is what it says.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.3042.00
==============================
OS Version : Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Time : Wed Jun 27 01:18:21 2007

This is the only thing in the summar.txt file. It is in /program files/Microsoft SQL Server/90/Setup Bootstrap/summary.txt .

Is there any way to get this program to instll?

Thanks,
Fred

Are there any files located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Files?

Mike

There are .cab files from each time that I tried to install and then in a folder 'files', there are a series of .xml files that all start with "SQLSetup0023_MRHOME_Datastore.XML", it is a 4kb file that I can't open to view. The only difference is the series of numbers, I guess for each attempt in setup. There is also a "SQLSetup0023_MRHOME_Core.log" that is empty

Thanks,

Fred

Open the most recent cab file and see if there is anything inside other than what you've already seen. You're looking for more detailed log files for the various components that tried to install.

Have you tried to install SQL Express in any way other than through Visual Studio? They are using the exact same bits that can be downloaded from the web, but if you haven't tried, it might be worth installing SQL Expres using the setup UI rather than from the command line as VS is doing. You can download the package from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/downloads.

Mike

|||SQLSetUp0023.cab holds
SQLSetUp0023_MRHOME_Datastore.XML and a SQLSetUp0023_MRHOME_Core.log .
The '.log' file is empty and I can't open the XML file.

My installation tries recently have been with the downloaded SQLEXPR.exe that was downloaded from Microsoft. It creates the same error.

Is there anyway I can send you the .XML file for you to examine?

Sorry for the delay in response, but the forums would not let me respond for the last 2 days.

Any idea what is happening?

Thanks,

Hi Fred,

The XML file doesn't contain any information that would be of value so there isn't any point in sending it in. This one is kind of a stumper since setup is not even getting to a point where it's creating logs to indicate what is wrong. Do you get any error message during setup when the failure happens? If so, could you respond with the exact and full text of the error message?

Also, what step of setup are you on when the failure happens.

Mike

The steps are hard to see, they go so fast. It is extracting files from Setup/Program Files/Microsoft SQL and putting them into a temp file on the C drive; it is C: and then a lot of letters and numbers.

Then it just stops with the error message below.

"SQL Server Setup" unexpectedly failed. For more information, review the Setup Summary Log in %Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup\Bootstrap\LOF\summary.txt "

Installation problem

First time I am trying to install sql express on my computer but getting few problems. I am sure that I have uninstalled all sqlserver, net related programs from the computer (as per instructions but when I installed I am still getting the message there are few components exists).

I have used "vs_uninst_betas.exe" and found few programs still running. I dont know how to uninstall.

Please can you help?

Thanks in advance,

Sowkash

The first option is to look in Add/Remove programs to ensure that all SQL and SQL related programs are removed. If nothing is showing, you'll need to examine the Setup logs to see which specific programs are causing problems. For each program listed, you should see a listing for the Program ID. You can manually remove the programs with the command:

msiexec.exe /x <program id>

Do this for each program listed in the setup logs. The logs are located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG for a normal install of SQL Express.

reboot. This installation process could be any software. So, what you need to do is to clean up the
registry entry where it says that a re-boot is needed. Google for suitable elements of the error
message and you will find a KB article explaining just how to do that. You can post back if you
can't find the KB article.

Installation MSDE - worked first time not second

Hello,
On my Window 2000 machine I was able to install MSDE one time. However, was
having trouble actually connecting to the new database server so I though I
would reinstall. Well, I have not had a succesful reinstall yet (I was
closer the first time around). Now, I am a long ways off from developing
anything with MSDE and the instruction on how to set this DB Server up is
not apparent!
I am very frustrated. I don't know what to do at this point.
Please help.
Karl

please make sure that previous MSDE installation has been completely fixed,
removing all file system and registry entries as described in
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q290991
this will clean up all info of previously installed and (partially) removed
instances but Window Installer registry entries..
in order to clear them to, you have to follow
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;320873 advices,
using MSIZap.exe from Platform SDK... I never cleared that and have found no
further problems, but my registry is now dirty :-(

|||Thanks, I will follow these steps. I have tried similar steps.
Just recently, I have been trying to obtain the MSIZAP.EXE application but
it is wrapped in together with another SDK. Well, this SDK as failed 2 times
now to install, using the ActiveX installer from MS. So now what? Is there
another way to obtain MSIZAP.EXE?
By the way, this is a fresh copy of Win2K loaded on this system... I'm not
having much luck.
