Problems Installing SQL Server when CTP was previously installed

If you are having problems installing SQL Server, including Express Edition, and you previously installed one of the Community Technology Preview (CTP) releases, then read on...

Please provide feedback if any of these steps are confusing.

--

Note that if the user already has .NET Framework on their machine, they're going to have to go back to an earlier version, do the SQL Uninstall, then go forward to the RTM version.

Please look at the %Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup
Bootstrap\LOG\Files\SQLSetup*_Core.log file. It should have a bit of
information in it saying what the conflict is and some GUIDs indicating
the product codes of the conflicting programs. The section you are looking
for will look something like this (and may repeat):
Running: PerformSCCAction2 at: 2004/6/27 13:54:12
Product "{982DB00A-9C4E-436B-8707-18E113BAA44C}" versioned
9.00.823 is not compatible with current builds of SQL
Server.Expected at least version: 9.00.849
The Product Name is "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis
Services Beta 2"
In this case, the offending product is “Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services Beta 2" with a product code of "{982DB00A-9C4E-436B-8707-18E113BAA44C}"
If the programs are still visible in the Add/Remove Programs control panel (ARP),
please remove them in the order specified by the readme file.

If they are not in ARP, please run the following steps:
Assuming you still have the media for the old build,
1/ Uninstall the current SQL Support files.
2/ Uninstall the current SQL Native Client (SNAC)
3/ Uninstall the current .NET Frameworks 2.0
4/ Run the old setup.exe up until it starts asking you what you want to install
(let it install SNAC and .NET), then exit setup.
5/ (**Skip this step for: SNAC, SQL Support Files and .NET Frameworks 2.0) run "msiexec /x {ProductGUID} /l*v c:\logfile.txt" for each of the ProductGUIDs listed in your Core log file from above.

Assuming that succeeds,
6/ Uninstall SQL Support Files
7/ Uninstall SQL Native Client
8/ Uninstall .NET Frameworks 2.0
9/ Install the RTM product.
--

Wow!

Would it not be easier/faster to
1) backup schemas
2) backup data
3) wipe system clean
4) install OS
5) install RTM?|||left out two most important steps Tongue Tied
6) restore schema
7) restore data

Problems installing SQL 2005 Express after trying VS.NET 2005 Beta 2

Hi Everyone,
I recently installed Visual Studio .NET 2005 Beta 2 which included SQL 2005 Community Technology Preview. After installing it all, I was no longer able to connect to my SQL 2000 instance in Enterprise Manager. The application opened ok but whenever I tried to browse the server or register it again, it was giving me an error relating to named pipes which really confused me since I was trying to connect to a SQL 2000 database through the SQL 2000 application. I was able to use the 2005 equivalent application (the name eludes me right now) to connect to the \SQLEXPRESS instance. All this time I could still connect to the default instance through Query Analyser and my .NET Web Applications that used SQL databases.
I later had to uninstall the betas because I needed a newer version of the .NET Framework to work with DotNetNuke 4.0. (A whole other story there...)
After uninstalling everything relating to the betas (which I had to do carefully in a prescribed order) I found that I couldn't even open Enterprise Manager properly. It had a big error message in the main display window. I discovered from a forum somewhere that I had to re-register a dll file to fix it. I did this and everything was back to normal.
(pause for breath)
OK, so then I downloaded Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and installed it. Everything was great until the end of the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition setup when I was told it had failed to install. I haven't looked through ALL the log files but in the summary log file, the following message is reported for all three errors:
"[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Shared Memory Provider: No process is on the other end of the pipe."
I am running Windows XP, SP2 with everything up to date in Windows Update. The Beta 2 of VS.NET was the only beta software I've installed. I'm not trying to connect to a different machine or anything either. VS and SQL are both on the same machine. The only other thing that may be relevant is that the SQL 2000 I have is an evaulation version. I don't think that affects it but you never know. It's often the most overlooked variable that trips you.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to remedy this?
Thanks for taking the time to read about my problem :)

i had the last ctp installed cleaned up the instalation and now when i try to install i get an error message:

SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Shared Memory Provider: No process is on the other end of the pipe

|||Sounds like an existing instance is there, but the service is not running.|||Walt,

Can you reply with the error code you're getting. Also, go to Add/Remove Programs and remove SQL Server Native Client and rerun setup and see if that works.

That's exactly what's happening to me. I'm afraid I don't have a solution but you're the first person I've found who's got the same experience as me. I had Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 including the SQL CTP and after I uninstalled it all I downloaded Visual Web Developer which included the SQL 2005 Express. I got the same error about no process on the other end of the pipe. (My post on the subject.)
Hopefully one of us will get a reply!|||

error code 29515 i did the add remove

thanks

|||Update:

I solved the problem by backing up my data and re-installing windows. I now have Visual Web Developer and SQL 2005 Express running alongside Visual Studio 2003 Enterprise Developer, MSDE and SQL 2000.

I don't know if there was a simpler solution but I had spent too much time on it already. Hurrah for my new Maxtor OneTouch II external 300GB beast that carried the burden of my data during these difficult hours!|||

Well, I can add myself to your group of installation problems with the same error mesage!!!

From my SQL Server Log:

PROBLEM: Report column is spilling over to another page

Hi all,
I'm trying to resolve a problem with my report. I am using a Table element,
and I'm using fixed width columns. When I preview the report in my
development environment, I get a normal looking report... 4 pages with all
the proper headers and columns in their correct locations. When I run the
report through my ASP.NET application and stream the rendered PDF through my
web application, the report rendering is wrong. On the 1st page, where the
final column on the right should be visible on the first page, spills onto a
2nd page, where it's all by itself. The 3rd page of the report shows all of
the columns, but no header, and then the 4th and 5th pages resemble the 1st
and 2nd page, and the 6th and 7th pages render like the 1st and 2nd pages.
I have tried to reasonably squish the columns, to no avail, and the only way
I could have all the columns show on one page would be to squish the first
column very small so it's unusable. My report is 8" wide, and I have 0.25"
margins on the left and right hand sides. My main table is 8" wide, and when
I make it smaller, there's no change... I still get the problem. I have
tried everything I can think of to try to make this work, but I am now
officially stumped.
I am using SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services.
Can anyone help? Any thoughts?
Here's the code I use to render the report:
Private Function GetReport(ByVal strReportPath As String, ByVal
strReportFormat As String, ByVal parameters As ParameterValue())
Dim data As Byte()
rs = New ReportingService
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
rs.Url = Convert.ToString(System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Item("payerdirectories.ReportingServicesWS.ReportingService"))
' create parameters
Dim encoding As String
Dim mimeType As String
Dim parametersUsed As ParameterValue()
Dim warnings As Warning()
Dim streamIDs As String()
data = rs.Render(strReportPath, strReportFormat, Nothing, Nothing,
parameters, Nothing, Nothing, encoding, mimeType, parametersUsed, warnings,
streamIDs)
Return data
End Function
I can upload my report design XML if need be.
Thanks in advance,
Cory KoskiClick on the page, Go into properties, size and make sure that it is less
than 8 (8.5 - .25+.25), I think what happend is this, when you were making
your report, at some point the page width became large than 8, although you
squished everything back to your requirement of 8, this setting did not
adjust. Unless you manually reset this it wont fix itself

But I did notice something interesting that I'm not sure that was there
before, but I'm betting it was. The Page Header and Footer are cut off on
the right-hand side, so the text that I have there is not displaying
completely.
Is there some setting in the device settings for the renderer to tell it to
use the entire 8.5" width instead of the default? What should I do to check?
I'm in Canada, so is it possible that the server I am testing this report on
is rendering it to A4 instead of Letter by accident?
Any suggestions?
