Hi,

I had SQL Server 2005 Express Edition on my PC. I tried to
completely delete it:
1. Stopped all SQL Server services.
2. Following the instructions at
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/Sho...54408&SiteID=1
ran "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Setup\Bootstrap\ARPWrapper.exe" /Remove
3. Uninstalled from the Progams & Features in the Control panel in the
following order:
“SQLXML4”, “Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer”, "Microsoft SQL Server
Compact Edition", and finally "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client"


I installed SQL Server2005 Enterprise Edition from
en_sql_2005_ent_x86_dvd.iso with no errors and only a incompatibility
with Vista warning; then Service Pack 2
SQLServer2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe with no errors or warnings.

I have no "Binn" directory in "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\" ; so I have no SQLAGENT90.EXE to run as a
Service; so I have no SQL services running or any way to manually make
any SQL service run.

What did I do wrong? How can I get a "Binn" directory with
SQLAGENT90.EXE?


Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your post.

From your description, I understand that:
After you installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, you found that
there were no SQL Server Services and SQL Server Agent Services on your
Windows Vista system.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.

The problem is that SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition is not supported on
any version of Windows Vista series. You may install SQL Server 2005
Standard Edition or Developer Edition on your Vista.

For more information, please refer to the section "Operating System
Requirements (32-Bit)" of this article:
Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../ms143506.aspx

Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or
concerns.
Have a nice day!

Best regards,
Charles Wang

Hi,

I uninstalled EE, then installed DE. When I attempt to install
database services I get this error:
Product : SQL Server Database Services
Error : SQL Server Setup failed to execute a command for
server configuration. The error was [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL
Server]MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size..
Refer to the server error logs and Setup logs for detailed error
information.


looking through the log files I also found this error:
Error: Action "LaunchPatchedBootstrapAction" threw an exception during
execution. Error information reported during run:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\setup.exe"
finished and returned: 5039


I am guessing that my uninstall was incomplete. What could I have
missed?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi,

The MODIFY FILE problem went away when I deleted the "Microsoft SQL
Server" directory before reinstallation. Then I ran into the problem
described by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929105. If somewhere
there was a warning not to select Binary or Bin2 collation if there is
a mixture of upper and lower case letters in the Computer Name beinig
a newby I missed it.

Developer Edition is finally working on my new Vista PC!

Thanks very much,
Mark
