More MSDE Installation Problems.

I too am having problems with MSDE with VS.NET. I am trying to install the Dunwamish Enterprise Example App and I keep getting the following error: "[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).] SQL Server does not exist or access denied." Also, most of the exa
mples refer to the PUBS database which I can't find anywhere. Did it not come wrapped up in MSDE?
I have W2K Pro, Visual Studio .NET 2003, MSDE loaded v8.00.760. Is there anybody out there that can help a .NET newbie out. The guy the company had hired to come in here and start our .NET efforts has quit and dumped all this in my lap. I am familiar with
Visual Studio 6; however, we hav always used Sybase Anywhere before. Any help will be appreciated.

More installation woes

We have releases a shrink wrapped winforms application that uses SQL Express as its backend. The product has a fairly large take up, and consequently it is being installed on a large numbre of different machines and configurations. We seem to be having quite a common problem with the installation of SQL Express, we launch the installation from our own installation package with the following command line

SQLEXPR.EXE /qb ADDLOCAL=ALL SQLAUTOSTART=1 INSTANCENAME="OURInstanceName" SQLCOLLATION="Latin1_General_BIN"

We are seeing time after time that the install fails with the message "The SQL Server service failed to start."

Summary.txt points to

We've seen some cases of this. Here's the workaround:

The solution in those cases seemed to be to grant the Network Service FULL CONTROL on C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Application Data\Microsoft\Protect

Hope this helps.

I do not have the directory C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Application Data\Microsoft\Protect on my machine. I do have C:\Documents and Settings\[my username]Application Data\Microsoft\Protect so I set the permissions on that as indicated, but it didn't help.

Any other suggestions?

|||Yep, Set Local System to be the Service account for SQL Server. This seems to do the trick.|||

Grant Full rights to "NETWORK SERVICE" on the "C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService" folder. Let the system take care of the rest.

(Running the "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)" service under the "Local System" account also works, but don't do this! The "Local System" account has virtually unlimited access to everything on your computer. "Network Service" has just enough rights to get the job done, without opening a security hole the size of the Grand Canyon.)

Hi,

Sorry if this is a naive question, but what's wrong with using Local System?

We've been having problems with the reliability of the Network Service account when installing SSEE on user's machines. Sometimes the account doesn't exist, or modifying the "C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService" just isn't enough.

So we had hoped that by using Local System the installation issues will be resolved.

Do you strongly recommend against this idea?

Thanks

Sam

|||Hi Sam_S, the post by T Hunsaker is correct (although perhaps exaggerated a little), Local System does have more privileges than Network Service. However, if you are running SSEE with no network connectivity, and/or using "user instances" to connect to your databases, this will isolate you from most of the potential security threats out there, and yes I have still seen issues with the suggested fix of granting NetworkService full rights on C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService.|||

Hello Jalperin,

I am having exactly the same problem (also no directory C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Application Data\Microsoft\Protect); did you find an ultimate solution?

Peter

|||

I am having the same issue "C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService" has the correct permissions (prior to the various install attempts) and I do not have a ".../protect" folder.

|||Yep, Set Local System to be the Service account for SQL Server. This seems to do the trick.|||

Grant Full rights to "NETWORK SERVICE" on the "C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService" folder. Let the system take care of the rest.

(Running the "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)" service under the "Local System" account also works, but don't do this! The "Local System" account has virtually unlimited access to everything on your computer. "Network Service" has just enough rights to get the job done, without opening a security hole the size of the Grand Canyon.)

Hi,

Sorry if this is a naive question, but what's wrong with using Local System?

We've been having problems with the reliability of the Network Service account when installing SSEE on user's machines. Sometimes the account doesn't exist, or modifying the "C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService" just isn't enough.

So we had hoped that by using Local System the installation issues will be resolved.

Do you strongly recommend against this idea?

Thanks

Sam

|||Hi Sam_S, the post by T Hunsaker is correct (although perhaps exaggerated a little), Local System does have more privileges than Network Service. However, if you are running SSEE with no network connectivity, and/or using "user instances" to connect to your databases, this will isolate you from most of the potential security threats out there, and yes I have still seen issues with the suggested fix of granting NetworkService full rights on C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService.|||

More installation woes

We have releases a shrink wrapped winforms application that uses SQL Express as its backend. The product has a fairly large take up, and consequently it is being installed on a large numbre of different machines and configurations. We seem to be having quite a common problem with the installation of SQL Express, we launch the installation from our own installation package with the following command line

SQLEXPR.EXE /qb ADDLOCAL=ALL SQLAUTOSTART=1 INSTANCENAME="OURInstanceName" SQLCOLLATION="Latin1_General_BIN"

We are seeing time after time that the install fails with the message "The SQL Server service failed to start."

I do not have the directory C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Application Data\Microsoft\Protect on my machine. I do have C:\Documents and Settings\[my username]Application Data\Microsoft\Protect so I set the permissions on that as indicated, but it didn't help.

Any other suggestions?

|||Yep, Set Local System to be the Service account for SQL Server. This seems to do the trick.|||

Grant Full rights to "NETWORK SERVICE" on the "C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService" folder. Let the system take care of the rest.

(Running the "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)" service under the "Local System" account also works, but don't do this! The "Local System" account has virtually unlimited access to everything on your computer. "Network Service" has just enough rights to get the job done, without opening a security hole the size of the Grand Canyon.)

Hi,

Sorry if this is a naive question, but what's wrong with using Local System?

We've been having problems with the reliability of the Network Service account when installing SSEE on user's machines. Sometimes the account doesn't exist, or modifying the "C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService" just isn't enough.

So we had hoped that by using Local System the installation issues will be resolved.

Do you strongly recommend against this idea?

Thanks

Sam

|||Hi Sam_S, the post by T Hunsaker is correct (although perhaps exaggerated a little), Local System does have more privileges than Network Service. However, if you are running SSEE with no network connectivity, and/or using "user instances" to connect to your databases, this will isolate you from most of the potential security threats out there, and yes I have still seen issues with the suggested fix of granting NetworkService full rights on C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService.|||

Hello Jalperin,

I am having exactly the same problem (also no directory C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Application Data\Microsoft\Protect); did you find an ultimate solution?

Peter

I am having the same issue "C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService" has the correct permissions (prior to the various install attempts) and I do not have a ".../protect" folder.

More installation issues.

Hey everyone, I just downloaded the express edition and tried to install it. I passed all the sys reqs and it seemed to be going well, but it said that "An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'sqlncli.msi'." The full installation log is below.

Hey Dan. See the following KB article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910229/en-us

See the bullet point numbered 2.1 - "Existing SQL Native Client Installation May Cause Setup to Fail". My guess is that you have a pre-existing SNAC installation and just need to remove it.

HTH,

Thanks Chad, that was the problem, I must have missed it when I removed the rest of the beta items.

-Dan.
