I cannot install SQL 2005 on my computer

Hello everybody,

I had installed vs 2005 beta 2 and I wanted to install SQL 2005, so I removed all the components which were installed and were beta edition by control panel and by the tool microsoft supply.

I downloaded sql 2005 but when I wanted to install it, the installation showed me an error that I need to remove all the components that are beta and exited.

The control panel show that there is nothing from vs 2005 beta but the tool try to remove 2 things and has errors. With Everest I see that the components of vs 2005 beta are still in my computer and I cannot remove them.

Someone can help me? I have been searching for an answer for 3 months without any success.

When I try to uninstall the components from Everst it doesn't do anything or start to uninstall and then stop with the error that it cannot write to cache and cannot read property "InstallIds" {"MachineConfiguration","","BAR"} from cache.

It succeed to uninstall programs which I can see at control panel.

Start with http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/uninstall/ and see where that get you. There are a number of components installed by VS 2005 Beta 2 that must be uninstalled manually, this link will help.

I cannot create a brand new MDF (sql server database) with Visual Basic 2005

Hi everybody:

I go to Server Explorer, right click on Data Connection, input the server name (that is, my own computer), give a new name to the database to create, and then inevitably get the error window saying:

An error occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connectiong to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL server does not allow remote connections. (Provider: Named Pipes Provider, error 40, could not open a conection to SQL Server)

So, how to open a connection to SQL server 2005? I looked in the msdn but found absolutely nothing.

Please help

There is a great blog post that discusses common causes of connection errors and the errors that you get when that problem exists. This particular error suggests that SQL Express is not running. Launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and verify that the server is running.

I can not login SQL Server

Hi everybody,
I'm a newbe on SQL Server;
Here my problem is:
In Server Explorer I create a Data Connection to Nortwind. After Creating
the connection I can reach tables of this database.
But: When I want to configure the dataAdapter the problem occurs:
In the configure wizard "Data Soure Login" window comes.
Altought I know the user "sa" password This error comes:
"Login Failed:Not Associated With a Trusted SQL Server Connection. Invalid
Connection String Attribute."
How can I overcome with this problem.
What may be the reason of this problem.
Thanks for any help.

Prowise Software.The most likely reason is that your server is configured for
Windows Authentication only. When you try to use the sa
login for the data source login, you are using SQL Server
authentication. Use Windows Authentication for your
connection. If you need to connect with a SQL login, you
need to change SQL Server's authentication mode to use
Windows and SQL authentication.

hyperlinks in reports and the target problem

Hello Everybody:
We are developing a web site and we have the Reporting Services
Reports nested into a
iframe. One of the reports has the hyperlinks that open the same
report with different parameters.
Unfortunately by default, the report reopens in the top window and I
want to open it in the iframe, so I´ve added the "LinkTarget"
parameter to the URL address that opens the report the first time. It
works perfectly during the first click, but once the report is
reloaded, the LinkTarget parameter is lost therefore the second click
opens the same report in the top window. I have no idea how to pass to
the hyperlinks' definition the "LinkTarget" parameter.
All suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Maciej KiewraHi there Maciej
Have you tried putting the LinkTarget on the URL of the parent page
too. This solved the problem for me.
Hope it does for you!
