Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) Release A
I downloaded MSDE and am having trouble installing it, no doubt because I do not understand the documentaion (ReadMeMSDE2000A.htm).
When I try to run setup, I get that message that says:
"A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same."
Considering my purpose, do I need a "strong" SA password? If not, how do I get around it? If yes, how do I set it up?
I am a Mac user so I have poor windows skills, please make it as painless as possible for me, thanks!
RonCreate 2 file in the same director with setup.exe
1. Setup.bat
setup.exe /settings Settings.ini /L*v C:/MSDELog.log
2. Settings.ini
[Options]
SAPWD=YourPassword
DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
SECURITYMODE=SQL
DATADIR="C:\MSDE"
TARGETDIR="C:\MSDE"
Run the setup.bat|||I have tried your code and other code like that and in each case it fails. I keep getting this error message that says:
"The instance name specified is not valid."
Note that your code didn't even use the instance name.
In your code you use:
DATADIR="C:\MSDE"
TARGETDIR="C:\MSDE"
Actually on my C drive the folder is called MSDERela. I tried changing your code to indicate that and it still doesn't work. Same error message.
Any other suggestions? Thanks!|||I added the INSTANCENAME and added quote marks to some of the code and it seems to have worked. It produced a folder on my C drive wtih a number of files in it.
Now can someone tell me how to launch MSDE?
Now you know why I call myself SQL_Dummy!sql
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine
C:\msderela>setup sapwd = hillary instancename=mjh targetdir=c:\mike
The program starts to install and seems to get near to the end of instal and then the progress bar starts going backwards and nothing gets installed...any ideas of what I'm doing wrong...I really don't know anything about this at all.
ThanksSounds like you've tried it a couple of time already, huh?
Bounce the box, see what you got :)|||Like I said...I know nothing about this...bounce the box? sorry for being so stupid|||ummm. Reboot? Restart? Unplug and then re-plug? Either one will work ;)|||Originally posted by rdjabarov

Bounce the box, see what you got :)
Is it possible to do if it does not look like a box (laptop)... ;)|||I've rebooted several times and still get the same results...|||What is the OS on your laptop?|||2000 pro|||progress bar going backwards?? check if the monitor is kept upside down??|||Thanks....|||I don't know if this will help but I have attached the error log. I don't understand what it is saying.|||Where is your log file?|||I'm sending the file again|||Do you have enough hard disk space?|||I have 2.43 GB|||I'm wondering if the problem is
C:\msderela>setup sapwd = hillary instancename=mjh targetdir=c:\mike
I pasted the text from Microsoft website:
TARGETDIR="executable_folder_path"
Specifies the folder where the Desktop Engine executable files are to be installed. The default for executable_folder_path when installing a default instance is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Binn\. The default for executable_folder_path when installing a named instance is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$<InstanceName>\Binn\, where <InstanceName> is the name specified in the INSTANCENAME option. The file path for this parameter must end with a backslash (\).
Read the details at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/distsql/distsql_84xl.asp|||Nope...still won't install|||Did you try to click the file Setup.exe for the installation and use the default folder?
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine
computer. How do i create tables and stuff like I do in the standard versio
n
of SQL server? I tried connecting to it with enterprise manager but this
fails. Are you allowed to use enterprise manager with this product?
I created a dts package that deletes several database tables and reimports
the tables once a day. Ultimately I would like to run this package on this
new install of SQL desktop engine. Im not sure how to do this w/o enterprise
manager?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!-- Are you allowed to use enterprise manager with this product?
Yes the only limitation is that it is not shipped with MSDE, but it can be
used if you gotta licence from SQL Server.
Another program could be QALITE which can be downloaded for free.

You can use dtsrun.exe from the commandline to run the package if you
stored it properly(for example in a structured storage file)

interesting - i have never heard of it before.
When I try to use enterprise manager. I am running it from my workstation
and am trying to register the machine that is using the desktop Engine - Whe
n
i try to do the registration it says the server either doesnt exist or i do
not have the right credentials. I am using the sa user name and the password
I gave it when i installed the desktop engine. Does enterprise manage have
to be run on the mackine that is using the desktop engine or is it the same
as a standard version of SQL server where u can manage it on a remote
workstation?
Is there anyway I can schedule my saved DTS package to run on the Desktop
Engine? I would like it to run every morning at 3AM?

Microsoft Access Database Synchronizer (ADS) RTW Help
Someone please help, Ive downloaded and instsalled Microsoft Access Database Synchronizer (ADS) RTW onto my desktop and the files have installed to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.1\Sync\Access. Ive got a device running windows CE 5.0 connected to the desktop via USB. Ive installed all the necessary CAB files onto the device but how do I get the ADS working? What do I have to do with the files installed? I am fairly new to this so can someone please help me. Isnt there supose to be an option in the start menu to run the wizard, i don't seem to be getting this?
Thanks in advance
Sami
You should read the readme.doc in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.1\sync\Access folder. Specifically from page 11 and on it is explained how to get started with the sample wizard.
|||I have looked at this readme doc but the first step says:
Click Start, Programs, and then click Access Database Synchronization Sample Wizard
But this is not in my programs list, why is that? I have installed the msi file and was expecting the program to appear in the start menu automatically as it says in the readme, but it is not. Any ideas?|||
You must do these thing first on your Windows Mobile device (as stated):
First, you should install .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and device cab files on the device for the Access Database Synchronization Sample Wizard.
The device cab file is in your Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.1\Sync\Access folder, ot is called:
sqlce.access.sample.PPC.wce5.armv4i.CAB
Install .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and copy the sqlce.access.sample.PPC.wce5.armv4i.CAB file to your Windows Mobile device (or emulator) and install it. Then it will appear under Start, Programs as stated in the readme.doc
|||I installed .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and device cab files. When I try to install the cab file sqlce.access.sample.PPC.wce5.armv4i.CAB on the device i get the following error:
The file "\My Documents\sqlce.access.sample.PPc.wce5.armv4i.CAB is not a valid Windows CE Setup file.
What could be the problem for this?
|||Your device must be Windows Mobile 5, is that the case?
|||The device is running Windows CE 5.0 not Window Mobile 5. I thought that the software was Windows CE compatible? Is this incorrect?
