Can't Install Reporting Services And Full-Text Search On Windows Vista
Apr 26, 2007
When I install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2 on Windows Vista, Reporting Services and Full-Text Search are not being installed. My user account is configured as a Standard User. When I initiate the installation, I'm prompted for the password for the administrator user account.
During the System Configuration Check, I get a warning for the IIS Feature Requirement action. The associated message says: "Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features. Without IIS, some SQL Server features will not be available for installation. To install all SQL Server features, install IIS from Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel or enable the IIS service through the Control Panel if it is already installed, and then run SQL Server Setup again. For a list of features that depend on IIS, see Features Supported by Editions of SQL Server in Books Online."
KB Article 920201 ("You receive a warning message on the System Configuration Check page of the SQL Server 2005 Setup program on a computer that is running Windows Vista or a Server Core installation of Windows Server "Longhorn"") seems to address this issue. I used the Windows Features applet and selected all of the Internet Information Services items that were listed in the KB article; however, the "Windows Authentication" item was not in my list. ("IIS Metabase" and "IIS 6 WMI" were in my list but were worded differently--"IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility" and "IIS 6 WMI Compatibility", respectively--but I selected them both.) When I re-ran the SQLEXPR_ADV installer, I got the same warning...and Reporting Services and Full-Text Search were still not installed.
I went back into the Windows Features applet and selected all of the remaining unselected "Internet Information Services" items, and then re-ran the SQLEXPR_ADV installer. I got the same warning...and Reporting Services and Full-Text Search were still not installed.
It's frustrating that there is no obvious reason or error message as to why Reporting Services and Full-Text Search are not being installed. Are these features compatible with Windows Vista? Does anyone have an idea as to what the problem might be?
I was struggling with installing reporting services from Sql 2005 dev edition on windows vista. I somehow managed to install the SQLExpress edition for Reporting Services, but now i want to unistall it and install Sql Reporting Services from Sql 2005 Dev edition CD.
When I try to unistall the SQlExpress Reporting Servie instance, the screen which says unistalling components disappears in a couple of secs and when i refresh the list of programs installed under Programs and features, i can still see SQLExpress Reporting Servies, i do not understand why this is happening and probably this is the reason behind not able to see the Reproting Services check box ungreyed when installing SQL 2005 dev edition. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME ON THIS PLEASE?
I have installed SQL 7.0 on three servers but all of them have the FULL INDEX SEARCH grayed out. I cannot start it . BOL says that if the Microsoft Search Service is installed at the Custom installation FULL TEXT SEARCH can be enabled. But which do I have to install in Custom, NT or SQL.
I am working on a stand-alone windows application in which I need to provide full text search capability. I was using SQL Express edition and was planning to deploy the database (.mdf) with the application. Is it possible to enable Full Text search for a database which does not belong to a database server (embedded with the app)? If yes the how can you do it? If its not possible then what are the alternatives/options of data-storage for a windows app which will allow me to enable Full Text search? Thanks for your help.
I'm running sql server on XP at the moment. I want to make use of procedures like FREETEXTABLE and CONTAINS for my local site search engine so I need to have the full text search service installed. The problem is that when I want to add this component by trying to use the sql server standard edition cd the option that says 'Upgrade,remove, or add components to an existing instance of sql server' is grayed out, meaning I can't pick this option. What must I do to get this working since the only available option is to insall a new instance of sql server or client tools? Need help A.S.A.P
After installing SQL Express via the executable provided by MS successfully, I tried to go back and add full text search as well as replication. After going through the steps of add/remove - change ..... and being able to select both features after I hit next it then gives me an error trying to find
no big deal if I had the .msi but since it was installed via the .exe I don't have that file. I also did a search on all drives for that file. I also tried just selecting the full text search option. I looked on microsoft.com to see if I could search for the .msi there but no luck.
Steps to install SSX (& Reporting Serivces) on 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate
I struggled quite a bit over the past few days to complete this install. The sequence of steps is less obvious than those for Windows XP Pro on a 32 bit machine.
I recorded all the steps in one place in cookbook style for non-technical (but database capable) users like myself. I have referenced appropriate other postings and sources for detail steps. These are steps I found useful, you may be in a different situation.
My environment is as follows: -New HP dv9000 w/ 2GHz and 2GB memory -Factory installed Windows Vista Ultimate. Note this includes .NET Framework 2.0 so I did not have to deal with installing that. -I have no extant databases or SQL Server that I am trying to convert or upgrade!
Setup Steps Before Install: 1) Turn off User Account Control. At present, I am a one-user operation with close control over my system and there seemed to be issues with getting reporting services set up right with UAC. I may come back and modify this step later on and certainly would change this for any releasable systems.
1a)Go to Control Panel Home --> User Accounts --> Turn User Account Control on or off. 1b)Unselect Use User Acount Control. 2)Set up your IIS 7.0 for Reporting Services. IIS 7.0 has IIS 6.0 Compatibility features turned off out of the box. You will turn them on with this step. This is needed for both Reporting services and to enable the Adminscripts that are used in Step 3 below.
2a) Use the Control Panel --> Programs --> Turn Windows features on and off function. This is quite nicely desribed with screen shots at: http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=2&subtabid=25&i=957 These steps worked for me although they are labeled Vista Beta 2.
3)Set up your 64 bit machine to run 32 bit ASP.NET This capability is needed to make sure you pass the System Configuration Check for Reporting Services. I don't know the full implications of this step and wonder if it might eventually bite me if I have to flip-flop between 32 and 64 bit ASP.NET or have them both run at the same time.
3a) Open a command line window by: Start --> Accessories -- Cmd Prompt 3b) In this window type: cscript %SystemDrive%inetpubAdminScriptsadsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1
At some point, you may wish to go back to 64 bit. For that, see the posting by MihaelaE as an Answer in the SQL Server Reporting Services Forum under a thread started by fagster on 3/8/2007.
Now to actually install SQL Server.
1) Download the 64 bit SSX. This step fooled me for a while as the 64-bit downloads are 'below the fold' on the web page.
1a) Go to the SSX download page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/
1b) Scroll down the page and below Step 5, Register, you will see this text which takes you to the download you want: "* For the 64-bit install of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, click here." 1c) Follow the "click here" to get the download.
2) Install the package from step 1c and you will get SQL Server Express.
2a) The install may fail and complain about not finding a valid SQL Server Native Client Install, sqlncli_x64.msi. You will have to extract the files manually and then run the sqlncli_64.msi package by itself. Then you can go back to step 2 and should be successful. To do this, see post of Mike Wachal on 4/5/2007 to SQL Server Express Forum, titled "Cannot Install SQL Server Express on Vista Ultimate -- cannot find MS SQL Server Native Client".
3) Now add in the SQL Server Management Studio Express 64 bit version.
3a) Go to the SSX download page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/
3b) Scroll down the page and below Step 5, Register you will see this text which takes you to the download you want: "* For the 64-bit install of SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express, click here."
3c) Follow the "click here" to get the download.
4) Now add the SQL Server Reporting Services.
4a) Go to the SSX download page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/
4b) Scroll to Step 3 Download and Install (in the middle of the page) and download SQL Server Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2. 4c) Install, but at the Feature Selection screen, disable all components EXCEPT Reporting Services. You already have the other components installed. 4d) In the install, you will get a screen called "Report Server Installation Options". Go ahead and select the "Install but do not configure the server" radio button.
5) Go ahead and configure SQL Server Reporting Services. I'm not highly skilled in this area so I recommend the SQL Server Express Video "Learning Video 10: Getting Started with Reporting Services". This is found at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/learning/default.aspx I found this video to be cogent and useful.
That's what it took me to get SQL Server Express installed with reporting services on a 64 bit Vista Ultimate system. Sorry if this is so long but I wanted to cover all the steps that hung me up.
To forum moderators: If I have any errors that will lead people astray, I'm more than happy to correct them.
This posting is "AS IS" with no warrantees and caveat emptor.
When I try to install Reporting Services on my Vista x64 machine, the following happens: In the System Configuration Check, there is a "ASP.Net Version Registration Requirement" warning. On the following section, Reporting Services is greyed out so cannot be installed.I have found many posts on this matter and all of them suggest going into "Turn Windows Features on / off" and enabling various IIS7 features. However, even though I have ticked every possible IIS7 feature the problem remained.
I have also installed SP2, but again this didn't help when I returned to the original installation.
I have seenfound several posts about Full text Search and looked at the BOL but havn't found a simple how-to. If anyone could point me to or post instructions on configuring Full Text Search in SQL Express W/ Adv Services it would be great.
So far I have completed the following:
Created my database using SQL Expr w/ Adv Services.Database is monted in a SQL server instance not a user instance.In SMSE under database>properties>files checked the box "Use full-text indexing".What now. I have seen posts referncing using the template explorer in SMSE and the Full Text Index templates.
I see four templates in my template explorer related to FTS . Create Full-text Catalog Create Full-text Index Start Full Population Stop Population
My understanding is that you get 1 catalog per database and you can create 1 index per table in that database. The catalog is a container for the indexices.
Are the templates just generic sql statements to provide an example of what to run? I would like to see some examples specific to SQL Express.
i'm a new to vista and also with sql server 2005 reporting services ..
i was able to install all the tools in sql2005 express edition except reporting services ..gives a message IIS required ..even though the IIS is running and able to browse http://localhost ..
can any one give me an idea , how to install reporting services on vista with IIS7
I've tried to install all features in the SQL Server 2005 to run on Windows Vista. The Reporting Services failed to install. I think it is because of the IIS 7.0 that 's not recognised by SQL Server.
Is there anyone who have had the same problem and is there anyone who have a suggestion to solve this problem?
I have been through virtually every last posting on installing SQL Server Express with Advanced Services in this site and still have no success accessing the Reporting Services site: http://localhost.reports$sqlexpress. I get a the correct background to the site as in the tutorials, but only get "ERROR - unable to connect to the remote server", which may be indicative because this is all installed on my local machine (Dell AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4000+ 2.11 Ghz, 1GB, Windows Ultimate). I have gone through How to install ... on a Windows Vista-based computer, KB934164, and most recently, How to configure .. to allow remote connections, kb 914277, in hopes of addressing the "remote server" issue. I still can't get past this obstacle. PLEASE HELP!! :-)
Hye all, running WHS 2008, I try to install SQL Server 2005 with reporting services, but on install, in "components to install" wizard, the reporting services box is hided. I can't check this box :/ Do you know whats wrong ? if anyone knows the problem, thanks in advance.
Hi. I'm trying to get full-text search working on my SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services and am having problems. I thought that I installed it correctly, and when I look in the services running, I see it SQL Server Fulltext Search(MSSQLSERVER). Also note that I have SQL Server 2005 Standard installed on this same laptop. I don't know if that Full text Search applies to the Standard, Express or both.
What I do see is that if I connect to the database engine named <mylaptop>, I can see the version is 9.0.1399 and I can see the check box to enable full-text indexing in a particular databases properties. When I run SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'), I get a 1.
However, when I connect to the engine name <mylaptop>SQLExpress, I se the version is 9.0.3042, and I don't see the same check-box to enable full-text indexing. When I run SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'), I get a 0.
I've never tried this before so I know I'm probably missing something basic. But, I have searched quite a bit and not found my answer. So, I'm looking to you for help.
Hi - I'm short of SQL experience and hacking my way through creating a simple search feature for a personal project. I would be very grateful if anyone could help me out with writing a stored procedure. Problem: I have two tables with three columns indexed for full-text search. So far I have been able to successfully execute the following query returning matching row ids: dbo.Search_Articles @searchText varchar(150) AS SELECT ArticleID FROM articles WHERE CONTAINS(Description, @searchText) OR CONTAINS(Title, @searchText) UNION SELECT ArticleID FROM article_pages WHERE CONTAINS(Text, @searchText); RETURN This returns the ArticleID for any articles or article_pages records where there is a text match. I ultimately need the stored procedure to return all columns from the articles table for matches and not just the StoryID. Seems like maybe I should try using some kind of JOIN on the result of the UNION above and the articles table? But I have so far been unable to figure out how to do this as I can't seem to declare a name for the result table of the UNION above. Perhaps there is another more eloquent solution? Thanks! Peter
Our clients want to be able to do full text search with a single letter. (Is the name Newton, Nathan, Nick?, Is the ID N1, N2...). Doing a single character full text search on a table work 25 out of 26 times. The letter that doesn't work is 'n'. the WHERE clause CONTAINS(full_text_field, ' "n*" ') returns all rows, even rows that have no 'n' in them anywhere. Adding a second letter after the "n" works as expected.
Here is an example
create table TestFullTextSearch ( Id int not null, AllText nvarchar(400) ) create unique index test_tfts on TestFullTextSearch(Id); create fulltext catalog ftcat_tfts;
I have a scenario of where the standard Full-Text search identifies keywords but Semantic Search does not recognize them as keywords. I'm hoping to understand why Semantic Search might not recognize them. The context this is being used in medical terminology and the specific key words I noticed missing right off the bat were medications.
For instance, if I put the following string into a FT indexed table
'J9355 - Trastuzumab (Herceptin)' AND 'J9355 - Trastuzumab emtansine'
The Semantic Search recognized 'Herceptin' and 'Emtansine' but not 'Trastuzumab'
Nor in
'J8999 - Everolimus (Afinitor)'
It did not recognize 'Afinitor' as a keyword.
In all cases the Base of Full-Text did find those keywords and were identifiable using the dmvsys.dm_fts_index_keywords_by_document.It does show the index as having completed.
why certain words might not be picked up while others would be? Could it be a language/dictionary issue? I am using English and accent insensitive settings?
would you use sql server "full text search" feature as your site index? from some reason i can't make index server my site search catalog, and i wonder if the full text is the solution. i think that i wll have to you create new table called some thing like "site text" and i will need to write every text twice- one the the table (let's say "articles table") and one to the text. other wise- there is problems finding the right urlof the text, searching different tables with different columns name and so on... so i thought create site search table, with the columns: id, text, url and to write every thing to this table. but some how ot look the wrong way, that every forum post, every article, album picture or joke will insert twice to the sqr server... what do you think?
I have installed the Adobe iFilter 11 64 bit and set the path to the bin folder. I still cannot find any text from the pdf files. I suspect I am missing something trivial because I don't find much when I Bing for this so it must not be a common problem.Here is the code.

I have Sql server 2005 SP2. I enabled it for Full Text search. Substring search where i enter *word* doesn't return any row. I have a table testtable where description has word Extinguisher.
If i run a query with *ting* it doesn't return any row. select * from testtable where contains(description,'"*xting*"') ;
But it works if i do select * from testtable where contains(description,'"Exting*"') ;
The Full text search document says it supports substring search. Is it an issue with sql server 2005?Please help.
I am using Sql Server 2014 Express edition.I have a table with a varchar(max) column. I have created a full text search that use the stoplist "system". column has this struct: xxx.yyy.zzz.... where xxx, yyy, zzz... are numbers, like 123.345.123123.366456...I can have rows like that:
select * from Mytable where contains(MyColumn, '123.345.')
I gues the contains would return all the rows with column contains 123.345, but this does not return all the expected rows, only one row.I have tried to replace "." with "-" but the result is the same.I have also tried with '123.345.*. In this case I have got more results, but no all the exptected rows.If I use this query:
select * from MyTable where MyCOlumn like '123.345.%';
I want to ask a question, I am using Windows Vista Home Premium Edition in my notebook, I installed Visual Studio 2005 in it, it is working properly. Now I want to install SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition in it, in the begining it was giving me errors while installing Sql Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, but then it installed properly, but the problem is I cant see the "SQL Server Management Studio" in installed SQL Server, I think it is not installed properly.
Hi, i'm trying to do a full text search on my site to add a weighting score to my results. I have the following database structure: Documents: - DocumentID (int, PK) - Title (varchar) - Content (text) - CategoryID (int, FK) Categories: - CategoryID (int, PK) - CategoryName (varchar) I need to create a full text index which searches the Title, Content and CategoryName fields. I figured since i needed to search the CategoryName field i would create an indexed view. I tried to execute the following query: CREATE VIEW vw_DocumentsWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT dbo.Documents.DocumentID, dbo.Documents.Title, dbo.Documents.[Content], dbo.Documents.CategoryID, dbo.Categories.CategoryNameFROM dbo.Categories INNER JOIN dbo.Documents ON dbo.Categories.CategoryID = dbo.Documents.CategoryID GOCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX vw_DocumentsIndexON vw_Documents(DocumentID) But this gave me the error: Cannot create index on view 'dbname.dbo.vw_Documents'. It contains text, ntext, image or xml columns. I tried converting the Content to a varchar(max) within my view but it still didn't like. Appreciate if someone can tell me how this can be done as surely what i'm trying to do is not ground breaking.
Hello everyone ! I want to perform Full Text Search with SQL Server 2000. My documents (.doc, .xls, .txt, .pdf) are stored in a SQL Server field which is binary (the type of the column is image). I would like to know, how you can extract pieces of text from the documents. Example: I have a ASPX page with codebehind in C# making the search in a table in SQL server that is full text indexed. I make a search looking for the word "peace", than SQL server will take care about the search and return it to me the rows that match with that. But also I'd like to extract the 50 characters before and after where sql server found the word "peace" to show in the result page. Does anyone has any idea how to work around it ? Best regards.

I'm currently running Windows Vista x64 and SQL server 2005 on an HP laptop with a AMD Turion 64 processor. I've install all of the Windows Vista x64 update so far with no issues. However, I'm unable to install SQL server 2005 SP2 via Windows updates.
I was able to successfully download the service pack with no issues and it is currenly on my machine ready to install. The system does take a check prior to the install process beginning to perform the install.
I continuely get and "Error Code A91" when the install process is running. As a result the install does not complete successfully. When I used the "Get Help" option I get a list of possible error conditions but none of them seem be useful. I checked each one and none of them provide any help with a solution.
I've successful installed SP2 on Vista x32 system with no problem. Is this a "Windows Update" issue?
Hi, I'm having a problem installing SQL2005 Developer on Windows Vista.
At the System Configuration check page, I'm getting the IIS Feature Requirement item telling me IIS is not installed or disabled. This is not the case.
I have read article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920201 and switched on the IIS components as specified.
I've tried installing with Firewall, virus checker etc switched off. Every time I get the same problem. This is an issue, as I specifically need Reporting Services installed.
have removed bsn contact manager and all sql related files from previous installation attempts, rebooted so should be a clean install - but still it fails
what did I miss or what am I doing wrong?
here are the logs with ref to the two items that fail
