UNABLE TO ESTABLISH USER INSTANCE - Visual Web Developer 2005 Edition
Apr 11, 2007
Hi:
I have SQL Serrver 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services running on a machine with Vista Home Premium o/s.
I am trying to build the Personal Web Site Starter Kit using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition but keep running into problems when trying to establish user instance. The error "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The conmnection will be closed" keeps coming up.
The following services are running:
SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)
SQL Server Browser
SQL Server Full Text Search
SQL Server VSS Writer
I note from the documentation that a new instance should be created in the directory :
C:Documents and Settings<User>Local SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS.
Unfortunately that directory does not exist on my Vista machine. Is this a fault?
hello eveyone..i have just downloaded and installed the visaul web developer 2005 express edition and sqlserver 2005 express edition.On top of that i even downloaded and installed the northwind database.But my problem is when i am connecting to the northwind database by clicking toos menu>connect to the database>choose datasource>new connection>..i have provided it with the required information..but as soon as i press "Test Connection" button the following error box displays.. "an error has occured while establishing a connection to the server.when connecting to the sql server2005,this failure may be caused by the fact that under default settings sql server doestnot allow remote connections.(provider:Named piped providers,error:40-couldnot open a connection to sqlserver.)" i have no idea whats is all about..can anyone get me pass this error..
I can't install the client tools of SQL Server 2005 SP2. I'm doing it on a fresh re-install of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (without SP1). It's been a rollercoaster -- I tried it on SP1 and that didn't work, so I decided to uninstall altogether, then couldn't re-install; I had to install most pieces of SQL Server 2005 individually (executing each msi file separately), then I had to install most pieces of SP2 individually, too.
I could get everything to work except for the SP2 client tools. I get this error in the event log:

I see lots of other people with problems posted online, but no answer has helped me. So, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have installed a copy of the SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition a few months ago. Two weeks I tried to apply SP2 and I got an error, and I thought a clean install would solve the problem. So, I went ahead to do the uninstall but I am not able to get pass MsDtsSrvr.exe as shown in the log below,
(1) I have already installed of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition first.
(1) Can I install visual studio 2008 without the 2005 express edition of SQL server? Will be any problems because I don't have express edition of SQL server? Do I need to install the express edition of SQL server as well?
(3) How to use SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition instance on visual studio 2008?
I have recently upgraded a SQL x64 server from Developer Edition to Standard Edition, This succeeded without issue. Following a reboot SQL Server yielded the following message
Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with unable to load SQLBoot.DLL. Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this issue.
I'm trying to register a developer's 2000 pc from my 2005 pc.
i'm not sure this is even something possible from Dev Edition to Dev Edition- I can register a 2000 server just fine.
I can ping him. Both our systems have remote access 'on'. His server is (local), i've tried connecting to it by just entering his machine name and by using just the ip address. The error I get is "timeout expired. The timeout elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."
Am I just not registering this properly? I entered just the ip address in the 'server' box. I am connecting as sa with the pw he gave me. When i connect to my server, I use the ip addressinstance. However, I am not sure what to use for the instance when all I see when I look at his machine is (local).
I use Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition. Anybody help me how can i use reports and subreports with parameters in it. I am new to ASP.NET. Please give me a sample. Thanks in advance.
Can someone here confirm or deny that Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition doesn't work with SQL Server Developer Edition 2005?
I was about to order SQL Server Developer Edition 2005 on Amazon, to use with Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, when I read a user comment that the two are incompatible with each other. Does anyone know for sure if that is true?
What I'm wanting to do is develop an ASP.NET web application on a web host using a SQL Server database. I use VS2003 and SQL Server Enterprise 2000 at work, but I'd like to learn the 2005 editions for this side project. I don't own any of the developer tools/IDEs personally, so I'm trying to find the most affordable way to do this for my home business.
There are conflicting postings everywhere about this. I built a small site using VWD and SQL Server Express, but need to convert to Sql Server 2005 Developer because the DB will exceed 4Gb. Tried to install and could not connect or use from VWD. Tried to uninstall, got into large mess with the byzantine uninstall process, and have now started with a clean machine.
I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer first, then installed VWD Express 2008 without installing SQL Server Express. VWD won't let me connect to an existing database, won't let me add a new database and doesn't even show the Database Tools option under the Tools menu.
Is there someone with specific knowledge that can provide any enlightenment? Would be much appreciated.
I have made my website using SQL Server Express edition. It is totally database driven and manypages use databases to display data. My problem is that after paying for webhosting fees my web host told me that they do not support SQL Server express edition. Instead they have support for MySQL and Ms Access. Except that there is this MS 2000 Database service for an additional cost. Any recommendations what I should do except changing the host? If I pay for MS 2000 Database servicem, will my website work? My user management(i.e ASPNETDB database) was created by Visual Web developer and I don't want to do user management myself. Any advice?
Hi, I am using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition. I wanted to add a database to the Project. When i add it, it says "An error occured while extablishing an connection to the server. When connecting 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error:26- Error locating server / instance specified). Please let me know what is the cause of this error. Initially i downloaded Microsoft Adventure works database and saved the file as .mdf and tried to access it through the data grid. I got the same error message as above. I changed the settings in SQl server to enable remote access and also changed firewall settings to allow SQL server exe files. Then i uninstalled works db and now have disabled remote access and still have the firewall settings to allow SQL server on. Thanks,Vidhya
Is it possible to connect SSRS running on SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition (our production system) to a database running on SQL Server 2005 Developer's edition (our test system)
I am setting up a web server and I'm having some issues with database connections. I am running Windows Server 2k3 and SQL Server 2005. The error I get is when I attempt to connect to the database, it's the following: Cannot open database "dbReseacher" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'userRes'. The following is my connection string: <add name="RESEARCHER" connectionString="Data Source={Sql Server}; Server=THRALL2; Database=dbReseacher; Uid=userRes; Pwd=password;"/> In SQL Server Management Studio, the user userRes is listed under Security -> Logins, but it is not listed under Database -> dbResearcher -> Security -> Users. Originally it was listed under both and this didn't solve the problem. Please let me know if you any ideas or questions that I can answer. Thanks a lot. -Richard
I have downloaded Microsoft Enterprise Library 2005 from microsoft.com. I am trying implement Data Access Layer with visual studio 2003. I am able to access some functions of the DAL but I am not able to establish connection with SQL Server 2000.
Will anyone tell me the solution for the above issue.
Hi I am interested in taking MCTS exam 70-431 for sql server 2005 implementation and maintainance. I have been reading the hardware requirements for the instalation of sql server versions and realise that enterprise and developer editions have same minimum requirements for the operation system. I understand that the Developer Edition includes all the functionality of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, but it is licensed for use as a development and test system, not as a production server.
Also I undestand that the developer edition supports the Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 or later but the enterprise edition does not support this operating system. The evaluation/trial version is for the enterprise edition. Can I use the developer version of sql server 2005 for my practice exercises instead of using the trial version? I have all hardware requirements for the trial enterprise version except that I am using Microsoft windows Xp home edition version 2002 with SP2. I am trying to see if I can use the developer version of sql server 2005 as it is cheaper for me to buy this software than buying the new operating system for my computer. According to the microsoft book for the MCTS exam 70-431 there is a section which states that before you begin you should have Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running on your computer on an NTFS file system (NTFS) partition. Will I still be ok to use the book and be able to do all the tests in the book if i am using the developer version of sql server 2005 with my Microsoft windows Xp home edition than using the trial version which comes with the book?
As an ISV, I want to certify my product on Standard Edition. I am using Developer Edition everywhere. Is there a way I can do the certification using the Developer Edition, or do I need to obtain/purchase a copy of the Standard Edition?
We have an existing installation of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (64bit) that we are ready to go live with and would like to change the edition to Enterprise Edition (64bit). We have purchased all the appropriate licenses. We would like to avoid UN-installing the Developer Edition and RE-installing the Enterprise Edition. There must be some way to change a registry key, provide your serial number via a command line utility or re-run the setup with the license key provided and direct it to just change the edition from Developer to Enterprise and not change any of the other settings like service account, sa account, collation, etc. Any help is most appreciated.
in visual studio web developer express edition 2008 i added a new item this was a sql server database which i called test2. I added a table called comments, and the fields name, email, comments, IPAddress, and Date and in my comments.aspx page i added a name textbox, a texbox for email, a textbox for comments and the submit button i double clicked on the submit button and added the following code Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim mydS As New SqlDataSource mydS.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("testConnectionString1").ToString mydS.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text mydS.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO comments(Name,Email,Comments,IPAddress,Date) VALUES (@Name,@Email,@Comments,@IPAddress,@Date)" mydS.InsertParameters.Add("Name", TextBox1.Text) mydS.InsertParameters.Add("Email", TextBox2.Text) mydS.InsertParameters.Add("Comments", TextBox3.Text) mydS.InsertParameters.Add("Date", Date.Now) mydS.InsertParameters.Add("IPAddress", Request.Params("REMOTE_ADDR")) Dim rowsaffected As Int16 = 0 Try rowsaffected = mydS.Insert Catch ex As Exception Server.Transfer("errors.aspx") Finally mydS = Nothing End Try If rowsaffected <> 1 Then Server.Transfer("errors.aspx") Else Server.Transfer("confirm.aspx") End If End Sub Protected Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged End Sub but when i run it it gives me a problem with this line mydS.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("testConnectionString2).ToString and says something abt unidentified object and I want to know how do i set the connection string or alternatively where?????? and my table does not update with the corresponding values i enter on the webpage. i also changed the authentication mode to forms instead of windows as i was advised but i'm still having a problem
I tried to download PerformancePoint Server Trial Version to ther server today and I got to the configuration point of the Analysis Services Setting, and when I clicked next to proceed with the configuration I got a popup error message: "Microsoft Analysis Server must be Evaluation, Developer or Enterprise Edition".
Now I have SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition Disc (Bought it with Visual Studio 2005) but on the server I have SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition, if I try to run the sql server developer Edition disc, I use the wizard download and it seems that the download is going through the SQL Server entire download, it's like I'm re-downloading SQL Server all over again.
Does that seem right? what is the best approach to work around this probelm?
because we installed the SQL Server 2005-64Bit Developer Edition on a 2003 Server R2-64Bit with 10GB RAM an 2 Xeon. Now we have huge performance problems wich should be better using the Stadard Edition...
I don't know if it is easily possible to upgrade by only inserting the DVD and start the Setup...
I've downloaded and installed both of these (VWD installs both) and have been trying to run through the walkthrough of setting up a web application which supports membership. However, no matter what I do I invariably get errors like the following:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1) I'm concerned why VWD and VSQL express versions don't run correctly out of the box (so to speak). I'm not an expert on configuring these services -- but that's the point of offering these tools to hobbyists: So we can learn about how to make some of these great applications using MS tools. My configuration::
Windows XP SP2 -- clean machine as of about a month ago, never had any dev tools, web servers, or the like on it.
IIS is installed and the service says its running
VSQL and VWD express versions installed (no errors on installation)
SQL server service indicates it is running
.Net 2.0 framework installed (no errors on installation)
Note: I've tried installing on two separate machines. Obviously I'm missing something fundamental.
Would someone please help me go through the million things I [apparently] need to do to configure all these tools so I can get on to actually coding up my first web application? If this is documented somewhere, all I can say is I tried to find it but it certainly wasn't obvious.
Yes I am a newby (or is that newbie) and this is my first post.My Visual Web Developer site work really well on my PC, I read the books took it slowly, created logins and sql tables and then found a good hosting company with Server 2005 ... I though I was one step away from the road to success ... then I hit the big brick wall. Spent hours on Google trying to find some answers without joy ... all I found were lots of users with the same or similar problems ... and some answers that caused more problems !1) Please can someone give my a 'step by step' idiots guide on how to convert my ASPNETDB.MDF content to run on Server 2005. I have Server Management Studio so I am happy about loading the translated files but I don't understand how to break them down into tables and logs.2) Once the files are across can I run a connection string from VWD directly to the tables on the server instead of SQL local ? I assume that is set in web.config !!.... normally I am happy to learn by trial and error. But I can't get around or over this brick wall.Welcome assistance, advice or a ladder ... with simple instructions ?

This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store. The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Unable to connect to SQL Server database. I see that a lot of people get this problem. Can someone sugest a way out?Thnaks in advancePati2005
I am developing an asp.net app using visual web developer. I am using a sql server 2005 db for the back end. I have learned that I have to restart my machine if I want to work with the db in SQL Server 2005 Express after working with it in Visual Web Developer.
I am wondering why this is. I am assuming that the db is locked when it is used with VWD. Is this correct? Am I refering to it's status of "locked" correctly? Should I call this something else?

I develop for a number of clients, and rely on DTS in SQL Server 2000 to transport schemas and data to remote client databases.
I've been using the Express edition of the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio to access these databases lately, but it does not have the DTS feature, which is horribly inconvenient when I need to add tables, etc to remote databases.
If I purchase the Developer Edition of SQL Server 2005, and install the Management Studio on my workstation (my development db is on another machine), will it give me full DTS support for remote databases, or is DTS limited to one db only?
I've searched MS and this obscure info doesn't seem to be there anywhere. Does anyone know this?
