I'm able to install SQL 2005 Express using a template.ini, and use the option DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=2 in order to enable TCP/IP. However, I then manually need to open SQL Server Config Manager > SQL Network Config > Protocols for SQL > TCP/IP > "IP Addresses" tab > change all "enabled" options to "yes".
Is there an automated way to do this?
Thanks,
James
When doing a unattended install of Microsoft SQL Server Express, I have a problem specifing the service to installed to be run under the as local system account.
I'm using: SQLACCOUNT & SQLPASSWORD parameters but it just won't work.
As default SQL Server is installed using the NETWORK SERVICE account, this causes the database to be read-only. What I want is to specifiy in the script that the service should run under the LOCAL SYSTEM account instead. This must also be OS-language independent.
I've tried:
SQLACCOUNT=NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM
SQLACCOUNT=NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SYSTEM
SQLACCOUNT=NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE
SQLACCOUNT=SYSTEM
SQLACCOUNT=BUILT-INSYSTEM
etc.
and even some different SID as:
S-1-5-18
S-1-5-19
All with no password with the SQLPASSWORD parameter:
SQLPASSWORD=
I still getting the same error while validating the service account.
Is there someone else who knows what I'm doing wrong?
Best regards,
Mattias

Using an unattended file (.iss) is there a way to incorporate the SP3 (or any) patch within an .iss file so that there is only only install that incorporates the patch?

I have a desktop application in which I use Sql Server CE.
It all works well on my development machine.
It also works on other machines if I copy the sql dll files in the same path as the .exe
I'm trying to avoid all kinds of user interaction. They don't need to know that I'm about to install Sql Server CE really
So I'm hoping to avoid writing in the manual that the user should install SQLServerCE31-EN.msi, which I think is the correct install package.
So my question is: How do you silently/unattended install Sql Server CE on the desktop?
Hi,
how do Silent Installation with VBscript ? because I have some step for user interactive.
please anyone put an example about this or put a link to.
thank you very much.
I'm trying to do an unattended install of the client components for SLQ2005. I have read the document on doing a install from the command prompt but when I use the "ADDLOCAL" switches I get some components that I don't require. For example, I am using the following command to run the setup - "start /wait <path>setup.exe ADDLOCAL=Client_Components,SQL_Tools90,Connectivity". When I look at the Add/Remove Programs list I can see that it has installed "MSXML 6.0 Parser", "SQL 2005 Backward Compatibilty" and "Office 2003 Web Components". The only components I require are the "SQL Support Files", "SQL Server Native Client" and " CLient Tools". If I run "start /wait <path>setup.exe REMOVE=SQLXML,TOOLS_BC_DEP" it will remove "Office 2003 Web Components" and "SQL 2005 Backward Compatibilty" but not the "MSXML 6.0 Parser". How can I get rid of this?
Thanks for any help.
I've looked through every source of material on SQL Server Express unattended installs that I could get my hands on, but so far, I've come up with nothing that shows how to set the server engine's TCP port to 1433.
Since the SQL Server setup is part of a (considerably) larger install, requiring the customer to set this by hand is not really acceptable.
Is there a way to do this with a command-line parameter (etc)?
Thanks in advance

Good afternoon,
I have written a .NET app that kicks off an unattended install of SQL Server Express Advanced. After the install, the same app tries to connect to SQL Express adn run a script that creates a database plus a few other things.
However, the problem I am having is that my app cannot connect. I get the error:
"An error has occurrred while establishing a connection to the server. This failure may be casued by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections."
However, the unattended install goes great. No problems there. I know this because I can Open SSMS, run queries, created DB's, etc. I also know that it is not the remote connections issue because the unattended install is set to allow remote connections (both names pipes and TCP/IP).
So, why can't i connect? I don't need to reboot after the install do I? Please tell me i don't...and please tell me it is something simple I am overlooking.
Thanks...
Hello SQL Knowledgeable Crowd,
I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 from the command line without using an .ini file and without having IIS installed. I know that I need to pass all the parmeters and I think I have them all.
My .bat file will install when IIS is installed, but I can not get it to install without IIS. The GUI gives me a warning and allows me to ignore this, but I can't figure out the switch that will do the same thing.
Can someone please point out my mistakes.

Hi all,
After doing a silent install of the MSDE, my application cannot access the database that is loaded on the local machine -
I am getting an error stating - 'login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated witha trusted SQL server connection'
Is there are parameter or something that i need to change in my UDL??
or is there a way to tell the server to work in non-trusted inviroment via the OSQL program???
thanks

I can't get SQL Server 2005 to update to SP2 in either silent or unattended mode. None of the standard switches work. I've used -s, -m, /q, /qb, and /qn all with no favorable result. I am still prompted for user input at every screen. Suprisingly I've had no such problems with the express edition, just the server itself. Is there a way to make this thing work? Here is the line I've been feeding to the installer.
"<SERVER_PATH>SQL Serversql2005SP2.exe" start /wait setup.exe /qb /settings "C:SQLSettings.ini" /L*v "C:SQLInstall.log" /norestart
I have also tried the following since it looks like the file that is unpacked by the SP2 install is actually hotfix.exe
"<SERVER_PATH>SQL Serversql2005SP2.exe" start /wait hotfix.exe /qb /settings "C:SQLSettings.ini" /L*v "C:SQLInstall.log" /norestart
I also have tried the following generics:
"<SERVER_PATH>SQL Serversql2005SP2.exe" -s
"<SERVER_PATH>SQL Serversql2005SP2.exe" -m
"<SERVER_PATH>SQL Serversql2005SP2.exe" /q
Hi,
I'm doing a silent install of SQLServer Express 2005 as explained in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx .
I am setting DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=2 because I want to enable TCP/IP protocol at install time.
However it seems that per default SQLServer is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP ports, forcing me to contact the SQLBrowser.
How can I switch to a fixed port, say 1433, at install time?
Thanks, in advance,
Dirk.
I'm still doing some research but I thought I'd slap a quick post up here anyway. I'm trying to create a small 'setup and deployment' project in studio 2005 that includes a prerequisite (sqlexpress). The one thing I've noticed is that there is not an option to install this silently by providing the executable with the appropriate switches. I could easily write my own small utility to do the work or I could use a third-party component like NSIS, however, I'm quite simply amazed that this feature was left out of studio 2005. It's quite possible I'm missing something...any feedback is appreciated 100 times over!
Thanks
Corey
I'm currently building an MSI to install SQL Express and want to install as a new instance, not the default instance, and not into the SQLEXPRESS instance either.
I saw the package.xml for Express in my VS Studio install. How would I go about using this? Or would I have to modify the MSI via Orca or something? I hope not. Wouldn't have a clue where to start.
In short, regardless if there is already an SQL Express instance on the machine or not, I need to silently install a fresh new instance of the server engine only, no client tools except sqlcmd.exe
I have seen that MS would advise that everyone use the SQLEXPRESS instance but I don't agree with it. I don't want other application installs trampling over my server settings and I don't want to trample over others. For example, expose others to TCPIP and CLR when they don't need it, and conversely others swithing them off in a shared server instance when I do need them.
Yet another roadblock: Does the standard SQL SE 2005 not install any of the query commands? (isql, isqlw, or osql.exe's). I could have sworn that they were, but every time I go to test the install on my VM none of them are ever installed. If it doesn't is it included in the advanced version of it (which I'd really rather not do)? If still no what's the easiest option I still have open? Can I have my app connect to the master db and run a restore script from the app? I've been arm wrestling with this install for over a week and it's just about brow-beaten me completely.
TIA,
Jayyde
Hi!
I'm trying to do the following in a batch-file:
1) Install SQLExpress unattended providing settings in an .ini-file
2) Run an osql-command which creates a database and some tables etc.
My batch-script looks like the following:
REM Install SQLExpress
start /wait .SQLExpresssetup.exe /qb /settings %CD%mysettings.ini
osql -S (local)MyExpress -U sa -P passwd -i .createdb.sql
...
The problem is that the SQLExpress setup updates the %PATH%, but the change is not visible in my cmd-context . So, the osql-command fails.
It seems like I have to start a new cmd-window from the windows shell to get the updated environment.
Is there any way to make the environment changes visible to my script?
This might be more a sort of general batch-programming topic, but any help is appreciated. :)
Regards,
Sigurd Ringbakken
Hi All,
I am having an issue with SQL 2005 unattended install, I cannot see where in the template.ini file you can specify the TCP port number for SQL 2005 to listen to I want to change it to a specific port number, I know you can do this in an unattended install on SQL 2000.
Also in an unattended install of SQL 2000 and 2005 is there any way you can specify the database and transaction logs location for new databases to be installed on another drive then the system databases. I know you can change this later in SQL server properties but I wanted this to be done during the install or is there a T-SQL script which can do this after?
Any help on this will be great.
Cheers
Raxso
I am setting up a template.ini for my SQL2005 installs. The documentation on the INI file is great up until the "SQLCOLLATION" section.
How do I choose the SQL Collation: "Dictionary order, case-insensitive, uppercase preference, for use with 1250 Character Set" ?
SQLCOLLATION=???????
Hello,
I'm using the latest version of SQLEXPR32.EXE found here :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=31711d5d-725c-4afa-9d65-e4465cdff1e7&DisplayLang=en
Here is the command line that fails :
"sqlexpr32.exe -q /norebootchk /qn reboot=ReallySuppress
INSTANCENAME=MYINSTANCE SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=mypassword SQLAUTOSTART=1"
Interrestingly, when the following command line is used to launch the setup,
it completes successfully :
"sqlexpr32.exe /norebootchk reboot=ReallySuppress INSTANCENAME=MYINSTANCE
SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=mypassword SQLAUTOSTART=1"
The only difference between the two is the quiet switches used in the first
case : "-q" and "/qn"
After spending some time to understand what is going wrong, it seems that in
quied mode, Setup Prerequisite 'SQL Native Client' is not installed. Then
the remaining part of the setup fails because of this.
Any help appreciated.
Hello All, I am trying the following script to upgrade SQL Server 2005 SP1 to SP2. I have an Active Passive cluster configuration. I have default instances of SQL Server. I am using the following script.
start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /allinstances /quiet.
The sql server install fails to run. When I used the above command with just
start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /quiet still the summary.txt file came with authentication success and that is all. I changed the above script and did
start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /instancename=instancename of the cluster
This worked, however the install patched the passive node (DB engine, all the cluster unaware components) but failed to patch the DB engine on the Active node. I had to run the SQL Server sp2 install manually but still it did not patch the DB engine on the primary node
1. Can someone please help me with this issue as I want the unattended install to work. so it installs both active and passive node. I will post the final output and also the ADS script to do this as a bonus if this works.
Here is the summary.txt file.

Hi,
I'm currently trying to develop an unattended installation of the Client Tools to be distributed to developers workstations.
All is well on 'clean' machines, but the problems arise when an instance of SQL Server Express is already present. The install fails, and the reason isn't clear from the log files.
I know Express installs a couple of the Client Components (like Config Manager), and I believe this is what it blocking me.
Has anyone tried this scenario?
Would I be best to REMOVE the Client_Components first, and then re-install them with SSMS etc.? Or is there a better method?
I have to leave the Express Database instance untouched as I'm not responsible for its installation or maintenance.
Thanks,
Gordon.
Hi there,
I am trying to create an un-attended SQL 2005 Express install. I have successfully made my own template.ini file to install SQL the way I like but I cannot find a way to make it install with the "Ad hox remote queries" option enabled.
Is there anyway to do this? I can't seem to find any switches in the INI file to allow this.
Thanks
Joseph Beckett
The scenario I have is as follows:
Our product ships with a bootstrapper that installs SQL Server 2005 silently for our clients - basically it's a pre-req which we load for them if it's not already installed.
The bootstrapper supplies the service account identity parameters for the SQL Server install command line in English. It supplies the local system account (NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM).
The problem occurs when we tried to install the product onto a French version of XP. We got the error message "SQL Server setup could not validate the service accounts. Either the service accounts have not been provided for all the services being installed, or the specified username or password is incorrect. For each service, specify a valid username, password, and domain, or specify a built-in system account."
Having read the page http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx#Localized_service_names we have discovered that the system account identity has a different name for French (AUTORITE NTSYSTEM) along with some other languages ... but we're not sure how to resolve the problem.
Can anyone out there tell me whether we ...
1) Can get the machine being installed on to tell us the local system account identity so we can substitute it into our command line in the bootstrapper?
2) Have to write a different bootstrapper for each language that names the local system account identity differently?
3) Have overlooked some other solution?
Also, does anyone know how many languages and which they are that give the local system account a name that's different to "NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM"??
Thanks,
Sara
<EDIT>
Sorry, omitted a vital bit of information. The bootstrapper is written in C++.
We know the .NET code to retrieve an NT account given a well known SID. Can we do the same in C++ somehow??
</EDIT>
Hi,
I have a script that performs an unattended installation of SQL Server and works fine.
However, if I un-install via the control panel all the files are removed apart from the databases that are created by me when SQl server was installed. This is good and ensures data is not deleted.
The files left over are in the following directory:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData
and contains:
MyDatabase.mdf
MyDatabase_log.LDF
The problem I have is after performing the re-installtion of SQL server (unattended) I am unable to create a new database with the same name (in this instance called "myDatabase").
The actual files are physically there so this is the reason a new database with the same name cannot be creacted.
Again this is ok again because it ensures I cannot overwrite existing data. However I am unable to re-attach this database to SQl server so I can continue to use it!
The question is:
How do I make this database usable again after an unattended install? Is there a parameter I am missing?
Below are the commands I use that are passed to the installation of SQL Server as command line parameters:
#define SQL_SILENT "-q /passive /norebootchk /qn reboot=ReallySuppress"
#define SQL_USERNAME "username=MyUserName"
#define SQL_COMPANYNAME "companyname=MyCompanyName"
#define SQL_ADDLOCAL "addlocal=ALL"
#define SQL_DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS "disablenetworkprotocols=0"
#define SQL_INSTANCENAME "instancename=MSSQLSERVER"
#define SQL_SQLAUTOSTART "SQLAUTOSTART=1"
#define SQL_SECURITYMODE "SECURITYMODE=SQL"
#define SQL_SAPWD "SAPWD=#Password#"
#define SQL_SAVESYSDB "1"
#define SQL_USESYSDB ""
#define SQL_INSTALLSQLDIR ""
#define SQL_INSTALLDATADIR ""
#define SQL_PARAMETERS SQL_SILENT + " " + SQL_USERNAME + " " + SQL_COMPANYNAME + " " + SQL_ADDLOCAL + " " + SQL_DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS + " " + SQL_INSTANCENAME + " " + SQL_USESYSDB + " " + SQL_INSTALLSQLDIR + " " + SQL_INSTALLDATADIR + " " + SQL_SAVESYSDB + " " + SQL_SQLAUTOSTART + " " + SQL_SECURITYMODE + " " + SQL_SAPWD
The last four commands I have played around with but for some reason SQL Server service will not start when these are used! (This is a different issue though!).
Any advice would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks
Paul

Hi,
I would be very grateful if someone could take a look at my command line install and offer advice on if I am doing it correctly.
The reason I am asking is because I cannot seem to get the server installed without having errors during the installation:
"The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service terminated with service-specific error 17113 (0x42D9)"
Looking at the server error log indicates that master.mdf was not in the data directory (I have however specified a different data directory for ease of backup by our software and this is created during the install but does not have this database in the data directory - it is however in the template data directory!
I also get this error when the SQL Server service is started:
"The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service terminated with service-specific error 3417 (0xD59)."
All advice is welcome. Please see below my batch file. Also, if you think I should do this in a different way then please let me know. I basically want to install SQL server on a customer computer and automate the install so the custoemr does not need to enter any information.
The goal of this install is:
[1] Deply a custom .Net application and SQL server at the same time on the same computer without user input.
[2] Allow remote .Net applications (designed by myself also) to connect over a LAN (and later maybe over a WAN) to the database to the above database.
The command line is this (I have also included the batch file I am usign below). For ease of reading I have put the parameters on a new line below:
setup.exe /qb
username="CustomerUsername"

Hey all,
Cool place! Has anyone deployed SQL Express silently using one click and an attached a smart client DB from within the app ... would love to see some of the best practices or horror stories! Just kidding... :) I'm about to deploy a smart client using SQL Express and could use some tips from someone who has been there.
Thanks in advance,
Bill
I am using installshield to distribute SQL Server 2005 Express. I have the SQLEXPR.EXE file and I want to run it in /qb mode so the user can see the pretty dialogs pop up but not have to click anything.
