instances of MSDE

I can install instances of MSDE without any problem. But
for some reasons the password (or the instance) get
corrupted after I try to upsize a table from MS Access to
an existing database in MSDE (I'll stop doing this).
But now I have multiple instances which I would like to
clean up. Does anybody know how to uninstall them?
Thanks
Perry
Hi ,
You can use the following information to uninstall msde.
A)Remove the following registry:
1) Remove the following ID_Number from your MSDE 2.0 instance
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\ID_Number
-- It has key value name 'ProductName' which displays the instance name.
For example, "ProductName" = Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine
(MYINSTANCE)
2)If you had patch applied on this MSDE 2.0 instance, you need to remove
ID_Number
for that MSDE 2.0 instance:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Patches\ID_Number
3) For MSDE 2.0 Default instance, remove
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
For MSDE 2.0 named instance, remove
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\Your_instance_name
4)If you have the following key points to MSDE 2.0 productGUID, then remove
the
InstanceComponentSet.x
For example, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\Component
SetInstanceComponentSet.x
-- For example, InstanceComponentSet.1 the has value matching the
productGUID of
sqlrun01.msi.
5)Remove :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\Produ
ctGUID
-- the Product GUID which refers to your MSDE 2.0 instance.
6)Remove the Sql server service key:
For MSDE 2.0 default instance, remove
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\MSSQLServer
For MSDE 2.0 named instance, remove
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\MSSQL$Your_Instance_Nam
e
7)Remove the Sql server agent service key:
For MSDE 2.0 default instance, remove
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\SQLServerAgent
For MSDE 2.0 named instance, remove
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\SQLAgent$Your_Instance_
Name
B)Remove the MSDE 2.0 instance data and program install directory:
For example, G:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL$Your_instanceName\data
For example, G:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL$Your_instanceName\binn
Now rerun the msde setup from the command prompt

Instance specified not valid

Hi,

I'm trying to install MSDE SP3 which I downloaded from MS at http://www.asp.net/msde/.
Following the instructions as best I can I unzipped the file into a Folder now called MSDE located on C: I then went to a command prompt and typed in the command given to start the install:

setup SAPWD=testsite SecurityMode=SQL

Hit enter and the installer started up and ran for a few secs and then came back with

The Instance named specified is invalid

There was no mention of including an instance name or the format for it.

Suggestions please?

Also, if I want to completly uninstall MSDE if I need to how would I do it?

Thanks,
BobWell, I had this message come up if I tried to run setup for the instance that was already on the system.

I used this setup to install msde on my machine.

setup instancename="netsdk" sapwd="your password for sa" securitymode=sql

Reason for using instance name netsdk was that it seems that SDK kit needs this instance to install pubs and nwind database.

After executing this i did not get any error messages but when I started service manager I could not see any servers listed. It took me solid two hours to come up with idea to look into error log and there it was.

Instance not showning up

Hello,
I have MSDE installed on the Win2003 server named 'server1' and it's
instance is called 'manufacturing' so it's name should be (
server1\manufacturing ). That is the only place SQL is installed on the
network. Then there are four XP SP2 workstations that connect to the
databases on
(server1\manufacturing). Three of the workstations see the
(server1\manufacturing ) when they look at available SQL instances. The
fourth system , when looking for available SQL instances, sees (server1) but
without the instance name (manufacturing).
What would cause other system to see the SQL instance fine but one system to
only see the //servername and not the last part of the instance?
Any help really appreciated!Christopher Knapp wrote:

Instance NetSDK

Dear
I have a question about SQL Server / MSDE. Iâ'm trying install and to configure the documentation of the .NET Framework 1.1 but I have a problem because is necessary contain a instance: â'Local\NetSDKâ' (Local is the same the principal instance) second information about details of the configuration
Iâ'm working with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 â' Personal Edition and I have listed in SQL Server Service Manager only: â'Localâ'
How I make to create the instance: â'NetSDKâ'
Your
ThankI'm not sure why that SDK needs an instance of SQL Server with that
particular name, but I'd have thought it would create the instance during
it's installation...
Anyway, to create a named instance of SQL Server, you have to install it
again & you get the chance to provide the instance name during the
installation process.

Installing with MSDE on XP

I would like to install MSDE in Windows XP Professional. When I tried
to install it gave me an error A strong SA password is required for
security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch
I do not know how it handle this error if you can please let me how to
install in XP.
Step by Step process.
Thanking You

Setup.exe is a boostrap intaller for MSDE and accepts parameters you can
provide at the command line as long as in a companion .Ini file..
at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...stsql_84xl.asp
you can find the list of all supported parameters...
please open a DOS command window and navigate to the folder hosting the
setup.exe file...
there you can run setup.exe with all the parameters of your choice..
- usually you have to provide the SAPWD parameter to specify a strong
password for the "sa" builtin login in order to protect it from both
internal and external attacks..
specify then
SAPWD=your_strong_password
- additional parameters let you specify if you want a named instance or a
default instance... specify
INSTANCENAME=your_instance_name
if you want a named instance...
- another parameter let you specify if you want to allow remote connections
from other PCs in your lan to your MSDE instance.. specify
DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
if you need this feature...
- by default, MSDE is installed allowing only WindowsNT authenticated
connections and preventing standard SQL Server authenticated ones.. more on
this at http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;325022
you can specify
SECURITYMODE=SQL
to allow mixed mode security, thus allowing both WInNT integrated security
and standard SQL Server authenticated connections..
- the final important parameter is
/L*v "c:\msdelog.txt"
where you will allow verbose logging of the installation process, resulting
in a text file of about 2mb for a successfull installation you can inspect,
in case of problems, for
RETURN VALUE 3
entries... about 10 lines before each entry some (sometime cryptic)
description of the problwm will be reported..
so, if you like to install a "named instace" named "Raj" with mixed security
and enabled network protocols for remote connections you can run setup.exe
boostrap installer providing all parameters as
c:\..\>setup.exe /qb INSTANCENAME=Raj SECURITYMODE=SQL
DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 SAPWD=your_strong_password /L*v "c:\msdelog.txt"
you can later manage your installed instance via the native character tool
oSql.exe as described at
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q325003 or use a
third party tool, both commercial or free, like the ones listed at
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/partners/ or
http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2442... google for further..

Integrate changes into MSDE Database?

I have a module that requires modifcation to the database. How do I adopt the following instructuions for use with MSDE?

1. Create a MSSQL structure.
2. Open a query anylizer and copy the CreateDB.SQL file. Run it.

Thanks,
ScottYou should be able to use the osql.exe utility. To run the CreateDB.SQL file, you can go to the Windows command prompt, go to the directory containing the .SQL file, and issue a command such as:


osql -E -i CreateDB.SQL

Terri|||Thanks for responding Terri.

I have created a seperate MSDE for each on the Starter Kits I'm tinkering with. When I run CreateDB, do I need to specify which MSDE?
