SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express mit SP1 erstellen
February 2nd, 2010Windows 7 mag die RTM-Version des Management Studios Express von SQL Server 2008 nicht, also braucht man eine SP1-Version. Die gibt es aber bei Microsoft nirgends runterzuladen, zumindest nicht einzeln.
Also muss man sich dieses SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express mit SP1 selbst erstellen.
Wie das für die englische (32-Bit)-Version geht, steht im Creating a SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express Slipstream drop – Artikel im SQL Server Setup Blog.
Für die deutsche (32-Bit)-Version muss man nur ‘ENU’ überall durch ‘DEU’ und ‘1033’ überall durch ‘1031’ ersetzen.

Recommended podcast: Inside The Net
August 23rd, 2006
I highly recommend the podcast “Inside The Net” hosted by Leo Laporte and Amber MacArthur. They are featuring mostly technical topics concentrating on Web 2.0 and new trends and sites on the Web. They provide interviews with the people behind those sites and let you peek behind the scenes of the Startups running those sites.
The quality (both audio and content) is consistently high and I enjoy this podcast very much. It’s in my Top 5 list of favorite podcasts.

SQLExpress also not working on my home machine :-(
April 28th, 2005I tried it on WinXP SP2 and it was the same as on Win2k3 Server. The Setup failed to start the SQLServer-Service and then rolled the install back.
WTF?
Although this time it could be my fault, because I didn’t install on a clean machine. I previously had SQLExpress Beta 2 and Beta 1 of Visual C# Express on this machine. Of course I removed everything very carefully before trying to install .Net Beta2 and SQLExpress April ’05 CTP.
Well, it looks like Microsoft got some serious homework to do there…
Couldn’t get SQL Server Express April 2005 CTP to install on W2K3 Standard (German) :-(
April 22nd, 2005Well the title says it all …
I downloaded the latest bits of SQLEXPRESS (formerly known as Beta 3) and no matter what I do, it won’t install on Windows Server 2003 Standard. I tried it on a freshly installed Server with and without SP1. No luck. Maybe it doesn’t like that it’s a German version or it doesn’t like to be installed to drive D:, I don’t know.
At the end I always get the error: “Can’t start the MSSQLSERVER service” and it rolls everything back. Somehow it is missing a dependent service, but there is none listed under “Services” in Control Panel, sigh.
Visual C# Express Beta2 installed OK, but it’s only half the fun without SQLExpress.
Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 is out!
