• How To Install Sql Server 2000

UPDATE 7/31/2012 – Since this post new versions of SQL Server & Visual Studio have been released. To install the latest version of SQL Server see For more information on working with SQL Server Local DB in Visual Studio 2012 see and the MSDN Library. One of the first things I always do after installing Visual Studio is to install SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Visual Studio 2010 installs SQL Server 2008 Express on your machine but doesn’t include SSMS. Although you can use Visual Studio to create/connect/design databases, I like having SSMS around for advanced management. I recall SSMS for SQL Server 2005 was a simple install, unfortunately they threw the kitchen sink into the SSMS 2008 installer and I’m always confused at which buttons I need to push to get it to do what I want.

Soni Hendar said. Kalo untuk instal SQL Server 2000 di windows 8 gimana? Apa sama caranya? Coz aku coba instal, berhasil, attach database sukses, tapi di SQL Service Manager gak muncul service apa2. Jadi gak bisa di start service manager nya. Dear All, Can we install SQLServer 2000 (Developer Edition) in Windows Server 2008 (Standard Edition)? Please advise/confirm.

So I’m writing up this blog post for two reasons 1) So I remember the steps and 2) So you can be less frustrated:-) (BTW, a birdie tells me that the SQL team is looking at making this installer much simpler in the future. Hooray!) Okay the first thing you need is to make sure you get the right version of SSMS. If you installed Visual Studio 2010 then you will need the 2008 version (not R2). STEP 1: Download and select either SQLManagementStudiox64ENU.exe or SQLManagementStudiox86ENU.exe depending on your machine’s OS bit-ness. I’m running Windows 7-64bit so I’ll be detailing the steps as it pertains to that OS. STEP 2: Make sure you’re logged in as an administrator of the machine then right-click on the exe you downloaded and select “Run as Administrator”. If you’re on Windows 7 then you’ll get a compatibility warning.

Click past it for now to continue with the install. Later you’ll need to apply. STEP 3: You should now see the “SQL Server Installation Center” window. Yes it looks scary. Select the “Installation” tab.

STEP 4: Select “New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation”. It will then run a rule check. Make sure there are no failures and then click OK. STEP 5: The next step is misleading. The Setup Support Files window looks like it’s doing something and stuck on “Gathering user settings.” It’s actually waiting for you to click the Install button!

STEP 6: Another rule check. You’ll probably end up with a Windows Firewall warning this time. If you want to enable remote access to SQL Server you’ll need to. Since I’m using SQL Server Express for development purposes on this machine only, I won’t need to worry about that.

STEP 7: Okay here is the step I always mess up because it’s just not intuitive at all. On the Installation Type window you have a choice between “Perform a new installation of SQL Server 2008” OR “Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server 2008”. You need to select new installation, NOT add features. I know I know, totally weird. You would think that since you just want to add SSMS that it would be Add features to existing instance – I mean I don’t want a new instance, just the dang tools. STEP 8: Next you get the Product Key window. You obviously don’t need a product key for SQL Server Express since it’s free so just click Next.

STEP 9: Accept the License Terms and click Next. STEP 10: Okay now for the window we’ve all been waiting for – Feature Selection. Check off “Management Tools – Basic” and then click Next. STEP 11: Verify your disk space requirements and click Next. STEP 12: Help Microsoft improve SQL Server features and services by selecting to send usage and error reports to them (or not). STEP 13: Another quick rule check runs.

STEP 14: Now it looks like we’re ready to install. Click the Install button. The install will kick off and will take about 5 minutes to complete. STEP 15: Once the installation completes, click the Next button again. STEP 16: Complete!

Click the Close button and you should be all set. STEP 17: Fire up SQL Server Management Studio! You should now see it in your Programs under Microsoft SQL Server 2008. Make sure you run it as an administrator for access to all the features. And don’t forget at some point to install the latest.

I hope this helps people who have just installed Visual Studio 2010 but also want to install SQL Server Management Studio. I know I’ll be referring to my own post on this when I need to do it again:-) Enjoy! Very helpful, Beth. The pictures remind me of some of my project documentation. This is a great example of one of the several instances I have encountered recently where setup installer processes stray from the installer operation patterns what we all get familiar and comfortable with.

My solution to that problem is to use VMs, and incrementally snapshot each 'correct' step as the system is being built. Then, getting it 'right' only has to happen once.:) It seems to me that when I encountered this myself, I installed R2 express, had it upgrade the existing express instance, along with adding SSMS, but it was long enough ago that I don't remember for sure, but I know I was pleased enough with the results of my installation. Hi Beth, Thank you so much for the great post.

I installed the management studio a month ago following all your steps and it worked great. Now I discovered that I have a problem with my hosting company: they are using 2008 R2, and when I try to restore the DB from the server back on my computer, I get an incompatibility message. I am using VS2010, and I just saw in the beginning of your blog that for VS 2010 I need to use management studio 2008 and not R2.

What do you recommend that I do? I am an absolute beginner with MS SQL, so I feel very lost. Do you have any suggestion for me?

Thanks so much! This is unbelievable. Why do people blindlessly put up with the most absurd backwards user features with microsoft products. Are they kidding, to install a Sql Server Management Studio Add-On feature select new install versus add features? They they wonder why Apple is putting out of business with remote computing. Their only hope now is that b-cause S Jobs passed the new ceo will screw it up and MS will continue their monopolies – killing innovation and making backwards eastern style programming to dominate US tech. Beth, This article helped me to install Management studio on Windows 7.

I could not understand why I had to do all the steps as if I were installing the Sql Server itself. And there is nowhere it mentioned about studio until I reached step 10. It seems some one just copied the same process and did not change the names in the wizard it still says SQL Server not the studio. But your article helped me to see actually it was installing studio. I wish you have article on installing the service pack also. Cannot connect to.

I’m confused why you say that if we installed VS 2010, then we want SQL Server 2008, not 2008 R2. Can anyone add more about that?

I have a project which started with VS 2008, upgraded to VS 2010, and (I think always) has been using SQL Server 2008 R2. I came here trying to get install steps for a new dev machine for the project, so I’m curious if there is some gotcha I’m not aware of. I was thinking of referring to the steps in this article but installing 2008 R2 not 2008 – this article says that’s wrong, but not how/why it’s wrong. Hi there, I followed the exact same steps provided by you to install SQL Server 2008 management studio but when opening studio and trying to connect I am getting Error TITLE: Connect to Server —————————— Cannot connect to.

—————————— ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 – Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1) For help, click: I am not getting Instance selection option while installing SQL Server.

How to solve this error. Also I fire up SQL server Configuration manager to see if SQL server service is runningBut I am not getting anything there as well totally blank. Please help me to solve this. I installed SQLManagementStudiox64ENU and I just want for learning purpose. I found that when I opened the sql server management studio the first time in Admin mode, the server box was blank. However, it happened that I opened ssms first in normal mode and viola!

There was the server name. Copy off the name (may have to use pencil and paper), then reopen the ssms in Admin mode and fill in the server name box. Worked like a charm! Seeing that your post is 2 months old as of this writing, I hope you’ve solved the issue before now. But this may help someone else Good luck! Hi Beth Iam still a very new student on Web Development.

I have endless problems with SQL servers and Visual Studio. Ive been work with VS 2012 it has been working very well.Untill i start do down load SQL server to do database. The SQL servers somehow make my VS2012 stop working.

My vs2012 keeps asks me to repair it, so i have but still nothing it keeps asking me the same. Then i have Uninstalled the VS 2012 and Re-installed it and still nothing. I end up to Reset my whole computer. So the i have installed VS2012 again.

It was working again, until i have installed SQL server again. I have installed SQL 2012 for my VS2012 and it keeps on doing the same over and over again. Now i don’t know if its got anything to do with im using windows 10? Or is there any changes i have to do when i installing SQL server. Im not even sure if i download the correct downloads. I use to download sql2012 64x express.

Any good advise will be appreciated.

Q: I want to install SQL Server 2000 on Windows Server 2003, but when I do, I receive the error message SQL Server 2000 SP2 and below isn't supported by this version of Windows. To run the program, click Continue. For more information, click Details.

I don't have an installed version of SQL Server 2000 that already has Service Pack 3 (SP3) applied, and I can't install SP3 until I apply SQL Server. How can I install SQL Server 2000 on Windows Server 2003 when the OS doesn't support this release? A: The error message you're seeing has confused many people. Windows Server 2003 doesn't support SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 2 (SP2) and earlier, but you can install those releases. Immediately apply SP3 (or SP3a) once you've finished the installation. The error message can create a problem if you're trying to perform an unattended installation of SQL Server 2000 because insuppressible GUI messages don't cooperate with unattended installations. However, the Microsoft article 'INF: How to Suppress the Appshelp Message in an Unattended Installation' (=815430) provides a walk-through of registry key changes you can make to disable the error message.

Disabling the error message will let an unattended installation proceed without problems. Microsoft has talked about shipping versions of SQL Server 2000 that have SP3a slip-streamed into the core SQL Server installation. However, those versions weren't available when I wrote this answer.
