Can't Find SQL Server 2005 Evaluation Download

Hi,

I found the proper page for download of the SQL Server 2005 Evaluation and I went through the steps of registering, setting up an account, etc. When I am redirected back to the page where I can theoretically now download the installation, there are two downloads available: ReadmeSQL2005.htm and RequirementsSQL2005.htm - But not the actuall installation file. Am I missing something, ot is something just missing?

Joe

The links are provided in the "Instructions" area of the page.

It is a bit misleading as usually you click on the "download files below" link and it takes to the bottom of the page.

Cant find SMSS

After installing the evaluation edition of MSSQL Enterprise 2005 I can not find SSMS. I know I installed the client tools upon installation. It's not showing up on in the menu, where is the location for the executable file.

Is SSMS even distriubted with the evaluation edition?

If not, is it possible to download it from somwhere...

Did you get any warnings while setup cheked your computer configuration?

Did you specify client tools installation during setup?

P.S. This question suits http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=95&SiteID=1 forum better.

SSMS is part of the evaluation edition. To see a report of what's installed go to Add/Remove Programs, select the entry for "Microsoft SQL Server 2005", select "Change", then select "Report". Under "Common Components" you'll want to see something like this:

Workstation Components
[Version: 9.00.1399.06 Edition: Evaluation Edition Patch level: 9.00.1399.06 Language: English (United States)]

If you see this and still don't think you have SSMS installed, close the report. On the "Change" dialog you should see an entry for Workstation Components, select it and press "Next". This will launch the component in maintenance mode. Just follow the dialogs. When you get to the feature tree be sure to select Management Tools under the Client Components node.

SSMS is installed to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\sqlwb.exe

|||Thanks for your reply::

I got the evauation to work when I downloaded the DVD image and burnt it to disk, and did a fresh install...

I'm now in the process of converting my MySQL talbles over to MSSQL... weeee fun... SSIS takes some of the headake away!|||Excellent!

Can't find Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportRendering assembly

Hi,
I have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Reporting services
Evaluation Edition. I am trying to wrtie a custom rendering service.
But to implement the
IRenderingExtension interface i need to reference
Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportRendering assembly. I am unable to
find it any of the installed directories. Can you please tell me how
to go about this?
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
VijaykumarHi,
I don't think such a file exists.
You have specific dlls for rendering extensiosn for example :
Microsoft.reportingservices.excelrendering,
Microsoft.reportingservices.csvrendering.
You don't have a dll for a report rendering. Reports are rendered through
rendering extensions (excel, pdf, csv, etc...

The type IRenderingExtension exists in the
Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportRendering *namespace*.
The assembly for the type is actually
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Processing.dll.

the same assembly as the ReportProcessing namespace:
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Processing.dll

Can't Deploy AdventureWorks Database

Hi All,

I created a named instance of SQL SERVER 2005 (Evaluation version) on Windows XP pro, attached the AdventureWorks and AdventureWorks DW databases to the database engine, and tried to deploy the AdventureWorks DW (Enterprise and Standard) database in Analysis Services using SQL SERVER Business Intelligence Development Studio.

For some reason, I encountered the following error (after deployment during processing):

Error 1 OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: Login timeout expired; HYT00; 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.; 08001; Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2]. ; 08001. 0 0

Please note that I used the configuration manager to enable named pipes and allow remote connections. I also, renamed the target server (to the named server instance instead of the localhost), disabled my Windows and Norton firewalls, and changed the deployment server edition to the Evaluation version in the Adventure Works DW Property page.

Nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Raj

Hi,

We also experienced a similar problem deploying the AdventureWorks DW using the Business Intelligence Development Studio. Our error is as follows:

Error 1 OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: Communication link failure; 08S01; Shared Memory Provider: The system cannot open the file. ; 08S01; Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM'.; 28000; Cannot open database requested in login 'AdventureWorksDW'. Login fails.; 42000. 0 0

This error occurred after we had dropped and uninstalled the sample databases from a previous install. Please note we downloaded the samples from Microsoft and used the AdventureWorks Data Warehouse Database and Analysis Services Project to install the databases.

We are having the exact same error. Did you all find a solution?

I'm moving this post to the Tools forum since this isn't a setup or upgrade issue.

G'luck.

|||Hi everyone!
I just had the same problem and solved it. What you have to do is:
1) Right-click the project name, and choose properties
2) In the deployment tab change the server name from localhost to your instance name
3) Double-click the data source in solution explorer
4) In General tab click Edit to change the connection string
5) Choose Native OLE DB\Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
6) Type in your server name
7) Select the AdventureWorksDW as database name and click OK
Now the deployment should be successfull...|||

Try:

Double click on AdvantureWork.ds from DataSource (From Solution Explorer). and in Impersonation Information Select the Use the Service Account.
