sql server msde:
Hi I know that MS SQL Server 2000 versions (including MSDE) are not supported on Windows Vista, but still I'd like to ask if anyone knows why when MSDE is installed on Vista, each time after a user logs in to Windows, the instalation dialog appears for few seconds. The dialog title is the MSDE product name ("Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine". The text in dialog is "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine". The dialog appears regardless of UAC being on or off. Same dialog appears on Windows Vista Basic and Windows Vista Premium. If you know anything about it (how to get rid of it would be great), then please do not hesitate to post here. -- Hilarion
Hi,
As you said, MSDE is not supported on Windows Vista. Why don't you just download SQL Server 2005 Express? After all it is free. Jonathan [quoted text, click to view] Hilarion wrote:

Hilarion,
SQL Server versions prior to SQL Server 2005 SP2 are not supported on Vista.

The app, that I'm forced to use, uses MS SQL Server and is only supported with 2000 edition. I know that the problem I described does not appear with MS SQL 2005. I know that Express Edition is free. I know how to install it on Vista and how to copy the databases from MSDE to 2005 EE. I know how to ensure that backward compatibility components (like SQL DMO) are installed, but still I'd prefer not to be forced to move to 2005. Hilarion PS.: AFAIK MS SQL Server 2005 will officially be supported on Vista from SP2 version (of MS SQL, not Vista), so the current version is not,
FYI. SP2 for SQL Server 2005 has been released some time ago.

I somehow missed SP2 release. My fault.

Still, the app I'm forced to use is not supported with SQL Server 2005, so still I'd be grateful for any info regarding strange behavior of MSDE on Vista.
Hilarion,
I believe we are saying we do not know how to get rid of the message since MSDE (which is a version of SQL Server 2000) is not supported on Vista. Why not? This has to do with the new security enhancements in Vista (I do not remember the details) which is why even SQL Server 2005 needs SP2 in order to work. If you must continue to use MSDE, then you cannot use Vista. Scale back to Windows XP.

Or run that Vista-incompatible app in a Xp VPC on Vista. I do this for an
old version of QuickBooks we still use. -- Ginny [quoted text, click to view] "Russell Fields" <russellfields@nomail.com> wrote in message

I know that there are reasons behind no support for MS SQL 2000 on Vista and I'm not arguing them nor the decision not to support it. I was just asking if anyone knows the cause of described behavior. The said instance of MSDE seems to be working fine on my Vista (regardless of UAC being on or off). The only thing is this, and it looks like it's related to the MSDE installation package, not to the MSDE itself.

Thank you for your feedback anyway, and I hope for more.

I still need license on Windows XP to use it VPC environment. I'm stuck with Vista (and it - the Vista - really starts to annoy me, and lack of support for MSDE on it is not the key issue here). Thank you for your feedback anyway, and I hope for new ideas.

Why check reg entries > for MSDE / Installation etc. I have no idea how to export only those registry entries that were made by MSDE installer, to compare those from Vista with those from XP. The MSI engine on Vista is (AFAIK) different from the one on XP, so even knowing the registry differences may not help (there may not even be any differences, but different interpretation of those entries between different MSI engines). Thank you anyway for this idea. Maybe I'll find something in the registry. -- Hilarion
It appears that some registry entry that confirms that the installation is
completed is either not set or is missing altogether. Why check reg entries for MSDE / Installation etc. Microsoft should have supported at least MSDE 2000 on Vista. Though Vista has major changes, it should have supported at least 1 version down the compatibility tree. I don't think corporations are jumping in transition to Vista. It took my company 4 years to give me an XP machine. Though making Vista incompatible down the versions gets me some $$ as consultant, at personal level I am also at loss as many of applications on my personal laptop don't work with Vista. I don't know if any VB6 code works on it (anyway that is not relevant to this newsgroup). ThanQ... [quoted text, click to view] "Hilarion" wrote:
