| I'm trying to upgrade an existing instance of sql 2000 to sql 2005 and I get the following error. I've posted it on the microsoft 2005 site, but I thought I would post it here also to see if anyone could help me with it. ThanksSQL Server setup could not connect to the database to validate upgrade options. The error was: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified |

| Hi,I remarked the same problem but in other case :If you install SQL Server 2005 on a machine where SQL Server 2000 is already installed, you might find some problems when using Enterprise Manager to manage SQL Server 2000 installations.and you will have the same error :Data source name not found and no default driver specifiedso for my case i solved this problem by this method:Start -- > Run -- >type "Regsvr32 C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\SQLDMO.dll" without the quotes and press OK I hope that will help u.Thanks,Tarek G. |

| Hi!I also got problems with installing SQL Server 2005 - Developer Edition.My OS is Windows 2003 Server. I installed all Windows-Updates and the IIS (because after SQL Server I want to install Visual Studio Team Foundation Server)During SQL Server-Installation I got this Error Message:Errors occured during the installation:Error -2147023829 installing .NET Framework 2.0.Der Prozess wurde unerwartet beendet. ( german:Der Prozess wurde unerwartet beendet = engl:The prozess was interrupted.)Any ideas? |

| Hi again!I did not really found out what the problem was....Because I was installing SQL over Remote I copied all files from the CD in a folder on the Server. Because the first installation didn`t work I copied them again. Now I got an error message that the names of some files are too long. I had to copy some files extra and rename them.Now the installation worked until the last components. Then, the installation said, that it could not found some files, but when I looked into this directory, there were the files. So I ended yesterday evening with an unfinished installation.Today I restarted the Server and deleted all setup-files and copied the whole folder from the CD again on the Server. This time: No error about too long file-names. And no problem with the installation....Once again I know why I hate Computers! *...* |
