Hi,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me. I was trying to run SQL Server 2005 express edition after downloading it from the internet. I must admit i'm new to SQL server. So this is why i like to get a feel of how it works and that sort of things. However, when i tried to run it, it's saying that i needed .Net Framework 2. Then, after having downloaded the .Net and run the setup, the error message came up with the following message.

"Error creating process <c:\Documen~1\users\locals~1\temp\ixp000.TMP\Install.exe>. Reason: c:\windows\system32\advpack.dll"

It still gives me the same error message after updating the advpack.dll i got from the internet.

Has anyone had the same experience as i've been having now?

Any ideas as to solve it?

Thank you in advance

Hi Harsh Athalye

Thank you for your reply.

The issue has been fixed now. It's because i mistakenly run the wrong .Net Framwork version. There are two version, x64 and x86. I should have run the version x86 since it runs on windows 32 bits.

Now, i have a different question here. I have a database created using microsoft access 2003 and would like to open it using SQL Server 2005. How do i do that?

Thank you in advance

Create Microsoft Access 2003 database as a linked server in SQL 2005 !
