Problem installing SQL 2005 Express April CTP on non English OS

Yesterday I've been installing SQL Express on a VirtualPC with Polish Windows XP. When setup reached the point when it tried to start the service I got following error:

The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL
Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files"
and "Starting SQL Server Manually."

and with alert from NetLogon service in event log that the “This computer is part of a workgroup and not a domain and in such configuration the NetLogon service can't be started” (translated from Polish).

It occurs that by default setup configures the service to use the Local Service account but uses the localized name (for me it was “Usluga Lokalna“). This might force the system to lookup this name in the domain controller which requires the Netlogon service to start but will fill when computer does not belong to a domain. This problem was reported on MS support newsgroups for other non-English OS's and it was suggested that it can be workaround by changing the account for the service to Local System. And indeed it fixed the problem for me.

No problem. It's great that I could help and that someone is actually reading what I write.

Hi,
Sorry to ask that but I dont' know which service it is
The one that is closest in french is "connexions réseau" but i can't restart it as a local service
'error 1079 :Different account from another service in the same process'
I set 'local service' for the dependent service RPC but it doesn't work either
Thanks for your help

Actually I meant the SQL Server service itself. All other should be left unchanged. You can change the account at the setup level (if I remmember correct by selecting Custom Settings) or after installation by going to the Control Panel > Administration Tools > Services. Then in SQL Server service properties go to the Login tab and select to login as Local System account.

What do you mean? It seams to work if you read this :-)

# re: Problem installing SQL 2005 Express April CTP on non English OS 5/19/2005 1:59 PM quanou

Well,
is it limited by length ? I already submitted 3 times a comment but it doesn't work !
Here:
Part 1
My OS : XP Pro SP2

# re: Problem installing SQL 2005 Express April CTP on non English OS 5/19/2005 2:00 PM quanou

Part 2
From hlab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/maninstall/default.aspx, I downloaded "Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition Beta 2",

# re: Problem installing SQL 2005 Express April CTP on non English OS 5/19/2005 2:01 PM quanou

Part 3
then with isobuster I extracted the content of the CD image in a directory.
Then I launched the setup file, but the wizzard don't show the Custom Settings option you are talking about.
Installation is quite linear, not many options.
Also, I looked for the SQL Server service or something similar in the Services panel but i can't find nothing, maybe i am becoming crazy !!!
This we, i will burn the CD image on a CD then install it, hopefully it will show the Custom Settings.
I will let you know.
Thanks for your help

(no http thing)

The problem I described here affects SQL Server 2005 Express CTP edition that I got from the recent Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 DVD. During setup you may choose to show the advanced configuration options (clear the check-box on the Registration Information screen). Then, after few screens, you should finally arrive to the Service Account screen where you should select to use the Local System account. You can leave all other setting on following screens on default.

on the screen where you have to enter your name and company there's a combo "hide advanced configuration options" - uncheck this, and after few screens you'll able to set the account

When I was installing the English version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 on a German version of Windows XP Media Center Edition with SP 2, I got following error from Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition April CTP:
The SQL Server service failed to start. The error is (1068) Der Abhängigkeitsdienst oder die Abhängigkeitsgruppe konnte nicht gestartet werden. Error Number: 29523
I downloaded SQLEXPR.EXE and with your hints, it goes!

The problem still exists on the RTM CD available to MSDN subscribers. Even when installing via the individual install package from the first DVD, you run into the same issue. What's worse is having to roll back the install, and going through the whole rigamaroll all over again.

I can't believe that this wasn't fixed for the release product.

I have the same problem but not with SQL2005. I try to start my own service under LOCAL SERVICE account on German machine, it can not start because it depend on NetLogon which does not start in Workgroup. For some reasons, I can not change my service to local system account. Where is the microsoft support articals that describe this problem?

I have been trying to install this for 3 months I have tried everything and I am getting this same error message: Error 1305. Error reading from file: C:Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DevHelp\VSCC\v8.0\dv_commoner.hxs. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.
This always comes up when the installer is installing the studio. I looked under that path and the file is there. What can I do?

Great!

i'v been trying to start that damn service for a while now on a dutch Win2k SP4. The sql express install wizard tried starting the sql service with the local system account. That didn't work, so i tried my own account (local account no domain) and that worked!

grtz Pierre

# re: Problem installing SQL 2005 Express April CTP on non English OS 4/22/2007 1:25 AM Sreenivas

I found a solution through this URL where i am able to install the SQL Express edition.I have started the SQLExpress service with local system account.

To start the service go to:

Propeties and click the LogOn tab and choose the localsystem account then start the service.
