Installing SQL Server Express

Hi,

I have a small application which uses a connection to a SQL database.
Using clickonce I make the deploy folder. Well, the target PC is old
(600 MHz, 256 MB RAM, WinXP) but it should be ok for my application.

The framework is installed, but while deploying my program, it want to
install Windows Installer 3.1 and SQL Server Express. The former has no
problem but the latter goes in timeout after downloading and installing
up to 100% of progress bar.

I guess because it takes longer time than expected but I don't think
there is actually an error.

How should I install SQL Server Express on this slow PC?

Grazie

IMO the best place to ask is in an SQL Server group. This group handles
questions that are specific to programming in VB.Net.

Yes, I know. But The trouble raises because I can't install a program
written in VB.Net. My question is not directly related to SQL Server,
but to the install wizard of VB.Net Express.

However, maybe I am in the wrong NG so thanks for the advice. Now I'm
looking for an SQL Server group.

Bye!

ps. Just for curiosity: how is pronounced 'SQL' in English? As it is
spelled?

Normally pronounced "sequel".

The most common is the same as the word "Sequel." As in the sentance
"Have you seen the sequel to that movie yet?"

Thanks,

I have VS 2005 Pro and Team installed and want to install Expression Blend. In its install instructions it says to install VS 2005 Express afterwards. I don't know if it actually requires vs express to run properly or if they are making a huge assumption that nobody with VS 2005 will be installing expression blend. if I need to install VS Express, will there be a conflict with VS pro? -- moondaddy@noemail.noemail

Hi, I have a vb.net application that uses a SQL Express database. The end user already has SQL Express setup on there server, but they have no skills at using it. Is there a way I can have my VB.net Setup program install the database onto this server? Executing a massive SQL Script I guess would work, or perhaps just restoring a backup of the database would work as well.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
