• SQL Server Can't uninstall or reinstall nonfunctioning sql server

  In previous post in the Getting Started section, I discussed problems trying to run queries on multiple databases: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=299240#299240&SiteID=1 Nobody could help with the problem. I eventually got a query to run after several attempts at deleting and recreating databases. Then, I was hit with the following error message: Class does not support aggregation (or class object is remote) (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040110 (CLASS_E_NOGGREGATION)) (Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlTools.VSIntegration) Nobody could help with that either but based on posts with the same message, I tried uninstall ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Express error "Cannot show requested dialog", and missing tables

  Two of my databases are still listed under the "Database" folder in SQL Express, yet all objects are now gone. Tried detach/attach and says it works OK - yet no tables, etc. The odd thing is that I CAN access the tables from Visual C++ Express, and all looks well (data, etc). When I look at Properties for one of the DBs, and then click on "View Connection Properties" under the "Options" section, the error message pops up: "Cannot show requested dialog.---------------------------- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\SqlManager ...Show All

  I setup a TFS Team project (under Beta 3). Next I created a New project (not a Team project) in VS.NET 2005, right-clicked the project name, and selected "Add project to source control". I received the message "The current project must be saved before it can be added to source conrol." Huh I want to save it in TFS and it won't let me do. (I forgot to define a workspace... maybe that's what it wanted. But when I attemped to define a workspace I got the same error message). I finally saved the project to my local harddisk (in folder "deleteme") and was then able to add the project to source control. But now when I ...Show All
