I have developed a POS System Recently and workin on its deployment.
Application Specifications:
The application is basically a POS system.
Back end = SQL Server 2008 Express R2.
Front End = C#
I also used SMO libraries.
Deployment Method = Click-once.
Target Framework = 4.0.
Development Tool = Visual Studio 2012 RC.
OS = Windows 7 Home Premium.
Used some SQL feature packs like Shared management Objects, CLR types. and others.
The prerequisites are selected and i packaged them also.
In brand new windows 7 the installation was fine. and application is running upto date.
In win XP the installation is fine. but when i start the app. it colses with this error.
SQL Server database is not installed and or not running.
and application quits.
IMPORTNAT NOTE:
THE 'WINDOWS XP SP3 PROFESSIONAL'
ON WHICH I AM TESTING IS INSTALLED ON VIRTUAL MACHINE
In the code i am running some SMO library functions in order to install *.sql script for the application's first time use.
SQL Server 2008 R2 is installed with all of its dependencies. and other feature packs. All the prerequisites are installed on XP.
Can you run SQLServer Management Studio on the XP VM and see SQLServer? If you run the SQLServer Configuration Manager on the VM, and click on SQL Server Services, does it show the service is running?
How do you have the connections configured? Do you have named pipes and TCP/IP enabled for the SQLServer Network configuration? What about the SQL Native Client configuration?
Do you have SQLServer Express ticked as a prerequisite in the ClickOnce deployment? What happens if you run setup.exe? Does it recognize that it's installed?
The SQLServer Express that's installed -- is it a named instance, or did you leave it as ".\SQLExpress" ? Id the connection string being used by the ClickOnce application right?

I need to pull data from an Access .accdb database and put it into a SQL Server table. I am unable to create a connection to the Access database from an SSIS package.
Visual Studio 2010 Pro - development tool.
SQL Server Management Studio 2012 - database tool.
Windows 10 Enterprise – OS on development PC.
Office 365, 64-bit – productivity suite on development PC.
Several articles state to use the “Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider” to create a connection to the Access database. I currently do not have this data provider.
The 2010 version of Visual Studio is a 32-bit product, and therefore needs a 32-bit connection to Access. I have tried to install the “Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable”, but it will not install because I already have the 64-bit version of Access installed.
Any thoughts on how to install the 32-bit Access data provider – in the presence of a 64-bit version of Access.
To install Microsoft Access database engine 32-bit alongside 64-bit installation, you should install it using the passive mode.
Passive mode installation steps
Open the Command Prompt by typing cmd in the Windows search box under the Start menu and selecting cmd.exe
Type the file path and file name of the 32-bit Access Database Engine 2010 install file, followed by a space and /passive (this runs the installation without showing any error messages).
Open the Registry Editor by typing regedit in the Windows search box under the Start menu and selecting regedit.exe
Delete or rename the mso.dll registry value in the following registry key:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\FilesPaths"

How to install 64-bit Microsoft Access database engine alongside 32-bit Microsoft Office
I have an Oracle(12g x64) database that I am trying to connect to using EF (6.x.x) data first approach in an MVC application. However I get a BadImageFormatException.
I am running everything x64. "Any CPU" is changed to x64. IIS AppPool "Allow 32-bit apps" is set set to false. Project Platform is set to x64
The same environment works fine with plain ADO.NET connections.
Has anyone successfully achieved this?
EDIT:
This link
does not provide the answer. I am getting the error only when trying to connect through Server Explorer. Plus, I am using everything x64 to work with my other project. If I install another (x86) client and/or change paths of the current client and dlls it will mess up everything for the other project also.
I have installed the Oracle.ManagedDataAccess and the Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework nuget packages in my MVC (current) Project. So it removes the requirement for a x86 client.
I will try to enumerate the steps.
From here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/downloads/index.html
Download Entity Framework "Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2015 - MSI Installer" This will provide the EF tools. These tools are compiled in x86
Download "64-bit ODAC Downloads" I would suggest the "64-bit ODAC 12c Release 4 (12.1.0.2.4) for Windows x64" wich has an installation wizard
Use Nuget to install Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework nuget packages in your project
Go to your web-->properties--> and set platform target to x64 in Release Mode
At this point, it should work properly in debug mode and release mode in your machine
In the IIS server you should only install "64-bit ODAC 12c Release 4 (12.1.0.2.4) for Windows x64" and configure the tnsnames file
Deploy all the contents of the bin\x64 folder to the IIS server. No further configuration in IIS if it´s an x64 operating system
Hope it helps
I'm currently working on a project which has a Winforms component that is installed via ClickOnce. The original target OS was Vista and above and it continues to work fine for those platforms.
However, the customer has now requested that the application be tested against Windows XP (yes - I know it's about to have support dropped but what can I say).
When I run the installer against a fresh XP virtual machine ClickOnce duly installs the prequisites (Windows Installer 4.5 and SQL Server 2008 [with configured instance]) before installing the application itself.
Running the application appears to work as expected but when attempting to sync the local database with the remote one an exception is thrown.
"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication,
Version 10.0.0.0' or one of its dependencies"
Now, if I start again from a clean XP VM and Manually install Windows Installer and SQL Server Express 2008 before starting the ClickOnce package to install the main application the resulting installation works fine and without error!
I have tried numerous things including creating a ConfigurationFile.ini and using that for both manual and ClickOnce installations but the result is the same - the one with the manually installation of SQL Server will run without error but the ClickOnce installation will not.
I've pretty much run out of ideas now so hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance
I make a project using visual studio 2010 (C# windows application), sql server 2008 and sap crystal report the last edition.

Please help me
for your database it depends on your project and how you wrote it.but to include sql server and crystal report you can use setup factory.

Are there any limitations with respect to developing ASP.NET and WPF apps using VS 2008/2010 and SQL Server 2008 on Windows 7 Home Premium?
I know you can run IIS 7.5 on Home Premium. I Googled and Binged on Home Premium and VS/SQL Server and couldn't find much. It doesn't look like the features missing from Home Premium, domain joining, xp mode, etc... shouldn't prevent one from running and developing in VS/SQL Server.
Update
I did discover one limitation w/IIS 7.5 and it applies to all versions of Windows 7 I think. You can't create your own self signed SSL certificate specifying a name other than the machine name. You're stuck with your machine name which isn't that big a deal, but it is a change from previous versions.
Update II
You can't do remote debugging on Home Premium. msvsmon won't run at all. I can't even get it to do remote debugging natively.
Visual studio will run fine. You will be "limited" to either SQL Server Express, or SQL Server Developer edition as the mssql installer checks the OS version and will refuse to install the higher end editions on desktop OSes. Note that developer edition is the exact same as the higher end editions, except with a different license, you can only use it for development, not to run real databases.
Yes, you can, and you won't have any trouble with it.
In general, application compatibility is not affected by the edition (not version) of Windows.
I would consider what the target infrastructure (Windows/IIS, .net, SQL Server etc versions) would be if you want to deploy it...
