Re: Embedded on Server

OK. Here is what I have done:

- Uninstalled XP Embedded databases from Windows 2003 Server
- Installed SQL Server on Windows 2003 Server
- Installed XP Embedded databases on Windows 2003 Server
-- Did not perform a custom install so the installation was performed
to Drive D: du to it being the largest
- Attempted install of SP2. Receive message that databases are not
installed.

Any idea why I'm getting this error?

Thanks!

I have installed the XP Embedded tools on an XP workstation. I have
installed the XP Embedded databases on a 2003 Server. The installation
put the repositories on drive D. I cannot apply SP2 to the databases. It
tells me there are no databases installed. If I try to re-install the
databases, it says they are installed and I am asked to
modify/repair/remove.

What am I doing wrong? Is this due to the repositories being on drive D?
If so, how would I move them to drive C? Uninstalling and reinstalling
still puts them on drive D.

Thank you for any help!

If you are using the database server that comes with Embedded Studio, it
is only designed to run on the local machine and service a single user on
the same machine. If you try to install the server and/or database on a
remote path, the server gets confused so it will not work correctly.
If you want to have the database running on any other machine and access
it remotely you will need to install the full version of SQL Server on
that platform and install the database using that server.

When you install the database it tries to put it onto the drive that has
the most space on it. To get around this choose the 'custom' option
during install. That will allow you to specify where you want it
installed.
