Framework 3.0 in OS, need Framework 2.0 for SQL Server 2005

Hi,

Can anybody help me with the following problem:

I have Vista Ultimate installed and within Vista .NET Framework 3.0 is installed as a part of the operating system so I can't remove 3.0

Now for MS SQL Server 2005 Express I need .NET Framework 2.0 and the SQL Server 2005 doesn't work with .NET Framework 3.0

Can't install 2.0, get the message that 3.0 is already installed.

Please help me!!

.NET 3.0 is actually an addon for the 2.0 framework.

Vista Ultimate actually comes with .NET Framework 2.0 installed by default. So it is already there.

If you check the \windows\microsoft.net\framework directory you should see v2.0.50727 and this is the .NET Framework 2.0 so SQL Server 2005 should not ask to install it.

Hi,

The directory is there but still SQL Server 2005 give the error-message ".NET Framework 2.0 is not installed or damaged on this computer". I run Vista Ultimate on 32-bit machine. Is there a way to re-install .NET Framework? Already installed SDK and hoped that with that installation Framework 2.0 would be re-installed but that didn't work either :-(

Tried to call Microsoft but they charge € 300 for trying to solve my problem, no garantuees..

If I was sure that a new installation of Vista would solve the problem I would do that, but can't see why a new installetion would solve the problem.. Is there a way to re-install the .NET Framework-software?

But I am not sure that there is an easier way to get this fixed. Because they are OS components, you would have to do some sort of repair.

framework 1.1 update + ssmse: get warning!?

Hello, friends,
here is my problem:
I installed sql server express on a naked Windows xp pro with SP2; of course, framework 2.0 installed, and MS-installer 3.1 installed as well. I also installed ssmse. Everything worked fine.
Then I installed all windows updates via Windows Update in internet.
Now suddenly, when starting ssmse, I get a Warning Textbox with Header "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express", then the yellow triangle with the exklamation mark, but NO TEXT AT ALL, and the OK-button. So unfortunately, I do not know what to do. Only thing I found out was, that in all updates, the culprit surely is framework 1.1 update. Before installing this, everything worked fine, afterwards, well, see above.
When I click the ok-button, everything works fine, I can log in into sql server express and do what I have to do.
So my only solution at the moment is just to ignore the warning - not the best way.
Couldn't find a better solution until now.
Could anybody help?

Have you tried to reinstall / repair the management tools again. This would not take long and should re connect any links or references that were lost.

Hello, Glenn,
thanks a lot for your answer.
Unfortunately, I tried that several times, also with a brand new installed windows xp pro sp2.
But, must tell you, I DID find a solution:
I downloaded the sqlexpr_toolkit_ger.exe, installed it, and now this strange message has disappeared, and ssmse is working without any problems...
I think, there might be any file destroyed by updating framework 1.1 which is reinstalled by the toolkit!?
Doesn't matter, it works.

Kind regards from
Axolotl
