[AccessD] Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

There is nothing wrong with it as long as you are using ONLY 2005 stuff.
IIS gets totally confused when you have more than one version of the
framework installed.  I was trying to get DotNetNuke (which uses v1.1 of the
framework) to run locally on my machine and spent about 10 hours cleaning my
machine to get rid of 2005 stuff (v2.0 of the framework).  There are tons of
postings of similar experiences out there.

Again, if you just want to uninstall the old, and install the new, then you
will probably not have any problems.

John - what is the problem with 2005 Express?  Is there a discussion of this
you could point to, or has this been your experience?

Thanks,
Dan Waters

Hey folks,

 

Look what Microsoft just released - for "free" no less!

 

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=220549b5-0b07-4
448-8848-dcc397514b41&displaylang=en

 

It's advertised as the replacement for MSDE in the "Introduction" section of
the "ReadMe" file.  You also need to have the Microsoft .NET Framework
version 2.0 installed - which is a HUGE download - before you download SQL
Server 2005 Express Edition.  (I guess I should ditch dial-up and get
broadband ...)

 

Looks to me like this is the "training wheels" version of SQL Server 2005.
