Pro machine. XP SP2 was installed prior to the MSDE
installation. The installation of both MSDE & SP3a
completed without error.
When I log in the server icon appears on the taskbar.
When I place the mouse pointer over the icon "Unknown -
\\ - MSSQLServer" appears.
When I right click the icon and attempt to start, I
receive the following.
"Error The handle is invalid."
I click OK.
The following error appears.
"An error 6 - (The handle is invalid.) occurred while
performing the service operation on the MSSQLSeerver
service."
I click stop and then receive the same errors in the same
order after being asked if I am sure I wish to stop.
I applied a strong password when installing.
Thoughts?
I am seeing the same symptoms as you are. I just installed VS.Net 2003 and MSDE on a brand spanking new hard disk with windows xp sp2 on it. Though, I don't know if it is the latest version of MSDE.
If I open the sql manager there is nothing in the server field. When I try using "local" and click on the refresh services button I get an error saying "The network path is not found."
Any ideas how I can get MSDE running?
thanks!|||Likewise, same problem, though I'm working off win2k and reached msde need
through a limited period copy of Visual.net (for learning purposes).
I'm afraid I'm not at the pc at the moment, but I installed the msde desktop
patch and wasn't sure whether should also have installed the two other
patches that were available.
I await with interest!
