Pubs not installed?

Both myself and my tech editor do not have the Pubs database installed as part of SQL Express 2005 in VS 2005 Team System Beta 2 and VB 2005 professional Beta 2. Is it 1) deliberately left out, 2) just missing in Beta 2 and will be in RC1 or 3) we did dsomwthing wrong and it should be there.

Thanks!

The SQL Server Express SKU does not include Books Online or the sample databases. Books Online will be available as a separate download. In the meantime you can download one of the other editions (developer/beta, standard, etc) and install Books Online from that edition.

Dan|||Yes, but what about the pubs database?

Publishing SQL Express June CTP as a "Prerequisite"?

Hello,

I have not conducted extensive testing yet, but I have installed the June CTP of SQL Express and everything is working fine with my Beta 2 copy of VS.NET 2005. I see that "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Beta" is listed in the "Choose which prerequisites to install" list of the VS.NET 2005 project settings for a basic Windows Forms Application.

My question is: Is this functionality expected to work fine in the Beta 2 for testing? Meaning, if I were to test publishing my app on a new test-copy of Windows XP Pro SP2, can I expect that in most cases it will deploy the June CTP components just fine?

Thanks much,

Sean H.If it does not work then its a bug and should be reported.

-Euan|||

FYI - From what I can tell this feature does (and yet does not) work with "ClickOnce" deployment and the publish feature. It seems that even though you can select SQL Express as a prerequisite and it does seem to install properly on test clients, it installs a previous version of SQL Express and not the June CTP.

I haven't investigated fully, but I get the error:

"The database 'C:\Test.MDF' cannot be opened because it is version 607. This server supports version 603 and earlier. A downgrade path is not supported."

.. when attempting to use the prerequisite publish feature with June CTP created databases. I would imagine this will be fixed in the final build.

For now, it seems ClickOnce publishing does not support the June CTP of SQL Express 2005.

|||I think this is because VS B2 understands the april CTP not the June CTP, this should be fixed for RTM.

-Euan|||

Do you know how to solve this problem without downloading a new version of SQL 2005

Thanks

Regards,Vincent

|||I think you will need a new version of VS and SQL Server Express if it does not work in the VS June CTP.
