Cannot load macro project error

2010-04-15T13:35:00Z

Ref: http://www.jasonlinham.co.uk/2010/02/cannot-load-macro-project-error.html
After moving 'My Documents' folder to a different drive, I started getting an error when loading the macro's explorer window. The error was:

Cannot load macro project '' for the following reason:

'C:\Users\\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\VSMacros80\Samples\Samples.vsmacros' is an invalid or inaccessible macro project file

The problem is when you move your documents folder, this updates the environment variable %USERPROFILE%, but the macro's path for Visual Studio are stored in the registry.

Searching the registry I found the following two keys which had a 'path' value, referencing the C:\.

`HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\vsmacros\OtherProjects7\0 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\vsmacros\RecordingProject7`

To solve, change the 'path' values in the above keys to your new location and restart Visual Studio.

SQL Express - "Failed generate a user instance..."

2010-04-11T07:32:00Z

Error Details

2010-04-11 19:20:01.73 spid7s      Script level upgrade for database 'master' failed because upgrade step 'repl_master.sql' encountered error 5598, state 1, severity 16. This is a serious error condition which might interfere with regular operation and the database will be taken offline. If the error happened during upgrade of the 'master' database, it will prevent the entire SQL Server instance from starting. Examine the previous errorlog entries for errors, take the appropriate corrective actions and re-start the database so that the script upgrade steps run to completion.
2010-04-11 19:20:01.73 spid7s      Error: 3417, Severity: 21, State: 3.
2010-04-11 19:20:01.73 spid7s      Cannot recover the master database. SQL Server is unable to run. Restore master from a full backup, repair it, or rebuild it. For more information about how to rebuild the master database, see SQL Server Books Online.
2010-04-11 19:20:01.73 spid7s      SQL Trace was stopped due to server shutdown. Trace ID = '1'. This is an informational message only; no user action is required.

I Love SQL Server Express. I write demos. Lots of them. SQL Express is great because it's free and works with .MDF files so that I can just bundle up the database with my demo and folks can download a demo, run, and experiment.

I'm "learning" to love Windows Vista.

My only real complaint is that we OVER DID security. I want a switch that says.....

Use Vista's Maximum Security (I never would.)
Lighten Up a Bit (You know, turn of UAC and such.)
Make security on this vista box just like Windows XP
Make me a GOD on this box (Super Grand Admin - I accept the responsibility.)
Windows 98 Mode (TURN IT ALL OFF.)

Life's been very busy these days and I'm working on some new illustrative demos for my AJAX World Talks next week.

Trying to connect to my SQL Express database from my ASP.NET code yields the following message.

"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed."

... "a failure."

CAN YOU BE A BIT MORE SPECIFIC ????????

I know, I know, this is a typical Microsoft error message.

I know SQL Express installers locked down to some extend so I thought maybe the issue was disabled protocols as I was carrying forward some code, but alas - nothing seamed to help. I tried all the configuration tools, used the surface area tool and added everyone to the SQL admin's groups. NOTHING

After searching and playing for some time I got things working again and wanted to share the solution.

If you're running from the IDE then you are running as yourself so:

Delete C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Data\SQLEXPRESS.

I am using Windows 7, the path is

"C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Data"

If you're running via IIS the user is usually ASPNET so....

Delete C:\Documents and Settings\COMPUTERNAME\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Data\SQLEXPRESS

Hope you found this and it saves you some time.

SQL Express 2008 x64 Integration with Visual Studio 2008 SP1

2010-03-17T20:57:00Z

This problem makes me nuts. I spent several hours try to resolve this problem. The following article is the best one which teach solve this silly problem step by step.

Ref: http://blogs.visoftinc.com/archive/2009/02/06/SQL-Express-2008-x64-Integration-with-Visual-Studio-2008-SP1.aspx

Yesterday I was trying to add a database to the App_Data folder of a simple web application I was creating. During one of my computer re-installs, I didn't install SQL Express since I normally use a full blown SQL instance, so I really had no need for it. Now that I did need it, I wanted to run SQL Express 2008. I am running Windows Vista x64, so I proceeded to download SQL Express 2008 x64. I installed it and loaded up SQL Server Management Studio to make sure the instance was working (I just used the default of SQLEXPRESS for the instance name). Everything was fine. I then fired up Visual Studio, right-clicked on the App_Data folder of the web app, and... error (Figure 1).

Figure 1 - Connections to SQL require SQL Express

The Fix - Option 1 - Use SQL Express 2008 x86

One quick fix for this problem is to install the 32-bit version of SQL 2008 Express instead of the x64 version. I figured this was sort of silly, I'm running Windows x64 and I really hate installing 32-bit software if I don't have to. But if you're looking for a simple solution without an extra download, this is it.

The Fix - Option 2 - Using SQL Express 2008 x64

Refusing to take the easy way out, I then started down the path of fixing this "the right way". The first article I came across was John Roland's post on this error. Not helpful in my case, but useful if your instance is named something other than the default for SQLEXPRESS.

Next, I found someone else with my problem on the ASP.NET Forums. Thankfully, it had a link to the fix (KB 957944). However this isn't a something you can just directly download from the KB article since it isn't available to the general public just yet. After a quick Google search, I found a simple way to request the hotfix from Microsoft. From there, I discovered a pretty cool site called Hotfixr, which automatically sends the correct request to Microsoft. If you are looking for the specific one for this problem, you can use this direct link.

After you make a request, Microsoft will e-mail you a link to the fix as well as a password to unzip the fix. After downloading it, I installed the fix as show in Figure 2 below. Note this install took quite a while. Make sure you have all your instances for VS closed.

Configuring SQL

I then fired up Visual Studio 2008, attempted to add a database again, but I received another error. This was a pretty simple one though, it just stated that Named Pipes wasn't enabled for the server. D'oh forgot to do that. Easy fix... Go to the SQL Server Configuration Manger, click on the Protocols for the specific instance and enable Named Pipes (Figure 3).

Figure 3 - Enable Named Pipes

After all of that, a database can successfully be added (Figure 4).
