Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server

Hello all,
I unisntall products as it are recommended (VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005
beta 2) in readme.txt of MSDN products subscription...
I install VS 2005 Pro and I have no problem during install. Now, if I want to open database, I have this error mesage :
"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."

In MBSA report, I see that the folders of SQL doesn't contain another
account than Administrator and VS2005 users. I delete other accounts but the
problem is the same.

If I create a new project with a new database the problem is the same.

Have you an idea to solve this problem ?
Thank you very mutch.
Regards.
Patrice.

This is because of a known problem in Windows. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;896613 for more details.

Thanks

|||Thanks Paul; Thank you very mutch because this problem is not solved. I called Msdn support last week without solution after two hours to solve that. We have controlled VS, IIS and others.
Then, I uninstalled VS2005 with all products. I cleaned the registry and then install again VS2005 and SQL Express.
The problem is exactly the same. It seem that the solution is in the account of the Window user.

Sorry for my lack of english.

Thank you for your help.

It solved my problem. This directory is at following location...

C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Data\SQLEXPRESS

cheers!

|||Hello,
Even your help and explanations I not solved my problem.
Now, I install SQL Server 2005.
I can attach the database : I use it, I create a new table; non problem here.
I create a connexion with the ODBC data source in Administrator tools in panel settings : Test connexion is OK.
But in VS 2005 I can't access to the database without this error with SQL Express or SQL Server !! :-((

I'm very hangry.

Thanks all.

Hello Pat84,
I got your problem yesterday, and I think I've solved it now.
You need to install the SQL Management Studio 2005 Express (CTD) first, create an account named "(YOUR)PC\ASPNET", subsitute (YOUR) with your PC's name. For me it's HENRYPC\ASPNET. Because VS Express will use this default account to access SQLEXPRESS's database.

Then create a database for the use of YOURPC\ASPNET with the help of Mgt Studio Express.
Then in your Visual Web Developer Express or Visual Studio, create a connection to the new database you just created. You need to select "SQL Server" as service provider, ".\SQLEXPRESS" as data source, and you will find your new database name as well as four system databases under the "select database". Then you test your connection. It will works!

Hope it helps! Good Luck,
Henry Li

|||You can get that error if your logging on using "Local Service". Try logging on using "Network Service", if you are not already.
Open the SQL Server Configuration Manager
Wtih the SQL Server 2005 Services node selected, right click SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)
Select Properties
Make sure "Network Service" is selected
May need to reboot PC (not just restart the server).|||Sorry for that answer to be long. I was very ill...

Factorized association

Hello,

Let’s say (for simplicity), in my site you can do one of two things – look at products and buy products.

I want to build an association structure between my products based on those two actions, but(!) when a user looks at two products it creates less important association than when the user actually bought those two products.

So basically, I want to give a different factor base on different actions occurred on my products.

How do I build my structure? How do I query it?

You could also build a single model with two nested tables, one for purchased products and one for browsed products. The browsed products would be input and the purchased input and predict. This would let you answer the question "people who browsed these products bought these products" and "people who purchased these products also purchased these products".

There currently is no way to set a weighting on this, however.

Another option is to simply build two models and interpret the results as you need to on your site.

New, but somewhat similar problem-

Let's say - I’m running a music sharing site where users can rate the songs from 1 to 5.

How do I use this rating in my calculations for associating songs?

Meaning – the association between two songs is stronger when a user rate them both with 5, and weaker (even negative) when the rate is low.
