Hi!

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2008 Express and AK 6.0 on it. OS is Windows server 2008 x64.

Need instructions on installing both SQL Express 2008 and Kaspersky AK 6.0 on it, as i get an "Unable to locate SQL server instance" error while installing Kaspersky AK.

Please install database with default values. Then the adminkit will find the database.

There are no FAQ´s or whitepapers available.

Could maybe be helpful to install your SQL Express by unchecking "Hide advanced options" option. So you'll be able to define your instance name and then check that the service related to this new instance is running and then locate the instance during the installation of the administration kit.

I'm novice to SQL, so could someone please make screenshots of setup process for both SQL express and Kaspersky AK?

Absolutely everything is in the admin guide... http://downloads.kaspersky-labs.com/docs/e...ployguideen.pdf

I've read that deployment guide and doing everything according to it. But i suppose that the problem is in SQL Server installation. I wonder if anyone has ever installed Kaspersky AK on SQL 2008 Express?

Maybe you can just describe your problem with SQL'08 Express?..

ok, i'll try to tell what were the setup options that i've changed during the setup process.

Instance name was changed to KasperskyAK
SQL Server (KasperskyAK) service is starting as nt authority\network service
SQL Server Browser service is starting as nt authority\local service
SQL Server agent is not started

FileStream was turned off by default and i left it as it was.

That is all.

I can connect to SQL server with SQL Management Studio and i can see system databases and all, but still Kaspersky AK doesn't see the SQL Server.

I can provide screenshots of SQL config if it is needed, just tell me what to shoot and i'll do it.

Does anybody know how to install the Kaspersky AK on SQL Server 2008 Express?

Hello,

Why have you changed the default instance name?
I advise you to remove MS SQL 2008 Express Edition, and install it again with default settings.
Then install Administration Kit with tracing file of the installation process enabled. Upload it here in case you face the same error.

Well, i've uninstalled SQL Server 2008 Express and then installed it once again. This time i chose default instance name option during setup and left everything by default. Nothing works, Kaspersky AK still gives me en error saying "Instance was not detected"

BTW, the /verbose"c:\is.log" switch doesn't work as the setup process doesn't even start as SQL server cannot be detected... the log file doesn't even appear.

About MS SQL 2008 Express Edition there is a specific version for x64 systems which is available here. Just in case you missed this point.

Concerning the /verbose"c:\is.log" switch it should be used with the setup.exe file of Administration Kit, so this step is before the detection of the database.
To get file setup.exe you have to unzip the distributive "kasp6.0.1710_adminkiten.exe".

I was downloading SQL Express from here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en and i really think that it is quite the same except the extra features.

Here is the is.log file

Errors are written in Russian which is quite strange anyway it seems that the installation process of Administration Kit could not find the SQL Server instance or its access is forbidden. This message comes from the tracing file:



What you can try is to specify manually the address of your SQL Server, at step "set MS SQL Server parameters" of the installation process of Administration Kit.
In the "Server" field, try (local) or (localhost) or Computer_Name\SQLEXPRESS or even better try to use the 'browse' button if you can and select the server name available.
Leave "KAV" as the database name.

I am russian and using russian version of Windows that why the error is in russian Thought that if i right it in english section i will get the solution faster

I cannot use the browse button because it is greyed out...

I've tried (local) and localhost to no affair...

Still i think that the problem is in SQL config

Yeah, the problem is in SQL config. I cannot connect on port 1433 with telnet. What should i check?

According to the manual "If the Administration Server will be started under the local administrator's account or under the system account, the Browse button will not be available."
Some steps before during the installation of Administration Kit, select the domain/local administrator account. As username, use "DOMAIN\Username" syntax instead of "Username" only.

You know there are some experts in the Russian section as well, if you don't find any solution here you can try there.

The Problem IS in SQL config. I cannot connect to it with telnet on port 1433. And the worst i don't know where to check properties to make it work.

The strange thing, that i do not have any protocols listed in SQL Server Network Configuration (32) section, but i have them all available in SQL Server Network Configuration (64). Is that alright?

I don't know about SQL, sorry.
Maybe you can try with MS SQL 2005 Express Edition, I haven't other ideas.

Same opinion, try with ms sql 2005 express.
