Error 29506 with SQL 2005 Studio Express on Vista

Vista ... argh!

If you need to install SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express on Windows Vista you might receive an error like the screenshot below.

SSMSE installation error on Windows Vista

This is due to the new Vista feature called UAC. The fix is simple & there are 2 ways of implementing it.

  • Under 'Accessories' from 'All Programs', right-click the Command Prompt shortcut and select 'Run as Administrator'. Accept the UAC warning when prompted.
  • From the command prompt change to the directory that holds the SSMSEE installation .MSI file.
  • Enter the command .\SQLServer2005_SSMSEE_x64.msi if you're running Vista x64 (64-bit) or .\SQLServer2005_SSMSEE.msi if you're running Vista x86 (32-bit)
  • Press enter and complete the installation as normal.

The second method is to disable UAC completely but I wouldn't recommend it.
