为什么sql server没有获得在应用程序安装过程中安装的管理员权限？

Question

Hello I am building a windows based application. I am generating setup with install shield in visual studio. Now I am adding prerequisites as .net framework 4 client profile and sql server 2008 express. and selecting option of Download prerequisites from the same location as my application.

Now when I am installing this app in client's system sql server also installed properly. But when I am running my app. it stopped working because sql server has no admin rights. What is the solution for it? What I should do that's why sql server have administrator rights. And my app works properly..

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try upgrading your prerequisite to at least SQL Server 2008 R2.

SQL Server 2008R2/2012 installer supports /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN parameter, set to true by default for Express Edition.

Answer 2

did you have administrator rights when you was installing the sql server? This might help you with the "standard sql server administrator": System Administrator (sa) Login

The password for the "sa" user depends on the selected login-mode during the installation. Dont worry - you dont have to reinstall your sql server.

You are able to change the authentication mode like that .

After you figured ou the administrator name and the password you should be able to login with your windows app by using the correct login values :)

Sincerly, Toby
