Error 29506 | SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express

When i binged (yes I’m using bing :P), i found the following fix:

  • Search for Command Prompt in the Start Window (don’t press enter)
  • Right click on the shortcut found and select ‘Run as Administrator’
  • In the command prompt change the current directory to the folder where the SSMSEE installer is stored
  • Enter the following command .SQLServer2005_SSMSEE_x64.msi if you are running Windows 7/Vista 64 bit
  • Enter the following command .SQLServer2005_SSMSEE.msi if you are running Windows 7/Vista 32 bit
  • Press enter to start the installation

Happy Sql Server Managementing 🙂

  1. Thanks for the fix. This worked when simply running as administrator didn’t, I am not sure why. – V
