Database connection problem

Hi,

I have a retail version of FP2007 XPE development tools. Everything worked
pretty well (from development to deployment) until now I got "Cannot connect
to the database at 'xxxxx'. Please verify your database connection" error
message when I launched Component Database Manager. I never had a remote
database connection and I always have the database in the XPE development
machine. I suspect this could be related to my recent installation of
"Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition"

Here are the error messages I got from event log.

The CMI encountered the following error: 0x80042335 (-2147212491) Method
CMI.OpenDB failed.

I have tried to reboot the computer, restart SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS), and SQL
Server Browser and still I got the same error. I would appreciate if you can
provide me info to resolve this.
 
It happend to me also, if I installed Visual Studio after Embedded
tools.
What you should start is MSSQLSERVER and not SQLSERVER. MSSQLSERVER is
the one that manages Embedded data. That is the one that is installed
when you install Embedded tools.
Or uninstall MSSQLSERVER and install it again.
 
Hi Danis,

Thank you for your reply. I have tried to stop and then start MSSQLSERVER
through Services in Computer Management. I still have the same problem when
I launch Component Database Manager. I guess my next option is to uninstall
MSSQLSERVER and install it again. But I have some concern about before doing
that. I have very limited knowledge about MSSQLSERVER and SQLSERVER and I
concern about uninstall SQLSERVER may actually remove my component database
that includes all FP2007 components from MS and my own custom components.
Could you or anyone else comment on this? I really don't want to lose my
custome components in the database.

When I take a look of the XPE install CD Databae Engine Setup, it mentioned
about Component Database run on either SQL Server or MSDE. How do I know
which one I am using in my XPE development computer because I don't remember
what I did in the installation long time ago?

Thanks again.
