MSSQL$WINCCFLEXEXPRESS is running and not disabled

Post by ALAGESHKANNA » Wed Oct 05, 2016 7:49 am

Dear Experts,
(nuser)
Cannot connect to configured SQL server
Make sure that the service MSSQL$WINCCFLEXEXPRESS is running and not disabled
If the error persists, reinstall the WinCC flexible DB server (see Readme)


Has anyone else had the same error and how is there a fix ?

How can i reinstall the WinCC flexible DB server ? i can't fnd it in the readme.

And I removed a whole list of programs with "Add/remove programs"

WinCC flexible 2008
Microsoft SQL server 2005
Microsoft SQL server desktop engine (WinnCCflex)
Microsoft SQL server Native client
Microsoft SQL server VSS writer

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Data\WINCCFLEXEXPRESS

Deleted the directories

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1

I hope someone can help me (sos)
