Cannot register notification services

Hi everyone,

It's going to drive me crazy. I don't know why I cannot register my notification service. I have got this error:

"The performance counter category could not be installed. Category Name: NS$CustomerInterfaceInstance:Vacuumer"

Additionnal information: "Cannot create Performance Category 'NS$CustomerInterfaceInstance:Vacuumer' because it already exists. (System)"

I tried to delete the notification, close SQL ServerManagement Studio, but I always have the same error.

I installed two times these same notifications in other computers and never seen that before. I tried to change the name of my instance because it seems that it doesn't delete something but I've got the same error with my former instance name NS$CustomerInterfaceInstance.

I don't understand anything, it's crazy!

Please help me, if you had the same problem or if you know how to fix it.

Thank you,

Aurelie.

Hi Aurelie -

To get back to where you want to be, that is to be able to create the instance, try unregistering the instance (even though it may not completely exist). You may have to use the NSCommandPrompt to do this if it doesn't appear in Management Studio.

Then delete the instance. As counter-intuitive as it may sound, it's possible to delete an instance (which occurs only within SQL Server) without unregistering it. If you do so, that leaves the registry entries, performance counters, and even the instance service in tact, and you cannot re-register an instance of the same name.

After deleting the instance, you can verify that the instance is truly removed by looking in the msdb system database in the NS90.NSInstanceInfo table. For more information about that, check here:
http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/joew/archive/2007/08/23/60305.aspx

After this, you should be able to create your instance again.

HTH...

Thank you so much Joe for your quick response.

I asked yesterday my manager to reboot the server and this morning everything was alright...

Some things are very weird....

Thank you anyway,

Aurelie.

Cannot make a report delivery

The estatus is this of the subscription: "The delivery extension associated with this subscription is not available on this report server. Verify that the delivery extension is installed".

How do I do? Because in the rsreportserver.config they appear as extensions (Report Server FileShare and Report Server Mail). Both arent working. Do I have to install something more or configure something to appear installed?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

compare your .config file with the entries here: Perhaps you screwed up the config file ?

I have the same problem with HTMLOWC rendering; other formats so far no problem. Installation is RS2005 on SQL2000 upgraded in place. File 'rsreportserver.config' looks fine and has the two HTMLOWC entries as above; it has not been manually edited.

Cannot Install Toolkit.

Trying to install SQL Everywhere Beta Toolkit. And am getting following error message:

"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program.

The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade path."

On difference is I'm installing on top of the "recently released" verision of VS2005 SP1, not the beta.

But, other than that, all the prereqs are installed.

Any insight on suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Rob Vettor

It only works on the beta. I have been having trouble with this as well. According to what I have read and been told the new Service pack and the SQL Ce package you download seperate should be enough to allow you to connect to the .sdf files. I have not found this to be true but that is what it says online.

good luck
Ben
