Try to download SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT.EXE first and then retry.

Answer 7

Hi,

did you ever manage to install dtswizard?

I'm having the same problem and wondered if you could assist?

Steve

Answer 8

I followed the steps above and now have the dts directories and stuff (i installed the MSI first and nothing changed, then I installed the 200meg exe file and it told me I 'had everything' already and it just upgraded me)

My new problem is that I am using DTS to make a temporary database for developement purposes. I transfer from SQL server DB to an MS Access mdb file.
My problem occurs in that DTS seems to be limited in exporting tables. I cannot export more then 63 tables at a time (I think I have 80 in total) I have to run through the wizzard a second time to get the rest of the tables. My end result appears to be what I wanted, but it's messy and time consuming, not easily done on the fly.

In all fairness it might not be a table count restriction so much as a "how much data can be moved at once" since some of those tables have a good amount of rows.

Can anyone else confirm these results?

Answer 9

EngKaso -

Doesnt work for me.  Followed your instructions exactly.  There is no DTS directory where you suggest.  Furthermore, there is no indication that a new program has been installed and nothing in the Start menu.

What am I missing here ?

Answer 10

I have just installed SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT.EXE and the DTS directory is present under 90. The installation is not very intuitive because the components are unchecked by default (with a big X) and the short description displayed when clicking on the components names gives no clue on which contains the DTS. I selected all components and got the DTS - now I need to try it to import my data.

 

Thank you all for the hints.

 

Pierre.

Answer 11

Thanks for bothering to answer yourself - really helped me!

Answer 12

This is just what I was looking for. I am in the process of the download - looking forward to see it work.

Answer 13

Thanks for posting this. Helped with tedious task. To share my install experience with others, also could not find the DTS Wizard after installing the MSI. Did remember from previous use that it could start with a run dtswiz command.

 

After verifying this still worked using run on start menu, simply went to SQL Express Tools > External Tools > Add.

Entered DTS Wizard for title and dtswiz.exe for command. Works nicely.

Answer 14

Surely you mean DTSWizard.exe?  DTSWiz.exe is the standard SQL Server 2000 component.  I ran the .msi, but I'm not sure that this .exe was installed by it, as the date on the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS folder suggests that it was installed when the product was installed.

 

Can anyone at Microsoft give us a list of files and their locations that are installed by SQLServer2005_DTS.msi?

Answer 15

 

No. I mean what I said. What I have been using is the MS Database Publishing Wizard which is a "plug in" for Microsoft Visual Web Developer Express - Paul

Answer 16

Tried it twice, didn't work with SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT.EXE

unticked all the components, then it tells me they are already there and I have a later version, but they aren't there.

I cannot believe such a critical requirement as being able to import from Excel is not in there as default, just doesn't make sense, and is a pain in the proverbial.

Cheers

Answer 17

 

Forget about DTS guys... DTS is dead.  If you're reading this, I'm guessing that you've pulled a good portion of hairs trying to find a DTS-like wizard for SQL Server 2005 Express.  Fear not.  Download and use the latest version of Microsoft's Database Publishing Wizard, which works on SQL Server 2005 Express as well.  Version 1.1 and higher includes the ability to transfer schema and data to/from database servers.  You'll be happy to know that the interface is very similar to the DTS wizard.

Answer 18

 

Very good!

Answer 19

You don't need it - use the database publishing wizard instead.

Answer 20

 

can the database publishing wizard upload a csv file to the sql server?  I can't seem to find a way.

Answer 21

I can't find DTS folder in my system but can find till C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\ ,after then someother folder only availabele like(SDK,EULA,Shared). anybody having same situation. and can have solution?

    

Answer 22

I had already download this file SQLServer2005_DTS.msi and install. The installation was completed. But when i try to use DTS Migration. It was show like this. Please share knowledge. How i can solve this problem?

TITLE: DTS Migration Wizard Error
------------------------------

The Package Migration Wizard requires the SQL Server 2000 Data Transformation Services (DTS) runtime. To install the DTS runtime, run the SQL Server Installation Wizard. On the Components to Install page, click Advanced, then select Legacy Components for installation.

------------------------------
BUTTONS:

OK
------------------------------

Answer 23

Although I am too late I think it is necessary to clarify some terms, all commercial/non-free SQL Server editions have the so-called Integration Service package which include more than DTS Wizard, so the user may have right-click and choose either import or export etc ... but this is not on the SQL Server Express especially 2005, so mainly we are talking about the DTS Wizard for SQL Server 2005 Express, ok ?

As if the SQL Server Express editions dropped classic DTS from 2005, as a couple of docs addressed you should install the 2000 compatibles for classic DTS; anyhow, from SP1 (at least to SP3) to 2005 you may "accidently" have DTS Wizard installed if you previously configured your 'Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools' properly with the 'Business Intelligence Development Studio' component (aka 'setup.exe ADDLOCAL=SQL_WarehouseDevWorkbench' if you prefer command line) ...

If you were luckiless have no idea of the 'Business Intelligence Development Studio' component installed with 'Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools' like me, and see no name by 'Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools' in 'Add/Remove Programs', you may have to look into the registry, since a key SystemComponent=dword:00000001 may prevent it from showing up; try to either temporarily remove this key after backup registry, or launch 'MsiExec.exe /I{7B59F8B5-A9DD-4162-BFB4-5A48F0958F91}' alternatively, you then have another chance to read the name ''Business Intelligence Development Studio' and have your DTS Wizard installed ...

Answer 27
