SQL Full Text Search service
I am attempting to get Team Foundation Server 2008 working on the latest build of Windows Server 2008 (from Monday on Connect) along with the November build of SQL Server 2008.
When installing SQL Server 2008, I told it to go ahead and install all components, making sure that the Full Text Search was one of them. After that install finished successfully, I started the install for TFS2008, and it reported that the SQL Full Text Search service is not installed. I loaded up the Sql Server Configuration Manager, and I am not seeing it listed under the Services, as I am under the impression that it should belong there. I also checked the service listing within Windows, services.msc, and it is also absent from there.
Is there something obvious I am missing, or did the SQL Server install misreport the "successful" install of the Full Text Search service? If this is the case, could someone point me in the correct direction so that I can install this feature? I am not familiar with SQL Server's command-line installation interface (which is required to add features in this CTP).
Thanks!

Hmm...Please check if you have the file msftesql.exe installed at C:/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER/MSSQL/Binn/. Then, you may use sc.exe to register that executable as a service. I referred to my current SQL Server 2005 installation and checked the details from Services and Registry.
This should get rid of the error...
Hope this help...
Thanks it helps me.
my steps to solve this trouble
1) run command like
#sc.exe create msftesql binPath= "C:/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER/MSSQL/Binn/msftesql.exe -s:MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER -f:MSSQLSERVER" DisplayName= "SQL Server FullText Search (MSSQLSERVER)"
2) go to registry and correct path (put it into double quotes)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Services/msftesql]
"ImagePath"
before:
C:/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER/MSSQL/Binn/msftesql.exe -s:MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER -f:MSSQLSERVER
after:
"C:/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER/MSSQL/Binn/msftesql.exe" -s:MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER -f:MSSQLSERVER
Hi Ryan,
Hi TechNet-Community,
same here...:-( I try to install TFS 2008 RTM on a Windows Server 2003 R2 (SP2) with SQL Server 2008 Developer (CTP Nov.). Only in the SQL Management Studio at Management the Full-Text index is listed.
Is there any solution? How can I add features with command-line in SQL 2008?
There's no "How to"-Direction at TechNet.

Hi Ryan,
I had a smiliar problem. Actually, I did not install the full text search option because it's not mentioned in the TFS installation document.
What I did was sort of hard way, but it is (imho) a fast solution:
Detach any databases. If you did the same thing as I did, you should have three databases from the sharepoint services installation.
Remove the whole SQL Server and re-install ist again, and double or better triple-check the checkbox in front of the full text search ;-)
Attach the databases, install TFS and that's it.
That was roundabout 15 to 20 minutes. I'd guess, you would spend more time on researching how you can install the full text search in an existing SQL Server instance.
Greets,
Sebastian

Is this the solution to the problem where after I INSTALLED Katmai, Full Text option is disabled on databases as if you are using SQL Express when compared to SQL Express w/ Advanced Services or Standard edition as an example?
Appreciate it.
Thanks,

me have same problem... install SQL2008 febCTP with full options instqall (fulltext was checked)... and then wanna try TFS2008, but... heve same problem and no file msftesql.exe any where on the disk
It appears to be that the the version used more than likely is the problem.
Guess we need to wait until RC or full version is available?
Hi MacJames, Kastaka, Danyr,
Here is a solution to the missing msftesql.exe file on the MS SQL Server 2008 platform.
CASE: You instal MS SQL 2008 Server and cannot find file msftesql (most probably in folder: C:/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER/MSSQL/Binn/). Because of the absence of this file you are unable to install dependent applications - e.g. MS Dynamics 4.0 etc.
CAUSE: The msftesql is the "Microsoft SQL Server Full Text Indexing Service" but it goes by a different name under SQL Server 2008.
SOLUTION: The above conflict is from a version change of name for the 'Microsoft SQL Server Full Text Indexing Service' which was called msftesql previously, but has now been changed to a new name under MS SQL Server 2008. To correct this slight anomally.
1. Run > Regedit
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services
3. Export MSSQLFDLauncher Folder (safety precaution)
4. Rename MSSQLFDLauncher Folder to msftesql
(NB: if you have already run sc.exe to manually create an msftesql entry in Registry you will have a conflict as the folder (msftesql) will already exist in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services, to solve just manually export the msftesql folder you created and delete it. But if you have not run the sc.exe command to manually create a Registry folder (msftesql) you will rename MSSQLFDLauncher Folder to msftesql successfully, proceed to next step).
5. Reboot System
6. Go to Administrative Tools > Services > SQL Full-text Filter Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER) and START the service
7. Rename back msftesql Folder to MSSQLFDLauncher in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services
Hope this helps!
1. Copy the AT folder from the original media to D:
2. Make a folder called D:/SP1Install
3. Download the SP1 file to D:/SP1Install
4. Make a folder called D:/SP1Extract
5. Run this command to extract the install to the SP1Extract folder: D:/SP1Install/TFS90SP1-KB949786-ENU /extract:D:/SP1Extract
6. Make a folder called D:/Merge
7. Run this command to slipstream the SP1 into the install:
msiexec /a D:/AT/vs_setup.msi /p D:/SP1Extract/TFS90sp1-KB94976.msp TARGETDIR=D:/Merge
Once you finish the slipstream, then run the setup from the Merge folder.
