Install sqllocalDb 2012 fail - CMD doesn't recognize the command sqllocaldb.exe

_{Monday, January 22, 2018 1:34 PM}

I build WinForms Entity FrameWork 6 CodeFirst application in c#. I added Setup project for Installation of my app. The requirement of my application is working off-line so I need to make MSI file includes all dependencies loaded from the same directory. For some reason, some packages as Framework 4.5 86_64 and SqlLocalDB2012, I had to find by myself. So I did and now it does make MSI file, but on some computers my app doesn't work. It gives Network error 50 or 51 or 52. My app cann't reach .mdf DB file (EF should create it- Code First). May be this issue related to user access that causes for Installation of SQL EXPRESS localDb to fail? I found that framework 4.7 installed good. But sqllocalDb.exe fall. Even when I run install sqllocaldb msi (x64) it does complete installation with success msg. But I can't run it from cmd- it doesn't recognize the command sqllocaldb.exe

Thanks

Hi Elisha.net,

SqlLocalDB can be found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn, please check if SqlLocalDB.exe exists in this folder.

If it exists, please try to use "cd" command in CMD and then use SqlLocalDB.exe in this dictionary.

If it works, this is a problem related to environment variable, did you use an Administrator account to install it? Please check the Windows Event Log.

Best Regards,

Teige
