List of data mining techniques not populated - BI Studio hangs

Hello

I am having the same problem and it is very frustating because I have just reinstalled the OS. I am following the Data Mining tutorial and when it comes to the part of creating a mining structure, the combo box of available algorithms hangs and therefore I cannot continue. I would have expected that a fresh installation would not have such a problem.

My environment is:
- OS: Windows XP Professional SP2 with all the updates (fresh installation)
- SQL Server 2005 and Analysis Server 2005 SP2 Developer Edition (fresh installation, running on my machine -not a network service)
- Running Services: SQL Server, AS, SQL Browser (default instances, not-named)
- Visual Studio 2005 Pro SP1
- Available protocols: Share Memory, Named Pipes, TCP/IP
- Machine: Dell Laptop, Centrino Duo 1.66Ghz with 1Gb RAM.

What can I do to prevent this from happening, besides reinstalling the OS or the SQL Server?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Ernesto que tal!!

List of data mining techniques not populated - BI Studio hangs

From within the Business Intelligence Studio, I've created a data source and a data source view. Next, when I try to build a mining structure from a relational database, the studio hangs when it goes to the screen which lists the data mining techniques.

Has anybody come across this issue? What needs to be done to get further?

I'm using the June CTP of SQL Server 2005.

Thanks,

In http://www.sqlserverdatamining.com I found a post talking about the same problem; the suggested fix was that a previous installation of Analysis Services be removed.

In my case, there was no previous installation of Analysis Services. However, there was an installation of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, which the install program for SQL Server 2005 CTP detected, and asked me to remove (including a Beta of .NET version 2.0).

A few questions:

Can you connect to your AS instance from SQL Mgmt Studio or another client?

Are you running a named instance? If yes, make sure that the SQL Server Browser service is functioning correctly.

Do you have network connectivity? There is a known issue with client-server connectivity when you're off the network.

I can connect to the AS instance from within SQL Management Studio. I can see the data source and data source views that I've already saved before starting with the data mining structure creation. I do not use any other client to connect to this instance.

I am using a default non-named instance.

About network connectivity: I have the TCP / IP stack running, but it is not (always) connected to a network. I also have the ZoneAlaram personal software firewall running. I've turned this off, but it still does not work.

Thanks,
