Windows cannot start SQL server on the local computer. Code126

When using sql2005 (or 2008), you may encounter the following error message:

"Windows cannot start SQL server on a local computer.

For more information, see System Event Logs. If this is a non-Microsoft Service, contact the service provider and refer to the error code 126 of the specific service"

Solution:

In the "configuration tool" of 2005 (2008), there is a "SQL Server Configuration Manager" --> sqlserver 2005 (2008) network configuration,

Both mssolserver and sqlexpress have the via attribute. If your service cannot be started, disable the via setting.

Then restart the service.

I tried and failed to start the service in 2008,

Check that both mssolserver and sqlexpress have a via attribute,

Set via to disabled, and then restart the service. The service can be started normally.
