Re: Installing SQL Server 2005 on Vista RTM

Yes, I've also noticed that Vista isn't mentioned as a suported OS,
but it's early days yet. I guess it takes time to update every
product page on the MS site and add Vista as a supported OS.

Have you actually tried the solution from KB 920201?
Does it install then?

I was able to install it on Vista RC1 without any problem and it
even does not give that compatability warning box. But when i
tried to install it on Vista RTM i get that warning box and it
would not install.

I find it strange that i cannot install SQL 2005 on Vista RTM. I
have been posting this question on various forums, but no one
seems to have any idea. Even the SQL Server site does not
include Vista as the supported OS on its requirement page.

If i cant install it on Vista RTM, where else am i supposed to
install it?

This article mentions your problem on Vista beta 2. Maybe worth
a check:

920201 - You receive a warning message on the System
Configuration Check page of the SQL Server 2005 Setup program
on a computer that is running Windows Vista Beta 2 or a Server
Core installation of Windows Server "Longhorn"

I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 Standard on Vista RTM.
After providing all the details, the setup stops with a error
message saying that the selected features are not valid with
this version of SQL Server.

I also get a warning saying that IIS is not installed or
detected when in fact IIS is running on my machine and the
installation process detects IIS.

Is SQL Server 2005 supported by Vista RTM.

I realy need this installation going and would appreciate any
help in this regard.
