Re: SQL2005 Development Edition in Vista Ulitmate

I don't think there is such an obligation.

I've been using all editions of SQL Server 2005 (except for Enterprise Edition because this edition can not be installed on Vista, XP etc.) on my Windows Vista Business and I've not met any problem yet. There was not SP2 when I installed SQL Server 2005 DE on my Vista Business and it worked good.

So I believe it will not arise any problem in Vista Ultimate as well.

However, you can not install SQL Server on a Vista Starter Edition.

Can you tell me what error message do you get exactly?

Hi
I have beenlooking at installing the above product in Vista for the first time. I am warned of known compatibility issues, which I find amazing after all this time.
I found a knowledte base article which said SQL2005 it would run with Service Pack 2 on Vista equipped with SP1 Beta, if not in production mode.
I am not one of the priviledged testers of Vista SP Beta 1. Can some one advise my what I have to do to get SQL to run. Or do I wait till the next year for the release of SP1.
