Re: SQL Server 2008 set up

Hi Gail,

Yep, I was talking about you =) It's nice to see you around.

However, I've checked out this link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx and I still see
it's wrong. Besides, I'm not sure if you were talking about this link when
you were saying "corrected". But as you know, as everybody do not download
BOL's offline version, this link is the most popular thing to check for
system requirements. I hope it's going to be corrected ASAP so that people
would not be confused.

Hi Charles,

I believe that there's something wrong with the mentioned documentation.

After SQL Server 2008 RTM was released, I tested it installing on a Client
OS and the result is: you can install SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition
on Client OSs (XP\Vista). As this was not something usual, we discussed
about this in "public.sqlserver.tools" NG under "Replace SSMS 2005 with
SSMS 2008" topic. I reported this in Connect and here's the answer:

By Peter Saddow [Microsoft]:
Thanks for contacting us. For SQL Server 2008, we did not implement rules
to
prevent you from installing an higher-level SQL editions on lower level OS
editions, such as SQL ENT on a client OS.

There was an MS guy around here who works about documentation, I hope he
realizes our discussions about this mistake and take necessary action to
correct it.

Hi Alex,
Thank you for using Microsoft MSDN Managed Newsgroup. My name is Charles
and I will assist you on this issue.

Based on your description, I understand that you would like to know if
your laptop OS conditions satisfy the installation requirements of SQL
Server 2008 Enterprise Edition.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.

For Windows Vista system, you can only install SQL Server 2008 Developer
Edition or Express Edition or Enterprise Evaluation Edition. It does not
support SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition.
For more information, you can refer to this article:
Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2008
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx

To install SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition, you need to install
Windows Server 2003 or 2008. You can also find the list of supported OS
in the above article.

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel
free to let me know.

Best regards,
Charles Wang
