Hey ..

Yess, You can install SQL 2005 on Vista Laptop. I was having same problem. But then I installed it from Cd and then run the SQLEXPR_ADV .. You can get it from Microsoft site.

There are various Softwares for SQL server 2005. I m sorry i cud n't remember the exact link. and file name. But you will get it there. You have do a little R & D.

I hope you will succeed in this.


Regards..:)

After 3 weeks of search, i came to know that SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition wont work with Vista, instead of telling this in straight some websites made me to download sp2 unnecessarily.

Here's the conclusion: If you want to work with SQL server 2005 enterprise edition change you OS to Server 2003. Else be with Vista but install SQL server 2005 Developer Edition.

Even if you have Developer edition of SQL 2005 and vista, just make sure to check your computer name. There is a bug and your system name should be ALL caps for the SQL 2005 to install correctly.
