Try to install SQL Server 2005 client tool on window XP

  • I tried to install SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition (32 bit) on my laptop which runs on window XP profession version with service pack 2. I kept getting error about failing to install SQLXML4.

    I just want to install the client tool so I can connect to my company's database to work.

    Should I use some other version?

  • You can only install client tools and not the database engine of Sql Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. To install client tools run the Sqlrun_tools.msi file available in Tools\Setup folder of your Sql Server 2005 CD/DVD. If you encounter any error pls post the content of summary.txt file so that it will be easier to troubleshoot.

  • You can also run the setup and only tick the workstation components.
