SQL Server Installation on XP SP2

  • I'm a newbie to installations.

    When installing the only options I am given are either client or connectivity tools. The usual Server Client tools option is not available.

    If I go ahead and install just client tools I am unable to register a server to begin creating any DB's within EM or QA. Can anyone tell me what I am missing?

    Thanks.

  • I belive you can only install Developer or Enterprise evaluation on XP. Which version are you trying to install?

  • I recently discovered that a SQL 2005 Enterprise installation requires a server OS like windows 2003 server.

    On a none server OS (like XP) you can only install the client components.
