I have a new system with Vista Ultimate 64-bit installed. I then installed Visual Studio 2008 Professional, and got the updates for it via windows update. I then installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition, and at the end of the install process, there was a message about "known incompatibilities" with a program that was alleged to be part of Visual Studio 2005, and Vista provided a set of 2 links to SP1 updates for VS 2005. I chose to download and save the two update executables from MS, but I'm not sure that running either of them would be a good idea, given that I have VS 2008 installed, not VS 2005.
Anyone else run into this, or know the best course of action?

I would ask this question on the correct MS forum.

I had the same problem, you need sp2 of sql server 2005 on vista (nothing less for compatibilty)... and quite a few updates on VS 2005 iirc.

I ended up having a different problem that caused me to have to reinstall the entire operating system twice, but once I got past THAT problem, I discovered that MS Update eventually brings down those fixes and installs what it needs. Thanks folks, and my apologies for the delay in response - I've been away from the office for the holidays and didn't have a lot of time at home to do much more than fix the opsys...
