  Hi,

  I am getting this error when i am trying to install Sql Server 2005 on my Vista Laptop.I had earlier installed Sql Server Eval version and it was working fine. I uninstalled Eval Version and installed enterprise version.

  Your help will be appreciated.

  sql 2005 enterprise can only be installed to appropriate server operating system. For Vista\XP you will need developer or express edition
