Is SQL Server 2005 compatable with Windows Vista Business ?????? home???? ultimate??
April 11, 2008 at 10:12 am
I just installed both SQL2005 workgroup and upgraded afterwards to SQL2005 Developer Edition (because WG edition doesn't install the Profiler !) on Vista Ultimate. When installing from older SQL2005 sets, a warning is given but just start Microsoft Update after installing or download SQL2005 SP2 separately. No problems so far. I think Vista Business shouldn't be a problem either, but I'm not so sure about Home edition.
On the other hand, I didn't manage yet to install SQL2000 on Vista, so if anyone has any ideas there ...

Keep in mind that Reporting services does NOT install on any of the home editions, due to some missing components (Windows Auth) in the OS (removed from the home editions). Business and Ultimate will run SSRS, though.

Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?
