Hello,
I have tried to install SQL Server 2005 on Windows 2008 64 bit SP2.
I have installed SQL server 2005 and
SQL server 2005 SP2, however only the SQL Server 2005 configuration tools appear.
I have found these posts which have a similiar iis, but they are for web server not standard

Are you sure you installed everything? (i.e. Did you just install the client tools, and not the database services?)

Yes I have, and I have repeated the process on two different servers with the same results. My understanding from the links above is that this is an issue that arises from server 2008 begining released after sql 2005. The above links give a fix location but only for web edition. The patch does not install on standard. Surely someone must have come across this issue ?

Any help would be gratefully apprieciated. Has anyone been able to install SQL server standard 2005 on windows server standard 2008 x64 bit ?
I have done this on two servers now both with the same results above. Help!!
