what patches do i need when using sql server with vista?

  • im running sql server 2005 developer edition on vista ultimate. what patches or upgrade packs do i require to allow me to run sql server with no issues? i still cannot get endpoints to work and i feel it has to be a vista issue

  • I believe you need to have SP 2.  My trouble is I can't get the database engine to install.  Did you have troubles installing initially?

     

  • no trouble at all. what exact error are you getting? i found though that when installing, set up as mixed mode auth, and make sure to enable the sa account so that when the server is installed you can log on and create an account. for some reason i could not log on if i did not initially do the above.

  • last error was on an alter database statement and it failed to install the database engine.  I haven't tried since then, but will give it another go tonight.
