SQL Server 2005 on Windows Vista [modified]
-
Hi, Anyone here successfully able to install SQL Server on Vista? I can't seem to install the Databae Engine component. Each time the install finishes, I can't find the service in SCM. Anyone been through the same experience? (I have Windows Vista Enterprise SP1 and I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 Enterprise) TIA!

Hmm - unfortunately I can't give you other help then yes - I've installed SQL Server (developer edition) on my Vista (x64). I did not have any such problems as you mention - but I do recall there was a large service pack (for SQL Server 2005 for Vista. Don't know if that might be the way to go
