Ok guys, I am trying to install Sql server 2005 on Vista but I am still stuck with this warning message in the System Configuration Check during Sql server 2K5 installation :

SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility (Warning)
Messages
* SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility

* Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this operating system. For details, see 'Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005' in Microsoft SQL Server Books Online.

Now, I know I need to install SP2 but how the hell I am going to install SP2 if Sql server 2005 doesn't install any of the components including Sql server Database services, Analysus services, Reporting integration services( only the workstation component is available for installation)?

Any work around for this issue?

P.S.: I didn't install VS.NET 2005 yet, can this solve the problem?

I am running on Vista Ultimate and Installing Sql Server 2k5 enterprise edition

Thanks.

So, is it a "Warning" like the message says, and you can just ignore it, or does it kick out of installation completely and bomb?

It seems that Sql Server 2005 Enterprise edition isn't supported under vista only a server OS like Longhorn Beta 2!

I will get Developer edition instead.

Thanks for the help.
