Devloper Edition on Vista

Hello all,
Quick question. I know that SQL Developer Edition works on XP sp2. Anyone
know if SQL Developer Edition will work on Vista Business. I'm ordering a
new notebook and don't want to have to remove the OS if I don't have to.
Thanks
JohnI'm running Dev Ed on Vista (Ultimate), no real problems. SQL Books Online lists what OS are
supported for each SQL Edition, and Vista with Business should be fine. Just install SQL 2005 sp2
after initial install, so you are supported (etc).
You are in for some work if you want to install RS. Basically, you need to make Vista "present " IIS
6. It was a while since I did this, but with some help from Google etc it wasn't that tough.
I should add that I disabled UAC. I ran it for a couple of days, but it annoyed me too much. I don't
think it caused any particular SQL Server problems, though.

released and no problem at all.
Regarding to IIS, IIS is not being fully installed by default so you need to
add some components to its installation so that you'll be able to use it for
your RS or anything else.
You may want to check out the following link to learn about exactly what
components of IIS should be installed to make RS checkbox enabled when in
SQL Server Setup.

I'm having problem installing SQL Reporting Server on Vista Business without
success. Microsoft Vista said 1% incompatiability problem. It is a real
nightmare!
