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.

> John|||I agree with Tibor. I've been using SQL Server 2005 DE since Vista Business
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!

Developer limitation under SQL 2005 under Vista Ultimate 64 bit

Just to be clear, I would like to know if a problem I face is due to an error on my part or a limitation on Microsoft's. In my experience (several hours-long installations, removals, reinstallations, using the skuupgrade=1 parameter from the command line, ad nauseum) I have concluded that the best one can do installing SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition from the Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition package is to get the Express Edition, (actually styled MSSMLBIZ). In particular, what I'm hoping to be able to do is program to a test database that I have from my client, which I was able to do on my XP Professional machine. But on my new Vista Ultimate 64 bit machine (which will only let me install the x64 version of SQL Server 2005), I get an instance that is characterized as SQL Server Express and generates the following error message when I try to attach to the same MDF file to which I was able to attach under my prior, XP-Pro based configuration:

==========End of reproduction of error messages and help text ====================================

The Developer Edition, of course, is supposed to enable us to program to all levels of the database, and I would hate to think it is really crippled in this way, but after uninstalling everything, reinstalling multiple times (devoting several days to the process), it sure beats me how I can overcome this problem short of going back to my old machine. Any definitive answers on this apparent limitation, or useful procedural advice on installation quirks, would be appreciated (and, yes, I've spent a lot of time going through the installation/setup forum -- if the answer is there I can't find it).

Seems as you want to attach a user database to a Express instance ? What is the output if you connect to the mentioned server and execute the following command: SELECT @.@.Version ?

|||The server is my local machine, and I cannot attach to the database on it, as I tried to explain above, because the database is too big. When I run the command you suggest without attaching a specific database, the following output is obtained:

I must say the X86 reference surprises me. I hope this means more to you than it does to me.

Using a SQL Server Express edition you are limited to 4GB database size (all databases in sum of the instance)

I face the same problem... I have a Vista ultimate x64 and I tried to attach a small MDF to SQLexpress and I had an error. It's the same if I try to create a new db?

could you give me some help
