I have been asked many times before “Does SQL Server Dev edition can be installed on Vista operating system?”
I decided to find out the answer of this myself. I have just got new system which has Vista Ultimate Installed on it. I installed SQL Server 2005 dev edition on it. While installing it suggested that there are few component will not work with Vista and to make them work make sure to install SQL Server 2005 SP2. I was any way planning to install that. Once installation of SQL Server 2005 over, I installed SQL Server 2005 SP2. After restart I ran SQL Server 2005 and it just worked fine.
I am loving the combination of SQL Server 2005 and Vista Ultimate.

Have had a developer edition installed on Vista x64 Home Premium for quite a while now, without any problems what so ever.
I have installed vista ultimate and sql server 2005 devloper edition in my computer.I also connect sql 2005 in window authentication but when I CREATE any database in following query
CREATE DATABASE MANEESH
USE MANEESH
Its give me everytime following error:-
Msg 262, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database ‘master’.
&
Msg 911, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database ‘maneesh’. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
But i entered ev name correctly.and i am not making anytype tabels in sql2005.Solve these problem please.

The only real issue I had was on the SSRS side. Data Engine, Analysis Services, Integration Services all installed without issue and were fine once SP2 was applied.
Hi,
I have installed SQL Server 2005 on a Vista Business. I am able to connect to SQL Server instance on Vista machine from Management Studio on other machine (Running on Xp).
But I am not able to connect to Analysis Services default instance on Vista Business machine from Management Studio on other machine (Running on Xp).
I did all settings with Vista firewall exceptions, SQL Surface area configuration, Security, everything.
Please tell me do I need to modify something else on ‘Vista Business’.
Thank you.
