Which .NET Framework does it need?
I guess we should have .Net 3.5 SP1 in order to proceed with Denali installation and the installation setup will install .Net FrameWork 4.0.

Hi, thanks for the links but still cannot find a download for SQL Server Management Studio 2012. Any ideas???
I’m using that one – http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/D/D/8DD7BDBA-CEF7-4D8E-8C16-D9F69527F909/ENU/x64/SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe
Hi, yeh thanks mate. I realised after I downloaded it that the WT (with Tools) package includes the Management Studio tools. It’s just that in Australia bandwidth is a premium and downloading 700Mb to test an assumption is not always the best thing. Worked out well though – thanks mate :)

Did you receive an answer to this question, I am having a similar issue I need to resolve
When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now
each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Thank you!

Can you install SQL 2012 Standard and then just use an Enterprise License to enable the Enterprise features or is there a standalone iso for Enterprise?
you can do edition upgrade. Refer books online to know supported matrix. ENT can’t be downgraded to STD.
Hi Whether Evaluation edition is same as developer edition. Can you please confirm.
Feature wise both are same. There are different in terms on licensing like you can’t use developer edition for production purpose and EVAL will expire after 180 days.
