Windows Update (my install required 33 updates).

So what is the installation order I’ve now used that works: I’d hate to have lost an activation of Windows because of a dodgy install. I am also lucky that I don’t activate Windows until I’m sure everything is installed correctly – after all I do have 30 days to activate Windows. I suppose I was lucky to have that option. It concluded that the client tools were not valid as part of the upgrade and refused to install them.Įventually I came to the conclusion that it would be quicker, given my recent wiping of my laptop to just start afresh again and install things in the correct order. Running the Service Pack 2 upgrade did not help either. (Well, I suppose some of them were, at least the ones installed by Visual Studio 2008’s installer).

When I went to install SQL Server 2005 it refused to install the management studio saying that more up-to-date versions of the tools were already available on the machine. The express edition does not come with SQL Server Management Studio. I’d installed Visual Studio 2008 first, and as part of that installation it installed SQL Server 2005 Express edition. No matter what I tried I could not seem to get it to install the SQL Server Management Studio – somehow it was convinced that it already existed. However, one thing that didn’t work out was the installation of SQL Server 2005.

I’ve now started to reinstall everything from scratch again. Yesterday I paved my laptop in order to upgrade to Windows Vista.
