  • alright! another undeserved point for me! wild guess for the win!

  • Interesting, I found this documentation which seems to contradict the documentation you posted:

    Any scenarios not specified in the list above are not supported, including but not limited to the following:

    • Installing SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2017 on same computer (side by side).
    • It's about 2/3 of the way down the page on the section titled SQL Server 2017 support for SQL Server 2005.

    • Tricky question cause SQL Server 2005 is only supported in Windows Server 2008 or below, and SQL Server 2017 is only supported in WS 2012 and higher... ;p

      Tricky question cause SQL Server 2005 is only supported in Windows Server 2008 or below, and SQL Server 2017 is only supported in WS 2012 and higher... ;p

      That's interesting, as I found a note that says SQL Server 2017 cannot be installed with any earlier versions if your OS is Windows Server 2018 R2:

      "SQL Server 2017 cannot be installed side-by-side with earlier versions of SQL Server on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Core SP1. For more information on Server Core installations, see Install SQL Server 2016 on Server Core."

    • I never had to have anything but the latest version and the one before. Thanks for the question!

      I think that's only on the Core edition.  But yes, I chose SQL Server 2008 and above since I didn't think there's a version of Windows that supports 2005 and 2017.
