• Hello Jeff

    It is not possible to install an Enterprise Edition on a XP operating system. You can only install an Express, Compact or Developer edition on a client OS.

    The only things you can install on XP from an Enterprise CD are:

    * Client Connectivity (MADC)

    * SQL Server Management Studio

    The Enterprise Edition requires an Enterprise or Data-Cener Server Edition as operating system.

    See http://www.serverintellect.com/support/sqlserver/sql-enterprise-req.aspx or further information on Microsoft page.
