Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Administering Sql server enterprise edition installation failure RE: Sql server enterprise edition installation failure

  • Sorry to disappoint you, but on XP you will only be able to install the workstation components. You need a server OS to install enterprise edition.

    If your client needs enterprise functionality, you will have to use developer edition, but even then if this is to be used as production box. you will need to install a server OS, get enterprise on it and licensed.
