problem with installation of Sql Server Management Studio Express 2008

  • the installation stops because of a Rule Check Failure -"Previous Release of Microsoft Visual Studio failed"

    It says that i have to " Upgrade Visual Studio 2008 to sp1 before installing Sql server 2008"

    i already have 'SQL Server Express 2008 r2' and 'Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition' installed.

    Please suggest how i can install SSME..

  • The description is telling you what to do:

    Apply SP1 to your Visual Studio 2008 installation.

  • is Sp1 meant for all editions...since mine is Professional edition...?

  • Yes, a service pack is always applicable to all editions (standard, professional, etc.).
