Hi all,
All I want is SMS on my desktop machine. Every Microsoft install package that I've tried for sql 2008 has failed completely. Is it physically possible to have SMS 2008 exist on a Windows 7 64-bit box?
I get messages saying .Net 3.5 is not installed. It is installed, both in Framwork and Framework64, same with .NET 4.0.
I get messages saying "This program has known compatibility issues with this version of windows.."
I get messages saying I need sql-server 2008 SP1 installed--I don't have nor do I want the *database* installed, I just want the darn Studio installed so I can connect to the real servers from my desktop.
I've googled this and gone to 'special' downloads from Microsoft that supposedly address this issue but everything ends up with a fail.
Does anyone here have a solution to this? Thanks,
--Jim
