sql server trial version 2005 installation problem

Does anybody know if this trial version can be installed on the vista home premium edition? The microsoft website does not show vista and I can't believe that microsoft does not have a compatible version for vista yet.

As it says that it will run on Windows XP it should run on Windows Vista. I have the developer edition of SQL Server 2005 installed on Vista and it works fine.

Thanks for the info. I found another link that installed sql server express with the sp2 patch and finally received the manager studio componet.
Now I am having trouble installing the northwind database.
