This computer must have at least Windows 2000 SP4 and the user must have administrator privileges in order to continue. Also, you must first install the SMO Components and the .NET Framework version 2.0.
Well, the machine is Windows XP Pro SP2 (fully patched), the account I am installing with is a member of the local admin group, my machine has both .Net framework 1.1 and 2.0 loaded (could this be the issue?). I guessed that installing 2.0 would upgrade 1.1. but that does not appear to be the case. I also went back and reinstalled SQL Server, unselected "Hide advanced configuration options", clicked on Client Components and selected "Entire feature will be installed on local hard drive", and finished the install. The docs I found on SQL 2005 indicate that this would install the SMO Components. Thus, I should have all of the bases covered, but the Express Manager install still errors out with the message above.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated,
JonLooking at the Product page for SQL Express, the Management App is not included with the CTP. To use it you are going to have to use the beta 2 version.
MS SQL Express product page
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/sql/|||I have installed the latest SQL Server 2005 Express, and even with the problems with remote connections(a new port number by default) I also recieve the error about the SMO components and .Net Framework version 2.0. .Net Framework version 2.0 is installed, and functioning, according the the install I have the SMO components; BUT I still receive the message when attempting to install the Express Manager.
I have not installed any beta versions.
Is it possible that the SMO components are not registered correctly? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
