During installation, I get a warning message that the hardware doesn't meet minimum requirement. But I'm running it on a laptop with 30 gigs of free space and running Windows XP home edition.
When I click on install anyway, I end up getting an error message that I need a "sqlncli.msi" file that can't be found.
Could it be because I have both 2.0 NET and 3.0 NET installed?
Thanks in advance for your help.

What Edition of SQL Server 2005 are you attempting to install?
As you can see from the chart at this reference, only Developers' Edition and SQL Server Express will install on XP Home -and only if XP Home is Service Pack 2 (SP2).
|||Thanks for your reply.
Express, and my laptop already has SP2.
Anything else I should check for?
If not, where exactly do I find "sqlncli.msi" and how do I run that? Would that solve the issue?
Thanks again.

Not really sure what to look for in the first link. In your opinion, what tends to be the usual culprit? I have a Toshiba Tecra from late 2005 and I'm running IE7.
Thanks. I've been up all night on this and am fried. I'll catch some shut eye and be back. Any additional insights/best guesses/advices would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
