SQL 2005 Installation Tips

Hello everyone, its been far too long since i've last posted.  I discovered something today that helped me out, I'm sure its common knowledge by now but for me it really saved quite a bit of work.  So although its not news I wanted to post it on my little blog.  Ok here it is: Basically i'm working on a project that needs both Whidbey Beta2 as well as April CTP of sql server.  I thought or hoped that since these two seem to play to gether on my main dev workstation that SQL 2005 would just install into the laptop w/o any fuss.  Well this of course wasn't so.  SQL2k5 claimed to have a utility that would "fix" the computer for me.  It got close but what was great was that it showed me what was wrong.  Or so I thought.  I uninstalled everything that the sql Build Uninstall Wizard found but still sql wouldn't install the .net fx more specifically, when it got to that step it would just say beta components detected and die.  So here's what i eventually discovered.  If you go into the Redist folder of sql2k5, then to the 2.0 folder  you can manually install the framework, and when you do this it lists all the things that are incompatible.  Just remove these and away you go!

I just migrated from SQL 2k to SQl2k5, performance gone for a task,  and some of the operators not compatible with 2005.
