Hi

I have the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition CD and have succesfully installed this on my desktop.

When I install this on my Laptop the version is 2000(print @@version) is only Desktop version (2gb db limit!)....

Any ideas on why the full enterprise edition is not installing on the laptop?!!

Version on my Desktop:
MICROSOFT SQL SERVER 2005-9.00.1399.06 (INTEL X86)
OCT 14 2005 00.33.37
1988-2005 microsoft corp
enterprise edition on windows NT 5.2 (build 3790-service pack)

Version on my laptop:
MICROSOFT SQL SERVER 2000-8.00.2039(INTEL X86)
May 14 2005 23:18:38
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation
desktop engine on windows NT 5.1 (build 2600: service pack 2)

The Laptop spec is:
Intel 1.66Ghz
1 Gb Ram
50 Gb HDD
Windows XP SP2

Both SQL Server 2005 versions are installed from the same CD so why would there be a difference?

Thanks in advance!

SQL Server Enterprise is not installable on Windows XP.
Only Developer and Standard versions are.

So it you were paying attention to the install screen, you would have noticed that only the client tools were installed.
