| I am unable to successfully install SQL Server 2005 Developer edition here on a machine at work. Database service and client tools fails to install. I get the message that:"The computer running SQL Server setup does not meet the minimum system requirements for this SQL server release. Microsoft SQL Server is not supported by this operating system."I am running Win XP pro sp2 with all the latest updates installed. What could be causing this and how do I fix it? |

| But it is windows xp pro sp2, and I have installed on that os before. The readme even says that win xp sp2 is a valid os to install on. |
