Author  Topic  fayalif Starting Member 8 Posts Posted - 2010-07-14 : 03:19:54 i need to connect SQL Server 2008 instance with SQL Server 2005 Management Studio. There is a limitation on my Box that i can not upgrade the framework to 3.5. There are few applications running on my box which will stop functioning after 3.5 upgrade. Is there any way to achieve this? I GOOGLE this problem and found a Cumulative update package for this problem. i installed this too but there is no hope so far. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943656 I would be very grateful if someone can help me out in this regard.
