can't install sql developer on vista

i am having a heck of a time -- i know SP2 makes sql server 2005
incompatiable... however, i need an instance INSTALLED first and that is
where the problem lies.
i of course built my system and put office on before visual studio - so
office put sql express on the system (which worked by the way) -- so i had to
uninstall sql express, because i wanted to use sql developer.
when i try to install sql developer it doesn't install owc , sql server or
the workstation tools.
how do I get sql installed on vista so i can continue working?
thanks

Did you check what the readme says about Vista issues?
http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/B/5/2B5E5D37-9B17-423D-BC8F-B11ECD4195B4/ReadmeSQL2005SP2.htm#_windows_vista or the log files such as SQLSTP.log
John|||i did read this, but this relates to SP2 - not the base installation WHICH
has to be there before apply SP2 -- and that's what i'm having trouble with.
any clues?

So what messages are you getting when it fails? What does SQLStp.log say?

I found the following similar problem and resolution. I am not sure if this
is exactly what you experienced, but it sounds close.
I installed:
-Vista Ultimate x64
-Sql Server 2005 Express Edition (via Visual Studio 2005 Pro)
At this point, Sql Express is installed, but NOT Management Studio. I then
tried to Install Sql Dev edition. I discovered that it was considered an
Upgrade from Sql Express. But the kicker: it would NOT install the
Workstation Tools because it thought it didnâ't qualify for an Upgrade! I
think this is a bug personally. Even though Sql Express was installed AND is
a valid upgrade path to Sql Dev, the problem is that it didnâ't see Management
Studio, and therefore assumed you donâ't have rights to install Dev edition
Workstation Tools (completely stupid).
Resolution:
-Go to Programs and Features
-Right Click Microsoft Sql Server 2005 and select Uninstall
-Check ONLY the box that says Workstation Tools (donâ't uninstall Sql Express
unless you donâ't want it)
-Click Next and finish the Uninstall of the Workstation Components
-Run setup for Sql Dev edition
Worked like a charm. I now have Sql 2005 Express and Sql Dev 2005 editions
running, and the Dev edition tools wherewith to manage them (and BTW, there
are reasons you want to keep Sql Express depending on what you are
developing). Apparently, Sql Dev edition has now been tricked into thinking
itâ's a clean install since the Express edition of the workstation tools were
removed (no longer an â'unsupported upgradeâ' scenario). It will therefore go
ahead with Dev edition Workstation tools, and Management Studio also gets
installed.
Tip: Remember to run SP2 for both Sql Express and Sql Dev at this point.
Also, I believe an alternative resolution is to simply install Sql Express
Management Studio after Sql Express (Visual Studio), and THEN run the Sql Dev
edition install, and it will in fact upgrade everything properly. I cannot
confirm this, but I recall having a conversation with a friend at Microsoft
who said that worked for him.
I hope this post helps some poor souls out there!
-David P.|||You helped out this poor soul.
Thanks David.|||David
Thanks for the information
Unfortuntately it didn't work, I'm still getting SQLXMK4; OWC11 and
Workstation errors so they don't install
any other thoughts?
thanks

ended up copying the install to my hard drive and then right clicking on the
setup.exe and choose properties. I then went to the compatability tab and
checked the box that said run in compatability mode for Windows XP Service
Pack2 and also checked the box that said run this prgram as administrator. I
then ran the setup.exe by double clicking on it and I no longer got any
errors.
