Well...i didnt get that completely!

I have installed SQL Server 2000 and the SQL SERVER 2005 Express Edition on my Windows XP earlier and they worked fine.

So, I think the current version i.e. SQL SERVER 2005 Enterprise Edition must also work normally. Do u think, it requires some server component that might be present in the SERVER OS and not the CLIENT OS?

Thanks

n installing a new OS will b a bit difficult for me. coz this I m using on my own standalone home machine for doing out a project.....and I may not be able to get a new OS at this point of time!

Any other things, u might want to suggest?
