Installing Reporting server 2005 Installation on home premium VISTA??

hi,

Does Anybody Tried Installing Reporting server 2005 Installation on home premium VISTA??

I tried it.

I used Developer Edition Of sql server 2005. As U cant Install Enterprise version, as it does not support it.

Here is What i found...



1. You need Sql server 2005 Sp2 Installed.

2. To install Reporting server U need IIS.
IIS is not Present/installed by default.
U can enable IIS by going to Control Panel\Programs and Features , Click Turn windows On / off.
Then check the box of IIS.

But this doesn't Solve the problem...

Coz for Sql server 2005 to be installed U need Windows Authentication check box.

And This Windows Authentication Box Is not Available in scaled Down version of IIS 7.0... The IIS version which is shipped with the Home Premium is scaled down version of IIS 7.0

So The Conclusion is U cant Install Sql server 2005 reporting services on Vista Home Premium...


Hope I am correct...
If not Correct me... wink.gif
