[dba-VB] Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008 CTP

Hi Jim

True, but indeed I suspect this issue to be true also if the SQL Server 2008 is installed on a remote machine.

VS2008 seems to have very few issues running on Vista Business which is what I use.

Very strange Gustav... but Vista is still just a desktop app and is not a
server class OS...? Jim

Hi al

How odd is this? I just took the time to install SQL Server 2008 Express CTP
and VS2008 on a new machine (Vista) to enjoy a brave new world.
But as soon you attempt to connect to the server, this message pops:

"This server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL
Server 2005 are supported." 

They must be kidding ... even an add-on for VS2005 is available:

aa0f-9df094f993bf&displaylang=en

How odd is this? VS2008 ships with the SQL Server 2005 Express but still.
Any ideas on how to get it to accept SQL Server 2008 CTP?
