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:

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?
