[dba-SQLServer] SQL Server 2008 Installation

Donna,

Unless you just have to have 2008, I would suggest 2008R2 instead.

You will need the framework, so you do not need to change that.  But,
if you are using VS 2005, then you are not using framework 4.0. Sorry,
but I do not remember the version for it, but I think it is 2.

I would recommend using the Development version of SQL Server if you
have it available and if this is for development purposes.
