Installation Question

When I installed SQL Server 2005 from the downloaded disk, I seem to have
also installed visual studio. Firstly, is this an option that I checked at
the time (sorry but it was a while ago). The reason I ask is that the VS
2005 seems incomplete and only gives me access to AS, RS and IS packages.
However I want to use c#. So, can I still install the other components of VS
2005 or have I got the installation order incorrect?
TIA,
JB
What you have is the stripped down version of Visual Studio called the
Business Intelligence Management Studio. If you install Visual Studio 2005,
it will give you a complete install with all components active, including
the BI ones already installed. You have not messed anything up. The two
programs (SQL 2005 and VS 2005) were designed to complement each other.

Installation of SQL Server 2005 on the partition disk drive

Trying to install SQL Server 2005 beta version on partition disk drive say
F:\ (Other than local disk drive c:\),

Does anyone know how can I do this? During the installation, it never asks
me on which drive it install to nor browse button is there to browse the
disk drive for installation...

Any help?

Thanks

As I recall, you need to go to the Advanced section to do this.

But part of the installations will always be in your ProgramFilesDir,
that is normally C:\Program Files.

Also, you should post your SQL 2005 to the SQL 2005 newsgroups, as these
are monitored by the SQL Server folks. See here for access:
