| I just installed Microsoft server 2005 enterprise edition but when it installed it didn't ask me to install any instances and I've seen no way of creating instances.How do I create an instance with the enterprise edition?Btw, I am on win 7 ultimate x64 if that helps anyone.thanks in advance. |

| If you're talking about named instances, there is a screen during the installation process where you specify a default instance or named instance. If you didn't enter a specific name, then you installed a default instance.To "create" an instance, you run setup.exe again and install a new SQL Server instance. |

I was never given the create an instance screen..... give me a moment I will run the setup again.Okay I guess I was running the install components documentation etc, but during that setup screen it says that it successfully installs the native client.However when I go to runt he native client setup directly I get an error saying my processor type is not supported.When I RUN SETup.exe directly it goes through the setup wizard as the normal express version does, only it doesnt ask to to setup a default or named instance or ask for any authentication information.Also I get this warning during install but I dont think it has anything to do with the fact that its not asking me to install an instance.- ASP.Net Version Registration Requirement (Warning)MessagesASP.Net Version Registration Requirement 64-bit ASP.Net is Registered. Required 32-bit ASP.Net to install Microsoft Reporting Services 2005(32-bit). quote:
I also get this screen when I attempt to install it.http://img576.imageshack.us/i/77704765.png/ |

| Sorry, I should have read the original more closely. I don't believe you can install Enterprise Edition on Windows 7, you'd have to choose a different edition like Standard, Developer, or Workgroup. Or you can install it on a Windows 2003 or 2008 machine.Check here for more information on system requirements http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506%28SQL.90%29.aspx |
