Hi, thanks for this help. it save me a lot. I was facing one more issue to run command on vista 64 bit, after running this command:
cscript %SystemDrive%\inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1

command prompt shown me error:
Permission denied
ErrNumber: 70 (0×46)
Error Trying To Get the Object: w3svc/AppPools

STEP 1:
If anyone one facing this issue then don’t worry just open control panel -> user accounts -> Turn user account control on or off and just off (disable by removing tick on “UAC to help protect your computer” and then OK.
STEP 2:
Run again on command prompt: cscript %SystemDrive%\inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1
STEP 3:
Reboot
Finally:
Start installation of MS SQL SERVER and Enjoy.

Cheers – had troubles trying to install the management engine, and thought that VS2005 had installed the 32bit version. After reinstalling several times, I found that you have to install the management engine from an elevated command prompt. Microsoft don’t seem to have mentioned the fact that the engine is only 32bit. Have to wonder why they’ve even made an x64 install. I wish they would fix something for x64 to check the prog files (x86), as restoreing databases that were on a 32bit machine try to restore to the wrong place.

[...] Finally, when you try to install SQL Express on Vista 64-bit, you may get some errors that some required features aren’t available (specifically IIS and an ASP.NET version). Here’s information on how to get these activated: http://www.tryexcept.com/articles/2007/07/18/installing-sql-server-2005-express-in-windows-vista.htm... [...]

One more question, please: Should I install framework 2 for x64 and the SP1?

By: FEOL

FEOL — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 08:06:09 +0000

No, MG, it doesn’t work. I still have the “SQL Server Edition Operating System…” and the “IIS Feature Requirement” errors. Once, one of my Unix instructor said “The more I know Microsoft the more I love Unix” I guess he was right. Maybe I have to downgrade to XP. Any way, thanks a lot for your help.

For some reason my Vista Home Premium x64 does not have adsutil.vbs on it. Any ideas on how to get this script or a work around?

Hi FEOL. The correct path for the script is:
%SystemDrive%\inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs (i have fixed the article already).

About you the missing services in the Configuration Manager: Run the adsutil.vbs first, as stated in the article, then install (or reinstall) SQL 2005 Express – in your case, the SQL Server service is probably not installed.

Hi. This is my problem: I’ve installed SQL 2005 Express in Vista Home Premium x64, also installed SP2, but I have no instances of a server. When I look into the Configuration Manager – SQL 2005 Services I get “There is no items to show in this view”. What did I miss? What can I do?
I’ve run the command and I get “Input Error: Can not find script file “C:\Users\Fernando\inetpubAdminScriptsadsu
til.vbs”.
I’ve also install all IIS items.

Thanks in advance.
Regards from México.
