need help while installing SQL Server on .net 2003.

Yet another way MS tries to take you for all you've got. 
This is something about MS that really annoys me.  You
can't install their server products on any of their
operating systems except for the ones annointed by them as
"server" operating systems.

Unless someone knows a workaround, of course.

So, and assuming I'm correct, you have the following
options

- Install a "server" OS (e.g. Windows 2003
Server (if you are rich enough)

- Install MSDE, the "Developer Edition" of SQL
Server.  Of course you only get a command line interface to
it, but you can define it as a server in VSS which gives you
some GUI access, though not anything like the stuff you get
with the real SQL Server + client tools.

- Install MySQL, MySQL Administrator, MySQL Query Browser
and MySQL Workbench, along with connetor/.net (all from http://dev.mysql.com/d
ownloads).  Once you've installed all those, you'll
probably want to add the MySql assemblies to your Visual
Studio Toolbox, if you're using Visual Studio.  From then
on you can connect to MySQL in exactly the same way as you
connect to SQL Server, except that you use the MySql
assemblies in place of the SQL Server assemblies - e.g. use
MySqlConnection instead of SqlConnection.  Easy, and
completely free of charge, unless you want to pay for
support.


I know the choice I'd make.
