That's what I don't understand ... the MS SQL Server 2005 install went fine,
and the MS SQL Server 2005 SP1 install went fine. And the software seems to
be working OK too.

The only trouble is the Add / Remove Programs on MS SQL Server when trying
to change Workstation Components gets the "Pending Reboot" error.

The other software on the PC is Microsoft stuff ... Visual Studios, XP
Professional, MDAC, etc.

Thanks
