I have MSDN. I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 Standard SP2 on a Vista
Business box. The system meets the system requirements. The system used to
have SQL 2000, but that was uninstalled when the box was upgraded to Vista
Business.

I had installed SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 successfully. However, since
that product did NOT include a profiler, I unistalled it.

I get an error "No Qualifying Products", "This machine does not have a
product that matches this installation package."
I tried SQLServer2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe

What is missing? According to the web site any version of Vista should be
ok, not just Enterprise.
Do I really need Standard? I own an NFR license,. How else can i get the
Profiler running? This is strictly for development and testing, not
production use.

I am confused by new packaging....

Jim,

Had you installed the gold build first? It is not clear from your message.
You install the gold then the latest SP.

I tried installing SP1
SQLServer2005SP1-KB913090-x86-ENU.exe
from a CD dated 4/14/2006 first, and got the same error.

Is it a chicken and egg problem? i.e., can't install SP2 unless you have
an earlier release and you can't install an earlier release because you have
Vista?

No, the issue is you don't have a product that it's legal to install
profiler on. SQL Express doesn't include profiler. This has nothing to do
with Vista or SP2

I own an NFR (Developer) license to SQL Server 2005 Standard. That's
why I was trying to Install Standard.

Sorry, I misunderstood. It looks like you're trying to install SP2 without
first installing SQL Standard.

I was able to install from another CD. The first CD I tried was
poorly labeled. I thought it was SQL w/ SP1, but it was only SP1.
A more descriptive error message, would have saved me some time.
Oh well, thanks for the .
