Thank you Harold for this good hint, but, you know, SQl Server 2005 Sp2 is
supposed to be installed on windows vista that has Sql Server 2005 installed
on it ! but i don't have Sql Server installed on my vista computer, 'coz i
have mentioned earlier that i can install Sql Server 2005 on my windows
vista, but just before the installation begins the wizard shows a warning
message that iis is not installed or is turned off -> so that many features
in sql server 2005 won't be available !
now, what should i do: install sql server 2005 regardless to that warning
message which leads to the unavailability of many features in sql server that
depend on the presence of iis, then, after that installing Sql Server 2005
sp2 (when it's released) !
or is there another solution ?
thank you for your efforts !
