Go into services and verify that the Windows Management
Instrumentation Service is started. Also, VS2005 usually installs SQL
Server 2005 Express. If it is installed before SQL 2005 Standard,
there could be some problems.
Enter wmimgmt.msc into the run (search box in Vista) box and it should
bringup the WMI console. If it does not or you receive an error, WMI
is broke. Although there are steps to repair it out there (use
Google-fu), I would probably do an in place upgrade (reinstall).
But I do know for a fact that they work perfectly on Vista (SQL Server
2005 needs all of it's service packs, though) when they are loaded.
If the WMI service is fine, uninstall VS2005, SQL server 2005 Express
and reinstall, installing SQL 2005 Standard first.
