Can I intall Analysis Services on Vista?

  • Hi there,

    I have SQL Server 2008 Developer edition. Is it possible to install this on Vista ultimate. Also, if I can, will I be able to make Analysis Services available?

    Thanks

  • According to MSDN, you should be able to install it on Vista:

  • I have a copy of SQL 2008 Dev Edition installed on Vista Ultimate at home. Includes SSRS, SSAS, and all the rest.

    You just have to patch it up to SP 1 before you try to start the services.

    Used to have the same with SQL 2005. Again, had to patch before it would run, but it did run.

    Currently have 2008 installed on Windows 7 Enterprise as well. All services work after patching.
