SQL2000 Developer and XP Home

  • Are SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition and XP Home Edition not compatible?  My install went fine but when I try to register a server in Enterprise Manager I get the error that the server cannot be found.

  • Maybe SQL Server isn't runing yet.  Check the SQL Server Service Manager that can be found in the task pad.  Also, try registering with (local) instead of the computer name.  I haven't tried installing on Windows XP Home Edition, but you would have received an error saying that you could only install client tools if it is not compatible.
