My life become easy when I install Developer Edition!! obviously Enterprise Edition can't work with Windows 7.

Can't install SQL Server 2005 on Win10 x64

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 on my Win10 x64.
The problem is I can't even select the Database Services and Reporting services I need cause checkbox is disabled.
I had a bit research on this issue but everyone else seems to have problems after the installation began, whereas, I can't even start the progress.
I tried Run program made for previous versions of windows and extract then install sqlncli.msi from SP4 according to this.
Neither of them enable the checkboxes and I'm running out of ideas.
Should I install sp4 without install SQL Server first? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
I had the Visual Studio subscriptions and turns out you can still download the original version of SQL Server 2005 by downloads search(autocomplete won't show it but the search result will).
And the checkboxes are enabled in this version.
If you face problem during the installation, this works for me.

Run SSMS 2012 as administrator Application can not start error

When i tried to run SSMS 2012 as administrator it gives the error "application can not start". I am using windows 8 64 bit and sql server 2012.
Actually yesterday i tried to install ssms 2005 side by side installation but i stopped the installation in the middle as it needed a feature to complete installation so i stopped it. Now i want to access SSMS 2012 as administrator as i have to access integration server which prompt me to access it as administrator which lead me to run SSMS 2012 as administrator.
Any help to resolve this problem will be appreciated.
This is usually due to corrupt registries or some bad uninstall that removed files it shouldn't have. It's existed for years over multiple versions of VS and its shell. SSMS is dependent on the VS framework so it's among the potential victims, also spanning multiple versions.
This blog discusses some of the details of the problem and the comments section has some great feedback and possible solutions. The link should bring you directly to Oyvind Gellein's post whose solution worked for many. You can browse the rest of the page if you want to learn more.

Finally it is resolved by uninstalling all the SQl server components and VS frameworks. Then again reinstalled the sql server with SSMS.

Sql Server 2005 Not Compatible with Windows 10

I had SQL Server 2005 working when I upgraded to Windows 10. Now it won't work. I read that it is not compatible with Windows 8, according to Microsoft. Windows 10 is but the matured version of Windows 8, to me. Is there any way I can get SQL Server 2005 to work with Windows 10?
Have you tried to apply / re-apply SP4? I'm not saying it will work but it works in Windows 8. Not sure what you upgraded from.

uninstall inFlow before upgrading to Windows 10 and then re-install (because of compatibility issues with SQL Server 2005). This is pretty easy and can be done from the START menu by searching “Programs and Features” and once open, choosing to uninstall inFlow Inventory.
Not sure which version of SQL you’re using? You can check the version of SQL Server through the START menu by searching “Programs and Features.” In that window, look for “Microsoft SQL Server” and check the version (it will either be 2005 or 2008 R2). If you’re in 2008 R2 or 2012 you’re golden, no extra steps required).
So bottom line: if you’re planning to take advantage of the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 that’s great, but take a few minutes to double check your SQL Server version (as noted above) before you upgrade. Most of us won’t be affected but if you don’t, the upgrade could break inFlow and that’s no fun at all!

Sharepoint 2010 installation preliminaries

First of all sorry if this is a repost or is found to be duplicate.
I'm about to install sharepoint 2010 in my laptop for development. I'm using a laptop with win 7 64-bit with 8GB RAM, with vs 2010 installed.
I'm having SP2010 with SP1 standard license.
Have went to lot of pre-requisite advisory pages but haven't got a satisfactory/complete answer and hence decided to pen down my doubts here.
Below are my queries
Can i start by auto-running the CD (sorry if it sounds a lot stupid. kindly take note that i'm at beginning stage of SP2010 with VS programming background).
Can i connect to sql server 2005 (32-bit) from sp2010 after installation for programming. Is it possible technically.
Should i need to install sql 2005/2008 (64-bit) before installing SP2010 or can i install it after completing installation of SP2010.
PLEASE provide pointers if any so that i can have a hiccup free, successful installation of sp2010.
Edit:
Have downloaded a bunch of files from the below url
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27417
Can anyone advise which virtual machine i should use to run the vhd image for sp2010
Thanks :)
Installing on Windows 7 is not recommended and tends to run into some incompatibilities. Can you use a virtual machine? Here is a link which is useful for Win 7 installation.
Answering your questions:
You can install from the DVD or a mounted Image.
You can use SQL 2005 but only 64Bit.
You should install SQL server before installing SharePoint so it will be more automated

Error while installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on Windows 7

I was trying to install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on my Windows 7 pc. When I tried to install it, it tells me that I have a newer version installed on my pc. So, I checked that Microsoft Sharepoint 2010 installed some sql server 2008 tools for me.
I decided to uninstall SharePoint 2010(which I wasn't using) and then tried to install MS SQL Server 2005 again. This threw me the following exception:
Error 1603 installing microsoft sql server setup support files
Searching on Google I found this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916760 but it's not my case actually.
Any help will be appreciated. I really need this to continue working.
I hope this might be useful

Turn on all the Windows Features for IIS - this fixed the problem for me.
This is done via Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off.
