SQL Server on WinXP

Is there any way to make SQL Server Enterprise or standard work on Windows XP? Is it absolutely necessary to get the Developer edition, or is it a way around that?

please help...

I think XP Pro is an upgrade to Win2K Pro and XP Home is an upgrade to Win98 (sort of)... anyway, SQL Server will not work on either of those... only Win Server.

I was running SQL Server Enterprise edition on Windows XP Pro last fall for school. You can use IIS to access it for web development--which comes with XP Pro--but I found that Apache worked better.

You cannot run the full enterprise version of SQLServer on any desktop (i.e., home or pro) version of the OS. The installation program won't let you. The only limitations to the desktop version is that it holds you to 5 concurrent users and does not do logging. Both are very big issues if you are running a production server, but not a big deal for development or demo. I expect the version you had on your other machine was the desktop version.
