Question XP & SQL Server 7.0
Is it possible to run SQL Server 7.0 on Windows XP Professional?

It won't work for me.

As long as you use the desktop version, yes. The full server version of SQL 7 requires a server OS, not a workstation OS like XP. You probably need XP Pro not XP Home.

I use the desktop version of SQL 7 (found on the retail SQL 7 CD) on my XP Pro box without any problems.

hmm...
I have windows xp pro and I am trying to install the destop version of sql server 7.0, but to no avail.
I don't get the option of:
Typical
Custom

The option I get when installing is:
Local
Remote

Did you install a service pack 1 from microsoft's website before installing sql server 7.0?

I've had SQL 7 on this box for a long time, I think before XP SP1. It's been long enough that I don't recall the installation details, sorry. It seems to me I just put my SQL Server CD in and followed the instructions though.
