I am planning a fresh install of my development system. I have experimented a
bit with the setup on Virtual PC and have noticed a few things that I want to
understand before installing on my development box.
1) VS 2005 installs SQL Server express edition
2) SQL Server 2005 installs the VS 2005 IDE
I don't want SQL express, I want the developer edition. I also want VS 2003
on my system. So I think I will approach my steps as follows:
1) install SQL 2005 developer edition
2) install VS 2003 (connecting to SQL 2005)
3) install VS 2005 (choosing not to install SQL express)
Here are my questions:
1) Does this order seem appropriate and are there any problems that anyone
can forsee?
2) what is the difference between the VS 2005 IDE installed with SQL 2005
developer edition and the normal VS 2005 Professional edition IDE that I will
install? I presume that features will just be added when Install VS 2005
Professional - Is that right?
Any feedback is much appreciated :-)
