i have a clean install of windows 7 64bit on my laptop. all programs installed cleanly and i aslo installed visual studio 2005 with no problems (aside from the compatability warning) and it runs fine. When i try to install sql server 2005, the database engine wont install (or i dont see it any where). the install runs and completes with no error but afterward enterprise manager is not in my list of programs. all i see in the program group in the strat menu is the folder for the configuration tools. nothing else. yes i did select to install the sql server database services when i ran the install. the install goes through ok and i have done this before on non windows 7 machines and had no problems. any ideas??? thanks.
The only possible clue is that the setup check found that i needed to enable iis. i did this but the setup wont recognize it.
