stupid installs |

o.k. so i dont know why it is that microsoft screams for anti virus software to be installed, but yet they design installers as if nobody has them.
case in point. i'm installing sql server 2005 yukon. i have norton corporate running. i keep getting config issues as well as a Workbench QFE installation problem. The installation fails. no problem. i kill norton, uninstall sql server setup tools, reboot and try again. the install works flawlessly. now its really odd, because at home on my IIS box, i have norton corporate running as well. virtually the same setup. It installed at home without issue. but on the laptop, it freaks out over the norton protection. seems retarded to me. maybe i'm just missing something somewhere.
but i have it up and running on the laptop and its so sweet.
i cant wait to run across some documentation to really dive into it.
I still have about 500 pages to go on my Actuate training guide, before I'll really get into sql2k5. That and i'm working on the C# certificatio

Installing SQL Server 2005 "Yukon" |

So now I'm installing Sql Server 2005 Beta 2 on the laptop. I installed it at home last nite on the webserver and it seemed to run pretty smooth. its an interesting change from the typical Enterprise Manager and QA. They've combined both of those applications into a single "workdesk" area. I like the heirarchal layout of the DBs. The only gripe i have is that it seems like its going to take alot of screen space to really use the program seamlessly. but thats a small issue.
I'll be working with this app for a few weeks to get a feel for whats coming.

microsoft announced that they plan to deliver the next OS in 2006. However it will be without the much anticipated WinFS filing system. Well poo.
It was actually a good selling point. But i guess that it was going to delay the release so they nixed it.

I've finished researching the benefits of SQLServer2k5 Express and I have to say that I'm very impressed. This new platform will replace the MSDE installs that I've used previously.
