SurturZ's Journal: Installing SQL Server 2005 on Windows Vista

I had problems installing SQL Server 2005 on my new Lenovo T60, which comes with Vista pre-installed. At first I blamed the Purbles. So I used one of the service calls packaged with my MSDN subscription, and they worked out that the culprit was Office Web Components 2003. I don't know whether it was pre-installed with the laptop, or if it was installed as part of Office 2007, but uninstalling it first seemed to do the trick. I had to run right-click and run setup.exe as administrator too, of course. I hope this helps someone!
P.S. I still don't trust those Purbles though.
