Q: 

Can SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition install to Windows 7 Professional Edition?

I want to install SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition to Windows 7 Professional Edition. I tried many times, but it also failed. Is it possible to do that?

Anyone has successful to install on this case?

Best regards, On

+4  A: 

SQL Server Enterprise Edition does not support Windows client operating systems. You can only install it on Windows Server.

Try installing Developer Edition. It provides similar features with licensing restrictions (you can't install it on production servers).

A: 

I have installed on Windows 7 Ultimate right now. It may not be officially supported unless you're using Windows Server, but it does work.

Developer edition? Or Enterprise? Both use the same engine...
