*phew*, so its not just me then! I've got Oracle XE installed on vista, just haven't had a chance to try it yet. Pretty much expect it to work just as "well" as SQL Express. Not sure we've got MSDN, or access to the developer edition though, will have a dig.

The installation wizard could not find my sql express instance name or by local system name. I thought it would not work with SQL Express edition, so i am now trying to get a copy of SQL 2005 developer edition. I am not a great fan of Oracle, so didnt bother to install oracle DB On 04/01/2008, Barber, Dave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ** (no, not *quite* the same questions as have gone around before) I've gone through trying to setup Remedy on Vista, but have hit a slight problem. Figured that I could run it against either SQL Server Express, or possibly Oracle XE. This is only for myself, for a bit of tinkering at home, so don't need to put full blown SQL server installs. So far I've only tried installing against SQL Server Express - SQL services are definitely running, and whilst going through the AR install (7.1), it recognises the SQL Server installation, but then proceeds to say that the services are not started (haven't got a note of the exact message). I know that SQL Server Express isn't officially supported, but I would have hoped it would have worked ... any suggestions as to work arounds? Haven't tried it against Oracle XE on Vista yet, but I think I'm just as likely to try running Oracle XE on the Ubuntu VMWare session, and attempt to install 7.1 against that - before I start sweating blood over the weekend, is it likely to install?
