Installing SQL Server 2005 Express on Windows 8 [closed]
- by Angel
We have an application that installs a custom instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express as part if the whole installation process.
Microsoft states that SQL Server 2005 Express is not compatible with Windows 8, but in reality it seems to install and work perfectly fine.
The only problem is that during the installation a dialog appears saying it's not compatible, and offers options to get help online, continue with the installation anyway, or cancel. If you chose to continue anyway on all these incompatibility prompts, then the SQL server instance is installed without any problem whatsoever.
Does anyone know if there is a way to suppress these incompatibility messages during the SQL service installation (or any installation, for that matter)?
