Installation Order: SQL and Visual Studio

May 12, 2008 1 Comment

When building a new dev environment, there's an issue when you try to install Visual Studio followed by SQL Server because Visual Studio will install SQL Express if SQL server is not there. It causes some problems, so: 

The preferred order of installation is:

  • SQL Server 2005
  • VS 2005

  1. You know, the thing about SQL is, that there is virtually nothing that can replace it.

    Does anyone know if a substitute exists for sql? I mean besides MS SQL and Oracle and all that jazz. Thanks.
