>>I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 on my laptop. When it reaches the form "Components to install", all options are disabled but the last one. So, I cannot install anything. I also tried with setup.exe SKUUPGRADE=1 but that didn't change anything. I have SQL Server 2005 Enterprise DVD and I am trying to install from it. What am I missing?

PMFJI. How does SQL Server installer determine if this is a workstation or a server? By OS?
