I'm trying to install SQL Server on a Vista HP machine, but it will not detect IIS, which in turn prevents Reporting Services from being installed. I have seen blogs which indicate that the UAC system in HP does not properly detect IIS and that as a result NOTHING can be done. If that is true, I guess I should have stayed with XP Pro (which I'm pretty sure of anyway).
Does anyone know if there is a way to get SQL Server properly
You need to make sure that you have the the optional "IIS 6 Management Compatibility" option installed within IIS7

i am not sure if SQL can even be installed on home SKUs either?
I have that enabled. I have stopped and restarted IIS. I have read elsewhere that Vista UAC is the problem.
