Beta Information

No formal product support is available from Microsoft for this beta product. For information about how to obtain support for a beta release, see the documentation that is included with the beta product files, or check the Web location where you downloaded the release.

Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 on a computer that is running a beta version of Windows Server 2008. You install the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Technologies. In this scenario, the installation fails.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because of an incompatibility between the setup configurations of the SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Technologies and the beta version of Windows Server 2008.
