INSTALLING SQL SERVER 2005 WITH VISTA BUSINESS

I have been trying to install SQL Server 2005 (Developer Edition) on a computer with Vista Business. I can't seem to be able to install SQL Server 2005 SP2 and when I attempt to login, I get the message.

Cannot connect to Server.

the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attemp failed because the connected party dd not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connect host has failed to respond) Microsoftw SQL Server Errore 10060

Is the service running ?

Yes, I finally got SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition working on Vista Business. I could not find the resolution to this issue anywhere. After losing 5 days of work I decided to break down and pay the $245 charge for a Microsoft Support call. I was put on hold for over an hour to try to speak to someone in India. For $245 I would like to talk with an American. I finally decided to hang up before the support person picked up. I was sooooooooooooo frustrated.

The way I see it the default installation on the Developer Edition would never work. Unlike previous versions of SQL Server that were very easy to install. This was a mess. I am very disappointed in SQL Server 20005 Developer Edition to date.

I would be happy to share my resolution with another user and with Microsoft for $245.00.

So the issue finally got resolved ?
