I was able to install it on Vista RC1 without any problem and it even does
not give that compatability warning box. But when i tried to install it on
Vista RTM i get that warning box and it would not install.

I find it strange that i cannot install SQL 2005 on Vista RTM. I have been
posting this question on various forums, but no one seems to have any idea.
Even the SQL Server site does not include Vista as the supported OS on its
requirement page.

If i cant install it on Vista RTM, where else am i supposed to install it?
