SQL Server 2005 Beta 2, April CTP Ships
So, the long awaited April CTP for SQL Server 2005 went up on MSDN downloads today.
VS.NET 2005 Beta 2 went up on Friday.
The SQL Server install requires Windows Installer v3.0 (Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 SP1 have it already, other platforms do not). It is documented in the ReadMe file, and where to get it too.
Download is in progress...hope to have it by the morning.
