i want to do the book's try it out.. but Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition not supporting window 7..

because on www.microsoft.com website when i open download page for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition there was written like this:

System requirements
Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, Windows XP Service Pack 2

means it will not work on window 7. then what should i do?
because Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 3 and 4 supports the window 7 but den i install this i cant perform try it out...so what do dnt understand

A service pack is just an update, so you can easily install SP 4 or whatever latest version is available or required.

You could also install SQL Server 2008 Express instead, as that would work with the book as well.

Cheers,

Imar
