| "None of the selected features can be installed or upgraded.Setup cannot proceed because no effective change is being made to the machine..."this shows when trying to install SQL Server 'Management Tools', under Client Components, in the Tools install section,although i manually select 'Entire feature will be installed' (initially, all features are ticked off with a red X).this error message shows up regardless of which feature i choose to install. it wouldn't even install books online.any suggestions? |

| What platform are you trying to install on?Also, did you install Visual Studio first? If so, did you get any updates?There is not enough information in your post for us to help you. |

| Visual Studio 2005 was installed prior to installation.give me a second chance to explain myself :After enabling ALL protocols in the configuration manager, I am still having trouble connecting to my local SQLEXPRESS service , which was installed automatically with visual studio, using visual studio's server explorer.The error i encounter while trying to connect, first says something about remote connections being disabled under default settings, and then it shows a 'Named Pipes Provider' error, which number is 40, saying that the connection could not be made.What I decided to do is to set up management studio in order to manipulate my SQLEXPRESS service, and attempt to troubleshoot this error from there.my computer is an Intel-based PC running Windows XP Pro SP2.does it make any more sense now? |

| Have you checked under Surface Area Configuration that remote connections and named pipes are enabled?Have you checked Configuration Manager that all the services are started and that Named Pipes are enabled and the path is set correctly (should be \\.\pipe\sql\query)? |
