Tips for installing SQL Server 2008 on Windows 7
Saturday, November 28, 2009 at 8:51PM While SQL Server 2008 is compatible with Windows 7 there are a few things to know to help easy some of the installation quirks.
The general gist is that there will be a few warnings that can be bypassed so long as you install SP1 or latest as soon as your are done with the initial installation. Additionally, there is on error message that may pop up that will go away if you restart your OS.
Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle
has been created.
This did happen tome and a reboot did cure the problem. Two articles that I found that were very helpful are linked below:
