I've successfully installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on an Enterprise edition of Windows Server 2003 x64. I'm now (and also tried & failed during the install of the database engine) attempting to install the "Management Tools" component on the same server. However, in all my attempts to do so, I receive the following error:
The feature(s) specified are not valid for this edition of SQL Server
The message box does not list the features that are not valid but since the only item I've selected to install is the "Management Tools" option under "Client Components" it obviously points to something with that.
Am I missing something or are the Management Tools not supported in my config - most notably SQL Server 2005 Standard edition running on Windows Server 2003 x64?
Thanks.

I was finally able to install the "Management Tools" with a pretty simple solution: Install using the installer files directly off of the physical DVD. My prior attempts had all been using a copy of the files on the DVD stored locally on the server. Incidently, I had used the same copied files to successfully install the DB engine and SSIS. Go figure.
