Microsoft SQL Server & Visual Studio 2005 Setup Stupidity

Another most stupidest thing in this world found in softwares is that when you install MS software in the wrong order will cause everything to sort of malfunction.

If you installed MS SQL Server 2005 *AFTER* MS Visual Studio 2005, you will encounter the following problem:

1. Unable to install if you choose to install SQL Reporting service. Apparently Visual Studio already installs that automatically... solution is to *NOT* to choose to install it during SQL Server 2005 setup.

2. You are not able to install custom toolbox in Visual Studio 2005...  you get a Tools.InstallCommunityControls command failure. Solution is to copy Microsoft.VisualStudio.ToolBoxControlInstallerUI.dll file from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\1033\ to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ and run devenv /setup command.

This is just one of the most stupidest thing in this world.... made by the giant software maker.
