Can the SQL Server 2005 be installed on Windows 2003 SP1?

I recently attempted to install Windows 2003 SP1 on a machine on which someone had previously installed SQL Server 2005.  The build number for the SQL Server 2005 installation is 9.0.1116.  (BTW, which CTP is this build number )

The installation of the service pack seemed to go okay, but I soon got calls from users reporting that they could not log in to the instance.  I investigated, and discovered that the SQL Server service had not started.  We were unable to start the service, and had to remove SP1.

This was the message I found in Event Viewer:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: SQLDUMPER
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5000
Date:  8/15/2005
Time:  10:30:30
User:  N/A
Computer: YKOADS3
Description:
EventType sql90exception, P1 sqlservr.exe, P2 2000.90.1116.0, P3 4258cf76, P4 msvcrt.dll, P5 7.0.3790.1830, P6 4243785e, P7 0, P8 00038944, P9 a3a034ae, P10 NIL.

My questions are:
1) What happened
2) Can I install the current CTP on Windows 2003 SP1

    Hi,

    That version corresponds to the April CTP of SQL Server.

    You could log that as a bug in Product Feedback:

    I installed the June CTP on Windows 2003 SP1 and I am up and running.  Thanks.

    Well, if my issue occurred with the April CTP I see no need to log the issue now.  I'm currently installing the June CTP, whose documentation says it works with 2003 SP1.  I'll post the build number when I'm finished, as well as let everyone know the results.

    Thanks for the reply,
    Ken

    The Build number for June CTP needs is 9.0.1187. I have it running successfully on machine with Win2003 server with SP1. I installed SQL Server 2005 after installing SP1.
