Vs 2005, Sql 2008, Kb954961 Won't Install - Win7 X64 Issue?

I recently installed Win 7 x64 on my machine. I have Visual Studio 2005 Standard, and need to install the update for SQL 2008 support, so I can connect to the remote SQL Server wit

Solution 1:

The update you are trying to install requires Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Professional Edition or Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Team System Edition. Standard edition cannot apply the update...

Please see the system requirements section on the Microsoft support page.

Sorry it's not working for you...sounds like a lot of frustration.
