Of course you can - the only version you can't install on a client

I just tried to install ms sql 2005 developer edition on my home
computer which has win XP professional, but it says I can only install
the client version to connect the database server. It does not allow
me to install whole database server.

Then I would guess you need to look twice on the CD/DVD. It sounds as
