Visual Studio 2005 doesn't support Sql Server 2008

Question

I'm developing Reporting services on VS2005 and have to connect to SQL Server 2008. The following Error occurs: "This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 or later."

I found on the net a patch for it, but it doesn't work (link to patch)

"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer Service because the program to be upgraded is missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program."

what else can I do ? :(

Just got this error message and was able to get rid of it by clicking Generic Query Designer button:
