To get it to work in IE you can either switch the virtual directory from
Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Tools\Microsoft SQL Web Data
Administrator\Web
to
Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Tools\Microsoft SQL Web Data
Administrator\Samples\SqlWebAdmin
which is a (slower) full source version, or remove line 12 (<webControls...)
in the file Web\Web.config
