what OS are you installing this on?

what does the log file in the error message say?

There is no image located at the URL you posted, perhaps you post the install log and the image again.

OK, that information is not very sufficient^. Could you upload the sqlstp.log file somewhere, taht we can have a look in ?

you cant install sql server 2000 on xp pro.

get the MSDE or get the SQL 2005 Epresss.

If you must develop for compatability with SQL 2000 server, get the msde.

|||ya mind giving me a link? yeah i need to use a sql server 2000|||http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&q=msde|||

Hi there,

sure, just save in the title bar of the screenshot that you tried to install the Enterprise Eval Edition on your computer. If you want to use the SQL 2000 on client computer you have to use the MSDE (like the below poster told) or you get the developer edition which exposes the same features like the enterprise edition. You can use this edition for developing your application. Remember taht the developer edition can′be used in a productional enviroment, because you would break the licence agreement.

HTH, Jens Suessmeyer.

Yeah, the developer edition can be used to develop applications and it gives you the Enterprise Manger as well as other utilities.

MSDE can be redistributed, but it has no management interface.

the developer edition can be purchased here for US$50

|||kk thks... i cant afford to buy.. haha.. but its okie.. ill try install spl 2005
