Did you get error message? The log file c:\Windows\sqlstp.log may help. -- Richard Mueller Microsoft MVP Scripting and ADSI Hilltop Lab - http://www.rlmueller.net --

Guest Richard Mueller [MVP] Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Re: Will SQL MSDE 2000 not work on W2K3 Enterprise Ed.? There either should be an sqlstp.log file in c:\windows or c:\winnt, or the setup command specified a different log file. I would look for a log file on the computer dated when you attempted the install. Otherwise, either the person running the install lacked permissions or the setup never even started. The only reference I know of is SQL Server Books Online. All troubleshooting I've seen regarding install problems refers to the log. -- Richard Mueller Microsoft MVP Scripting and ADSI Hilltop Lab - http://www.rlmueller.net -- "Mark" <Mark@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1B4EB4D2-4009-4F6C-86E6-1F3062184F69@microsoft.com... > There is no "c:\Windows\sqlstp.log" file..... > > > > "Richard Mueller [MVP]" wrote: > >> Mark worte: >> >> > Will SQL MSDE 2000 not work on W2K3 Enterprise Ed.?

Guest Mark Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Re: Will SQL MSDE 2000 not work on W2K3 Enterprise Ed.? Turns out it was wanting the sa password to be set from the command-line during the setup process. The syntax is: setup SAPWD="whatever_you_want_your_sa_password_to_be" Thanks!
