Should work. I've installed on W2k3 Standard and several clients have

installed on W2k3, although I don't know which edition. Did you get error

message? The log file c:\Windows\sqlstp.log may help.

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.

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!
