| Hello:I've installed MSDE2000A on a computer with Windows XP Professional 2002 Spanish version. When I run the setup.exe from the command window it begins the installation up to a point where it stops, but shows no error. Also I have:Windows XP Hotfix - KB823980Windows XP SP1 (Q312370) Windows XP SP1 (Q321856)I´ve had no trouble creating instances on another computer that runs Windows 2000, but with XP I cannot make it.If anyone knows what could be the solution to this, I'll be very glad. |

I had the same problem on XP - I found I had to use the setup.exe from the command line, and supply a command line parameter as follows:setup INSTANCENAME="foo" Occasionally - and I could not resolve why, but this then needed to be followed up by re-running setup.exe without the switch (yes on the same machine - makes no sense to me either).--I hope that when I die someone will say of me "That guy sure owed me a lot of money" |
