Hi Guys,

I am having trouble trying to install MSDE 2 onto acouple of machines.
When I hit setup on Sql Server2 sp2 disk for MSDE I get the following
error:

This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package
exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to
verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.

I already have MSDE 1.0 on the machines without a problem now trying to
upgrade it to MSDE 2 since my Access Project
was developed for MSDE 2 on my machine.

It says if I get this error that I need to order the Sql Server Sevice Pack
from MS. I did this and tryed install to the machines with the same
results.



How can I install MSDE 2 Manually if I have the Files? My project uses
Access project and MSDE 2 as the backend

database. Please Help.



Thanks,

A couple of questions...

What version of Windows are you using?

Are you an administrator on the machine you are trying to install this?

Peace

Rick
