SQL 2K & Win Server 2003
-
Can anyone help us with this? We're trying to install SQL Server 2000 on a Windows 2003 Server. MSDN says we should be able to complete the install and then update to SP3. When we launch the installer and tell it that we know it's not supported but go ahead anyway, the installer goes away and never comes back. The process remains alive with no activity, but doesn't install or give any additional messages. We can't get an installer CD with SP3 already applied, of course, so we're unable to get the SQL Server installed. Has anyone seen this? Solved it? Have some consoling words of wisdom? Thanks - any help is really appreciated!

Hi, i use to face this problem before. try to check the solution in microsoft knowledge base www.microsoft.com/support. as far as i remember the article in knowledge base state that you need to install windows xp first and install sql server with its service pack. test it if it working properly then upgrade your windows xp to windows server 2003. then everything is working fine. try it and hope it work. ;P Roath Kanel APO-CEDC Save Children Norway-Cambodia Office

Thanks - we checked the MS KB's but it says we should be able to do the install on a fresh Win2003 server. We can't deinstall the server and install XP to try this - the server's already up and running. We're faced with how to get SQL Server 2000 on a running Win 2003 Server.....
