hi,
I have ms sql server 2000 (enterprise edition). I tried to install two components of service pack 3a, the database component and the anlysis services component. The two corresponding file I need to download and install are Sql2ksp3.exe and Sql2kasp3.exe, respectively. I had no problem installing the database component, but when I try to install the anlysis services component, I get an error saying something like that ' data transfer error -145' (the wording might be slightly different). The operating system on which the sql server is running is windows server 2000. I did some research as to why what might fail the installation process, and I read that I need to stop the IIS 5.0 server embeded in the windows 2000 server platform. I went to administrative tools-> computer management->Services and Applications ->Internet Information Services, and I stopped the default server. It did not help me when I tried to install the the analysis services component for the seconf time -- i got the same error.
Does anyone have any clue what is the problem?
P.S. please CC me at avisemah@optonline.net
Thank you in advance
