Hi,
I've just downloaded the Database Components setup file from the MS web site (sql2ksp3.exe). It unpacked OK into an install directory, but when I run setup.bat, it complains that 'x86\setup\setupsql.exe' doesn't exist - and its right - it doesn't!
Is this directory supposed to be part of the exe I downloaded or am I supposed to get that from elsewhere?
TIA

You shouldn't have any problems downlading the SP from internet. Try downloading it again, maybe it downloads with errors.

Yeah, OK, but I've only got a 28.8K intermittent dial-up line. It took me 2 days to get this 🙁

I'm stumped by this one.
I've downloaded it again and also got the Desktop exe as well (another 68 M :-(), but still no x86 directory.
I'm convinced the downloads have worked because the resultant file size after d/l is exactly the same as the MS site says it should be and also because the exes unpack with no errors.
Has anyone else actually used the d/ls from the web site or does everyone go with the cd?

I have downloaded SP3 several times from Internet and it has always worked. But the problem you mention HAS happend to a colleuge of mine when he was doing the downloading. He managed to resolve it somehow but unfortunatly I cannot say how.
Just my 2 cents.

P.S Maybe check for disk space free when unpacking/installing? Could be a killer...
