Eror installing Sql Server on XP

  • I'm trying to install Sql Server 2000 (Personal or Developer Edition) on XP SP2 pc, but when Setup is running last step  "Configuring Server.." an error appears,

    It creates a log File telling me about that an Instalation Program Can't Configure Server.

    Another error is 'ODBC CONTROLER' DATA SOURCE NAME NO EXISTS AND THERE IS NO COTROLLER ESPECIFIED'

    Warning: override, autoexec procedure skipped.

    SQL Server is terminating due to 'stop' request from Service Control Manager.

    Any Idea to fix it?

  • Been a while but I believe you have to have File and Print Sharing on before the install will work. Can't remember if this was the message thou.

  • Just for grins...go to Microsoft's website and download the latest MDAC version. See if that solves the problem.

  • The usual with XP is to check you have all the permissions you need - you are running the install with local Admin rights...?

    I'd be surprised if it's MDAC (though that's given plenty of grief in the past) - MS have got it pretty well integrated with the OS patches now.
