  Hi,

  I have a problem with SQLServer 2000 installation on W2003.

  It was initially installed on W2003 with SQL server 2000sp4.

  The management console was unreachable, and sql server seemed to be very unstable.

  Recent database dumps were available, so I tried to reinstall it (non prod server).

  Now the installation fail each time, when trying to open/edit a msc during installation processus (sql iis admin.msc).

  When I try to open the mentioned console (taking it directly from the media), an "snap-in creation failed" is rised

  ----------

  Snap-in failed to initialize.
