    Hi,

    I am unable to install MSDE 2000 Rel A.

    After I typed in command prompt "setup SAPWD=password SECURITYMODE=SQL"

    installs starts and stops immediately when i run the setup again saying another instance of setup is running.

    I could find in the task manager but from front end no installation is performing with any instance name.

    Even I tried with named instance like "setup SAPWD=password INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSER SECURITYMODE=SQL"

    Still getting the same problem, i could find in the log file "intallation operation failed."

    Thanks in advance..

    It's very urgent...

    Regards,

    ram

    be sure to enable the server protocols. by default the protocols are disabled. You can put the setting in the setup.ini file. If you already installed it, you can run the server network Utility to turn them on.

    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\svrnetcn.exe"

    if you don't do this you wont be able to connect remotely.

    cheers!

    enterprise only installs on Win 2000 server and Server 2003.

    need to install the msde, developer or personal.

    Go ahead and install the client tools then install this
