SQL MSDE installation problem

6 New Member
Hi
I'm trying to install MSDE 2000 on my WIN XP machine using the setup.exe, but it always gives me error saying "set strong sa password" after the message " Please Wait while windows configures Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine"

I also tried installing it by command line command below, it shows that its configuring and installing software, but disappears in the middle. I see the SqlServer agent installed and also folders inside C:\Program Files\Microsoft Sql Server folder, but SQL is still not listed in the installed programs

msiexec /i sql2000.msi /log exception.log instancename="imalla
" securitymode=sql sapwd="sapassword"

Your help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Strong password means alphanumeric it should contain characters and numbers.

Good Luck.

Hi.. all,

I found myself in this situation..,

I got the installation successed, But Can't get the SQL server running..!
It something wrong with the Server Path that I can't connected to.

Is this because I have to run Web Server/IIS that needing to run together with SQL server..???

Any answer will be helpful...! THanks..
