Hi2u, Which components do I have to keep in the image to get SQL Server Express 2005 working? In my present image Im not able to install it because I dont have some dll's like: XOLEHLP.dll MSDTCPRX.dll MTXCLU.dll And I get the error message: "Failed to load SqlSpars.dll" even when the dll is in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap". Who can help me? =) Thanks, Treveo.
