SharePoint Portal Server 2003

[valter]

I'm trying to install SPS 2003 on the box that acts as DC in AD ... I've tried both possibilities with MSDE and with MS SQL ... no matter what I do, when it comes to SPS installation this error appears ...

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way

the only option is OK after what SPS is uninstalled ....

any idea?

klasika,

Main problem is that MSDE doesn't install on a domain controller. I tried using SQL and it bombed aswell.

You have to use the MSDE database engine that comes with SPS for it to work.So you have to install it on member server

There are some notes of this on this site,

Thanks m8,

I know that part however, I have a customer that doesn't really need additional server, actually, he already has more than he needs, a monster server that serves as DC ... now buying another server just to server SharePoint portal wouldn't make much sense ... I though that there might be some hack of doing this, because I can install MS SQL server and make SharePoint Services work with MSSQL, but when it comes to SharePoint portal it just wount work ...
