rakem Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Iam having some problems installing an MSDE database. I have downloaded MSDE2000A from the microsoft website and iam running the setup from the command promt using the following command : sql2000.msi BLANKSAPWD=1the setup starts to run fine, then it gets to a point in the installation and the progress bar starts to go backwards and the setup exits without any errors being logged or any indication that the install failed, except that in the Add / Remove programs section of controll pannel there is nothing related to MSDE installed.how can i remedy this situation?

fizban2 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 why don't you try SQL server 2005 Express... it is much better then the MSDE engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
