I have worked a little with MSDE mainly for the purpose of a tutorial book.
Right now I have just switched to an XP pc, and i am trying to install it once more, However I am experiencing severe problems when doing so, and i cannot find the correct answer, despite trawling thru these forums.
I am running the command prompt and
cd \sql2ksp3
then cd msde, followed by
Setup SAPWD=password SecurityMode=SQL
It then begins installing, and as it reaches the conclusion i get an error
Setup Failed to configure the server ,refer to the server error logs and the setup error logs for more information.
I just cannot work out what is causing this, i have plenty space on my pc, i am running winXP It seems so many people are having problems with MSDE
is there any way i can install it without a command prompt? or does anyone have a link to a proper installation guide.
Or maybe somone can help me with this problem
Thanks so much in advance
RaphaelIt seems like the Security Mode=SQL causes trouble. Try to install it with just SAPWD=password, I did and it worked
