Hi,
I?ve tried to install MSDE 2000 SP4 on Windows XP SP1 machine but the
installation process failed with this message:

"Setup failed to configure the server. Refer to the server error logs
and setup error logs for more information"

As for the setup log the command that caused the problem:
=== Verbose logging started: 2005.05.31. 15:49:28 Build type: SHIP
UNICODE 2.00.2600.1106 Executing "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Tools\Binn\cnfgsvr.exe -V 1 -M 1 -U sa -I
"MSSQLSERVER" -Q "SQL_Hungarian_CP_1250_CI_AS""

The cnfgsrv.out file contains this:

Starting Service ...
SQL_Hungarian_CP_1250_CI_AS
-m -Q -T4022 -T3659
An error occurred while attempting to start the service (1460)
SQL Server configuration failed.

I used the following command:

C:\MSDE\Setup.exe /settings "setup.ini" /qn /L*v C:\MSDELog.log

The setup.ini:
[Options]
SAPWD="sa"
SECURITYMODE=SQL
COLLATION="SQL_Hungarian_CP_1250_CI_AS"

I?ve tried everything (for 2 days) i found on the web but nothing
helped:
- Changed the Computername uppercase
- Removed all registry keys for prevoius installation of SQL server
2000

I tried to install MSDE on 4 different computers with no success.
Does anybody have a suggestion? I am desperate.
Thanks in advance
