I am trying to install MS SQL 2000 (Evaluation version) on Windows XP
professional . Inserting the CD, autorun picks up. I select "SQL Server
2000 Components and then "Install Database Server", The setupsql.exe and
sqlstp.exe are running as processes. However, nothing happen after that.
Do you have any idea what is going on? It is very bad, it don't even
give me an error message.

Thanks in advance
