RE: Installing SQL 2000 onto Server with SQL 2005

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello,

I understand that you are not able to install SQL 2000 on a SQL 2005
machine. You recieved general network error when SQL is runinng
cnfgsvr.exe. If I'm off-base, please let me know.

SQL 2000 could be installed on a server with SQL 2005 instance installed.
Based on my experience, the issue you encountered could occur if MDAC files
are in use when installing SQL. I suggest you reinstall MDAC on Win2003 SP1
and restart the server to test the situaition


1. Right click %windir%\inf\mdac.inf , and click Install

2. Please direct it to Win2003 SP1 setup CD or folder when prompted.


If the issue persists, I suggest that you stop all services except these
services to isolate third party program issues:

Alerter
Computer Browser
DHCP Client
Directory Replicator
Event Log
License
Logging
Net Logon
Network DDE
Network DDE DSDM
Plug n Play
NT LM Security Support Provider
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service
Server
Spooler
TCP/IP Netbios Helper
Workstation

Please let me know if you have any further questions or updates, and we
look forward to your reply.
