RE: Installing SP4 on SQL 2000

Hi David,

Try going to the SETUP LOGS for the SP4, for SQL Server 2000 I believe
they are in C:\Windows\*.log files. Look at the files to see if the setup
was successful or there were issues.

If you can't find any log files, I would try to stop and start it again.
Also re-download the binaries from Microsoft just in case there is a
corruption issue.

Thanks.

Hi,
I'm a SQL Server newbie. I hope this is the right group. Basically I can't
get the SP4 after I've downloaded it, to run.

I've recently downloaded SP4 since I have reinstalled SQL Server 2000 which
I think is SP3. Anyway, I have downloaded the Database components exe file
and the Analysis services exe file. When I double click each file they
extract each group of components fine. The problem comes in trying to RUN
each of these.

Following the instructions from the MS web site I have run the Setup.bat
file and NOTHING seems to happen. I have run the setup.exe in the x86/setup
folder and it says setup is already running. Basically nothing seems to run
and indicate that it is actually installing. Now I'm worried something more
sinister has gone wrong. I know the MS Site has the instructions but they
seem awfully confusing or advanced or both. Is there a straight forward way
to do this? Could someone assist?
