I am sorry for the trouble you're experiencing, but I can confirm that the
SQL Server Client Tools cannot be installed in Windows Server 2003, Web
Edition. The following page,
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/evaluation/overview/web.mspx,
states that you cannot deploy SQL Server on it and that non-Web serving
applications are prohibited, but doesn't come right out and say you cannot
install the SQL Server Client Tools. Perhaps it should...

I need to connect to my SQL servers (I have serveral).  However, in order to
connect PHP, I need to SQL Client Tools - note, the client tools ONLY! But
the install simply fails over and over.  In fact, you cannot install SQL
Server 2000 on 2003 WE.  But I don't need to the database server, just the
client tools! There appears to be NO documentation that says this isn't
possible.  But if it can't it seems like false advertising.  If I knew it
couldn't I wouldn't have bought it.

WE?
