Re: WSS 3.0 question



Thanks for the help. I found the following article referencing hotfix KB 934790 which I applied http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2007/05/22/trouble-installing-sharepoint-3-0-after-wsus-3-0.aspx. THe installation still fails, but with a different error. It appears it is rejecting the username/password which is the domain admin user account.
Does this help?

Something must have gone wrong during installation. By default WSS 3.0 installs SQL Server Embeded Edition which is similar to SQL Server Express edition.

I have SBS 2003 Premium, but no SQL Server installed as I had no need for it. I went to install WSS 3.0 following the MS documentation, followed the no upgrade option etc..
However when building the database, it fails referencing SQL xyz.
I assume that this likely because I don't have SQL server installed, but then again, WSS 2.0 works just with the MSSQL Desktop Engine. If I do need SQL server installed that's fine but the documentation did not state that.

THanks,
