Hello All,
I am a newbie to ASP.Net
I am trying to setup the NetSDK server instance using sql2kdesksp3 to setup the SQL server desktop engine but it not working.
Can anyone help me with a walkaround this.
Some details about installations already on my PC are:
1 Window XP Professional
2 Visual Studio.Net 2003
3 SQL SERVER 2000 Developer edition

I used the following command Line parameters but nothing happens:
setup INSTANCENAME="NetSDK" SAPWD="mypasword"

Please help!!

Thanks

Anjorin,

If you have SQL Server Developer Edition installed, why are you trying to create an instance through the command line rather than the Enterprise Manager? Also, the command line info you've provided appears to be incomplete - is that the complete text that you typed at the command line?

Hello guys,
It's solved!!.
I used the following parameters instead of the one i used earlier as suggested:

setup.exe /qb + INSTANCENAME="NetSDK" DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 SAPWD="MyPassword"

Also i now manage the instance through SQLSERVER.

Thanks a lot for your support.

When i run the command it gives me this message box
Please go to the control panel to install and configure all components.
Does this happen? or do i have to change some settings?
thanks

Prit,

Please describe in detail what you mean by "when I run the command". Are you attempting to set up MSDE2000 for the first time, and/or are you attempting to create a new instance? Are you using osql for admin? What is the command?

There is a lot of info posted on the MSDN site about setting up instances of MSDE2000, but if you can provide sufficient detail about what you are trying to do, I may be able to help you directly.
