Can't install sqlserver 2000

I tried the following question in setup, but didn't get an answer. I think
not being able to install sqlserver 2000 is a serious problem. I'd
appreciate any help.
thanks.

When I try to install sql server 2000 I get the following message.
Microsoft sql server 2000 enterprise edition server component is not
supported on this operating system. Only client components will be available
for installation.
I have xp pro.
I have never installed sql server 2000 before.
If client components are sufficient, how do I configure the security as
simple as possible. For now, just so I can sign in with all rights, with as
little typing as possible.
I went this far before cancelling. I clicked setup(I have the msdn DVD
version). After clicking next a few times it gave me the choice of client
tools only or connectivity only. The option button for server and client
tools was greyed out.
I have adsl and an ethernet card for the adsl, but I am not connected to any
sqlserver 2000.
Please help.

Hi,
The server components of the Enterprise Edition could not be installed on xp.
You should use the Developer Edition if you want to install all components
on xp.
If you do not have any server component available, client components only
will not provide the ability to create databases/tables….

my answer
Thanks Lionel. I chose the developer edition, server and client tools.
However when I get to services accounts I accepted the default - use a domain
user account. It had the username I use for logon to windows - dennist685.
the domain name was my first name in Caps. I tried several passwords, but got
the following error message:
The logon account cannot be validated for the sql server service. Verify
that the user name and password entered are correct. The logon attempt
failed.
Any ideas?

On xp you can install only the "desktop" or "developer" edition. Find it in
you msdn cd collection.

sorry, I did'nt read all (use > to quote!), use your computer name as domain
name (user name= PCNAME\USERNAME), or use a system account (if you don't
remember your password), or create a new user in xp (in the administrator
group).
|||Thanks Giuseppe,
I was installing the developer edition.

Otherwise, the other options Giuseppe provide would be good alternatives.
Remember, if you use your own credentials, you will need to reset the
service account passwords whenever you change your password.

But, I can't say I know what you're talking about.
I have no password for the dennist685 xp account. It's the only account,
the only account I want, and I was never asked for a password in the xp pro
installation. I fully installed iis with frontpage extensions.
What do you mean by network login? The login my ISP gave me to connect to
ADSL? I'm not part of any network. Mine is a lone computer connected to the
internet through an ADSL. I don't know what is meant by own credentials.
I also have no idea what this sentence means: You can use your own network
login for the service accounts on your
workstation but you need to be connected to the domain and you must have
local admin privleges.
or how to do it. What I need is just the simplest way to install sqlserver
2000, any edition, on xp pro. given my only account is dennist685, and there
is no password. My ISP account is also named dennist685. To that there is a
password and I tried it with the error above.
You're dealing with a real newbie here. Up to now I've been dealing with
Microsoft Access databases.
Thanks.

|||What I really want to know is the following. When I reach the point
specified, what should I type so that the installation proceeds.
Alternatively, what choices should I be making earlier in the installation
so that the screen in question works.
thanks.

Use the "local system" option. That will work. (Unless you limited the
permissions for SYSTEM, which is unlikely)

|||Joachim,
I got it installed. We got that far. However, when I view server explorer,
after a bunch of databases (all access)I get servers. under servers dennis.
One more indent a bunch of things ending in SQL Servers. Under that, one
indent more, is DENNIS. If I click the box for that, the screen freezes up
for awhile, then I finally get a login box that says
Server Dennis(textbox disabled)
Database blank (textbox disabled)
checkbox, unchecked, use NT integrated security
Login dennist685 (textbox enabled)
Password (blank (textbox enabled)
buttons OK, Cancel, Help
Help is unhelpful
If I click OK, nothing happens
If I click use NT sercurity and then OK, the screen freezes for a minute.
Then I get the message
[DTNETLIB[]ConnectionOpen(Connect(),]SL Server does not exist or access
denied.

sample databases installed as well. 'Seems' is the operative word.
