Problem with installation

Miha,
The following KB link may help
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...b;en-us;841249. According
to the log (near the end), the connection is being broken when trying to
access the SQL Server. The Windows Firewall that was introduced with Windows
XP SP2 may be causing the problem. The link will provides directions on
configuring the firewall to allow SQL Server 2000 to operate. Hope this
helps. Thanks.
