Problem with installing SQL Server 2000

Help me

I am installing SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2000 and It ends up with the error showing :
"Setup failed to Configure Server. Please refer to C:\Winnt\Sqlstp.log for detail"
I checked sqlstp.log and found that
driver={sql server};server=MyServer;UID=sa;PWD=;database=....,
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Connection broken

Thanks in advance.

Is that Windows 2000 server or workstation? And what edition of SQL Server are you installing?

Also - at what point in the installation is it failing?

HTH

problem with installation of RDA...

Hello,

We have a server with 64bit Windows 2003 Server. I installed sqlce30setupen.msi and started to configure it. I get an error during virtual directory creating process which says "server tools must be installed first"....but I installed sqlce30setupen.msi already...Doesn't it the server tools that the error message says about?

The server tools are not supported on 64 bit Windows (for now) - sadly!|||

Hello,

Is it possible to install the server components to a pc(1) and install sql server to another pc(2) and connect to (2) via (1) using RDA method. I need this because the sql server is in 64bit windows 2003 server,so server tools can not be installed to it. I want to install server tools to another pc and access sql server via it.

How can I do that?

Yes, this scenario is absolutely supported, so you must run 32 bit Windows on the web server, and can run 64 bit Windows on the DB server. See the SQL CE Books Onlie topic: Multiple Server Environment at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172937.aspx
