Installing SQL Server 2000 Error. Currently had SQL Server 2005 installed....

  • Hi all,

    is it possible to run both instances of SQL Server 2000 and 2005 on the same PC?

    The reason I am asking is becasue my install failed for SQL Server 2000 when i already have SQL server 2005 installed.

    Get the following at the end of the sqlstp.log file...

    ###############################################################################

    Starting Service ...

    Latin1_General_CI_AS

    -m -Q -T4022 -T3659

    An error occurred while attempting to start the service (1053)

    SQL Server configuration failed.

    I'm really stumped by this, and can only think that the reason is because I had SQL Server 2005 installed, but I could be wrong.

    Hope you can help.

    Thanks

  • It is  supported to run both instances of SQL Server 2000 and 2005 on the same PC. But you need to install 2000 first and then install a named instance of 2005.

    Never tried to install 2005 then 2000. Not sure your error is caused by this or not

     

  • OK, thanks for the reply.

    I will uninstall SQL Server 2005, and then install SQL Server 2000 and 2005 respectively.

  • Yeah, that seems to have solved it. I uninstalled SQL Server 2005 and then installed SQL Server 2000 and 2005 respectively, and its all working now.

    Thanks
