W2K3 install problem

  • I am having problems installing SQL Server 2000 on a new Windows 2003 Server box.

    I get part way through the installation and I get the following dialogue box.

    SQL2000 W2K3 install error message

    Can anyone help?

  • Can't see the image. What does it say? No issues for 2 installs here.

  • Just guessing here, but is it the image that says that SQL Server 2000 is not supported below Service Pack 3? If so, don't worry, just click the button to ignore the message and continue the installation, then install SP3a once the initial install is complete.

  • I got the same error here for not able to support below SP 3, but once sql server is install, just put sp3a and the hot fix and it works just fine.

  • The image says

    The software that you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with this version of windows. Tell me why this is important.

    This software will not be installed.  Contact your systems administrator.

    I cannot actually get to the point where SQL is installed so service packing it is a non-starter.

  • I suspect you have a group policy in effect that won't allow you to install non-verified software. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=822798 for more info

  • Hey,

    We were having an issue installing Reporting services on W2k3.  We made sure the IWam and Iusr accounts had the same password.  We also changed the DTC service to logon as teh network service account.  And we added the Iwam account to the administrators.

     

    Worked like a charm after that.  We've had this problem twice. Even called Mirosoft.  So I don't know if that helps.
