Install SQL2000 from Win2k Server

  • I copied the SQL2000 CD to a server to try to do installs from there. When clicking on autorun, I get the "Can't run 16 bit Windows program error" with a Can't find file error. Can someone please help?

  • FYI: I tried adding the server path as an environmental variable, but this still did not work.

  • Well, not to be rude, but are you sure you're in the right place? I have an image on my dev machine at home rignt now, installs fine on Win2K. Running setup.bat should execute this:

    @echo off

    start x86\setup\setupsql.exe

    Try running that directly?

  • I haven't smoked any boo since the 80's.

    It may be a configuration issue on the server. I will investigate.

  • It was a training issue. Once the share is created, map a drive on the pc to make it function. Do not use My Network Places, entire network to reference it.
