Installation Help

  • Help... I am trying to install SQL Server 2000 onto a new Windows 2000 server (standard set up) + Java.

    I am getting the message Installation of Microsoft Data Access Components Failed (-1).

    There is no log in the ProgramFiles/SqlServer library and the log file in the WINNT says:

    10:06:06 Setup is installing Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) ...

    10:06:06 D:\x86\Other\sqlredis.exe /q:a /C:"setupre.exe WARN=1 -s -SMS"

    10:08:21 ExitCode: -1

    10:08:36 Installation of the Microsoft Data Access Components package failed. (-1)

    10:08:36 ConnectivityLocked returned: 0

  • Gotot http://www.microsoft.com/data and download a new copy of the MDAC. Install it first then try thr setup. Could be a file is locked when it tried to update or some corruption issue. Test with a new MDAC copy and see if you can get past this stage.

  • That worked fine. Thanks
