Installation help

  • I have been trying to install SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition on a Windows 2000 Server (SP4) as a local administrator. I keep getting the error: "Installation of Microsoft Data Access Components package failed (-1). Please help.

  • have you tried running the Component Checker for MDAC?

  • Thanks Bruno

    I have downloaded and installed the Component Checker but it is unable to locate MSVCP60.dll. What I have in my system is MSVCP50.dll. Where can I get that MSVCP60.dll?

     

  • Have you tried http://www.dll-files.com/ ?

  • I have downloaded and installed MSVCP60.dll then ran Component Checker. Component Checker 2.0 returned: "The following product releases were matched: MDAC 2.5 SP3".

    What will I do next? I really appreciate your help

  • Did you uninstall or had to delete previous versions of SQL or SQL 2000 which might already running ?

    If that is true, verify if any SQL services are running (SQL Agent, MSDTC or even MS Search) and stop them before you start installation. 

    Thanks

     

     

     

     

  • Thanks for your concern Gigaspeed, but this is a fresh installation of SQL

  • Do I need to download and install latest version of MDAC to successfully install SQL or do I have to download and install MDAC 2.5 SP3 to replace the MDAC in my system to be able to finish installing SQL? Please help me.

  • I'd advise you to install the latest MDAC and then try reinstalling SQL Server 2000.

    Of course, there may be a few more issues regarding your system configuration.

  • Thanks again Bru. I will post the results here tomorrow then consult you if any issues arise.

  • Thank you very much Bruno After I installed the latest version of MDAC,, the installation went very smooth.
