Installing SQL 2000 - Stuck in the mud!

  • I am installing SQL 2000 as named instance on a box that is already running 7.0. The install seems to run fine until the very end when it restarts the service, then I get an error (posted below).

    Thanks. -Matt

  • Do you have a service names MSSQL$SQL2000?

    Might try re-running setup, also, I hate names like this because there might be something reserved. Can you makeup some other instance name?

  • no new SQL services were installed. It looks setup removed them when the install went bad. I'll try a different instance name, but I have used this convention on another box without issue.

    Thanks again.

  • Let us know if it works and the outcome.

  • I have to bounce the server before it will let me run setup again. That will have to wait until tonight... I'll give you an update.

  • I had the same problem, still do as a matter of fact. I rec'd the same error and MS Support returned the following. Did not fix my problem. Maybe you'll have better luck

    "GetComputerName is used to obtain the local computer name. The client network library component (DBMSLPCn.dll) converts the name to all upper case. The server network library component (SSMSLPCn.dll) leaves the name as returned."

  • Karen - thanks for the info... did you apply the fix? If so, what was the result?

  • I did apply the fix but it did not help me. I thought it would because my computer name has small and upper case letters along with a dash - I still haven't been able to install SQL 2000 to my home system. I will be watching this thread to see how your problem gets solved.

    The other night I found an article by one of our forum hosts, sorry not sure which one of you bright gentlemen wrote it, that I am going to try tonight.

    Good Luck!

  • Can you post the entire contents of C:\WINNT\sqlstp.log?

  • Here's Microsoft's FAQ on SQL Server 2000 setup.

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q257716

    One thing that stood out is the possiblity of an issue of MDAC install failure. If MDAC 2.6 didn't install clean, it might explain the issue since MDAC 2.5 doesn't support named instances. I'm reaching here, but the article does indicate a file to look at to see if there was an error.

    Also, if all else fails and it won't let you install the second time around, here's the one on how to manually uninstall. I've had to use it once myself.

  • Karen - I'll keep you updated

    Brian - The MDAC thing sounds like a possibilty. I'll follow the links and hope for the best.

  • ok... here's the deal. I spoke with MS support today and we were able to solve the issue.

    1. Run SQL2000 setup from the cmd line using 'setupsql.exe k=dbg' (debug mode)

    2. The install will run each step then prompt you to continue or skip the next step.

    3. When setup reaches the point where it says that it will "now configure the server", you need to replace SSmsLPCn.dll in your binn folder.

    4. Once you have copied the new SSmsLPCn.dll, complete the remaining setup steps.

  • Hi,Matt

    I was reading this discussion.. I have a q for U.

    Where do U need to get this SSmsLPCn.dll file?

    Does setup ask U to replace into Ur BINN folder or U need to replace mannually copy from CD or other place(where?) into Ur BINN folder?

    Thx in advance

    Jay

  • Jay - you can get the files here -

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q285100.

    There are 2 files, a .dll and .pdb. They need to go into your binn directory after the files have been copied from the CD and prior to setup configuring the server.

    "setupsql.exe k=dbg" will allow you to step through setup.
