Hi.
I`m trying to install SQl Server 2005 beta 3 (ctp), and recives an error when installing the SQL database service.
I tried to give it the default name, tried a named instance, tried local system account, tried an admin login, but nothing.
The error is that it cant find the dsn of sql server.
Thanks for any advice.

We used to have a problem with installing SQL Server 2000 on a number of hosts where we had to ensure that the Host Identity was in UPPER case i.e. no mixed case or LOWER case characters before installing SQL Server.
I don't know if this has any bearing...

Just a guess but is the error: "SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server
configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source
name not found and no default driver specified"?
Fix:
1. Run SQL Native Client repair from the same install location as you
ran the setup first time. For example:
Setup\sqlncli.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus /qb
2. Run SQL Server setup again.
Hope this helps!
