Problem installing SQL Server 7 Service Pack 4

  • I have an NT4 Server (SP6a) GSX Image on which I have installed SQL Server 7.  When I try to install SQL 7 Service Pack 4 on here it hangs and freezes the server (typically at the validating user stage).  Has anyone had this problem?  We have done the same on a Windows 2000 Server Image and it is fine and it is also fine on an NT4 physical server so I am assuming that the problem is the combination of NT4 and GSX.

  • One of developers I support did have this problem: SP 3A install on  SSQL Server 2000 on Windows 2003 server hanging on "Validating User" stage.

    This machine had other Windows problems and had to be re-imaged

  • Thanks, that is interesting.  The image here has been rebuilt 3 times so our Systems Admin team don't think it is a problem with the image itself (I'm not so sure though).

  • Graham,

    The problem may be not with the image but what was installed on the image after. The server I mentioned was built (installed) not from the Image SW. I will try to talk to the sysadmin of that machine to check if he remembers what was the OS issue with the machine.
