Hi, Thank you very much for your reply.
While checking the log file, I do not find any details of the utilities of SQL Server that were not installed properly, however, it shows the details of those utilities that were successfullly installed. Therefore, I uninstalled Win-XP from my system and reinstalled it twice. Every time I re-installed XP on my system, I was unable to install SQL 2005. I dont know what is wrong with XP and SQL 2005. Regards, Ashman Malhotra.
