Hi, Bruce. Of the four versions of SQL Server 2000 that are available, only the personal version of SQL Server 2000 can be installed on aWinXP machine. All other versions must be installed on a Windows server system (Win2K, Win2K3, SBS, etc.) Since you are doing this on your development machine, the personal version will work just fine. I use SQL Server 2000 on my own laptop dev machine that has WinXP Pro on it.
Best regards, ERon -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Sorge [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 12:01 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Getting SQL Server onto XP Pro machine I was attempting to install SQL Server 2000 SP3 onto my Windows XP Professional machine, and I was informed that I could only install the client tools and not the server itself. This sucks since this is a laptop that I do development on, and my main SQL Server is home on my server. Has anyone had this problem and is there a solution? Do I need to downgrade my machine to Windows 2000? Thanks, -- Bruce Sorge ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
