Oooops, the second string should be: Setup /i setup\sqlrun01.msi blanksapwd=1 /l*v install.log

Try this, open a command prompt and type the following: Osql -E <press enter> (this should take you into the SQL command line indicated by a simple >) Select @@version <press enter> Go <press enter> At this point you should get a string that will definitively tell you the current version. If it is not .760 then the install did not succeed. At this point you can try to patch the current install or uninstall the current installation and try again. 1) If you elect to upgrade, try this string from the MSDE directory that was created when you decompressed the package (this should be the directory that has the setup.exe in it): Setup /upgradesp setup\sqlrun01.msi blanksapwd=1 /l*v install.log This should run the upgrade and set everything straight. Don't worry about the blank sa password because when you install the beta it will prompt you to assign a secure password to the sa account. It doesn't do this because it is going to use it, but just so that it is secure. 2) If you elect to do the uninstall and then a full install again, try this string from the same directory indicated in step 1: Setup setup\sqlrun01.msi blanksapwd=1 /l*v install.log That is about the best I can do to help you. Microsoft did their best to provide a comprehensive package, but it can be fickle on the install. Cheers, -- L2 Lynn E.

I have uninstalled my old 6.21xpu6.25 version of Internet Scanner. I have installed MSDE2000 SP3. When I do a help about it in SQL, it tells me version 8.00.194. I can not install the beta software. It tells me " the installed version of SQL Server is less than 8.0 SP3. This version of SQL Server is not supported. You must uninstall or upgrade SQL Server". Anyone experiencing this or have suggestions?? _______________________________________________ ISSForum mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE OR CHANGE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, go to https://atla-mm1.iss.net/mailman/listinfo _______________________________________________ ISSForum mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE OR CHANGE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, go to https://atla-mm1.iss.net/mailman/listinfo _______________________________________________ ISSForum mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE OR CHANGE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, go to https://atla-mm1.iss.net/mailman/listinfo
