Jim, If this is the first install of MSDE for you, run with the following command-line from the MSDE folder:
Setup /i setup\sqlrun01.msi blanksapwd=1 /l*v sql_inst.log If you already have an MSDE DB installed for another product, but need this for RSSP then use the following: Setup /i setup\sqlrun02.msi instancename=type_the_name_you_want_here blanksapwd=1 /l*v sql_inst.log If you already have an sa account password in your MSDE installation the swap out the blanksapwd=1 for sapwd=put_the_password_here Hope this helps, -- L� Lynn E.

I am trying to install SP2 for SiteProtector 2.0. It requires MSDE SP3a. So, I downloaded the file sql2kdesksp3.exe from Microsoft and run it, which unpacks the file. Then in the appropriate directory I run setup.exe after a minute, I get and error saying "The instance name specified is invalid". The version of SQL is the one provided with site protector and SELECT @@VERSION shows: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194 (Intel X86) Since the installation exists after the above error, I am stuck at this point. Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
