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.
