    I am trying to install the client tools for MSSQL 2000 on my XP box. I used to just insert my SQL Server 2000 CD in the drive, select install server (It told me it could not because it was XP, I could only do the client tools), and off it went just installing the tools. (Entrprise Manager, etc). Now, when I insert the CD, I select SQL Server Components -> Install Database Server.....then nothing happens. It just goes away. If I try again, it says setup is already running....so I check and there are two processes still running. I have tried killing those and trying again....same story. I have also tried to wait it out (over a day), still nothing happens. I have kiled any other programs running, including AV, etc. Any ideas what could be stopping this install? Is there a manual way to install just the client tools?

    Thanks for the help!

    Try finding the setup files on the cd and starting it from there.
    And are you loged in as admin?

    Yes, I have tried directly accessing the setup .exe, and have also verified that I was infact logged on as admin.

    Any other ideas? :)

    Thanks for the help!

    How many setup files are there,try doing a search?Maybe there is more than one.
    Try search 'setup' on the cd.
