MSDE 2000 installation on Windows 98 SE

Hi,
I have Installed MSDE 2000 on Windows 98 SE box After REBOOT MSDE
service is running.
I am not able to connect to the MSDE in WIndows Authentication mode
while using Login ( sa ) / password the connectivity is done.
My GUI uses the MSDE connection in "Windows Authentication Mode" which
is working fine with the 2K/XP but not with 98SE/ME.
The MSDE Readme.txt says that on 98 / ME the default Connectivity mode
is "Windows Authentication" BUT its not working in that way.
I have tried SECURITYMODE=SQL as command line to setup.exe as well but
results are same.
Any clue to run it in WMA Mode on Win98SE/ME ?
thanks
kapil
Hi Kaps,
Win98 doesn't provide the infrastructure that MSDE needs to use Windows
Authentication. You will need to use SQL Server authentication and specify
an password for sa (SAPWD) while installing it.
