MSDE 2000 installation on XP

We're having trouble installing MSDE 2000 on two machines here. They were Win98, upgraded to XP Professional using the upgrade CD labelled 'version 2002'. If we run MSDE installation the routine goes virtually to the end, then the progress bar runs backwards down to zero and the product is not installed. As an experiment we installed XP Pro from a full install (as opposed to upgrade) CD and then ran the MSDE installation, and it worked just fine on the same machine. Problem is we've sold these as XP Pro upgrades and so we don't have keys to install full version for the customer. The verbose log informs me that the installation failed but not clearly why (there's almost 3.5Mb of it).

I realise this might not be enough for anyone to help, but I was hoping that the reverse progress bar might be something someone else has experienced. The machines are Celeron 700 or 766, one has 64Mb the other has 128Mb, 20Gb HDDs with plenty (>18Gb) available. All ideas greatly appreciated.The following article addresses your issue:

Good luck.|||Thank you very much. I'll try that out - looks like it will do the trick as we didn't specifically have file and print sharing loaded.|||Originally posted by theosgb

We had the same problem here. Once we ran lodctr /r:PrefStringBackup.ini we were able to install the software.|||Hi,
Would you please give me more details on this command.
Your immidiate response is truly appreciated.

We have found that when a user upgrades from 98/ME to XP. the performance counters get messed up. Once the counters are gone, MSDE will not go on. Running this command reset the counters thereby allowing MSDE to be installed.|||I got past the install after running the LODCTR command and then enabling File and Print Sharing. THANK you guys for all the help .

CdRNoone knows why i cant install?|||Where did you get the the MDSE CD from? In seems that it may be corrupt.

I don't recall any internet calls during any installation I have performed. The fact that the website called s in Germany makes me wonder about the validity of the installation CD.

Be careful that it isn't corrupting your system.

Is there a reason that you are installing the German version?
("C:\Programme" as opposed to "C:\Program Files")|||The MSDE is included in a Program CD of Microsoft, but i tried to download it and install the MSDE... nothing change.

"C:\Programme" <- Thats the Standard-Programm-Dir :)

thx 4 help!

Bye

MSDE

Hello
How do you use Enterprise Manager in MSDE. I got the
version of MSDE from Office XP Professional edition.
AsifEnterprise manager is not shipped with MSDE . The SQL Server 2000 Desktop
Engine does not include graphical management tools. You can manage instances
of the Desktop Engine from the SQL Server 2000 graphical tools if installed
with another edition of SQL Server.
Or use third party tools for MSDE
