MSDE 2000 Release A Supported systems

The addendum to the Readme file for MSDE 2000 Release A states "MSDE 2000 Release A is supported on Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Web Edition".
Does this mean that it executes only under Windows 2000 Server 2003 ?
I am running Windows 2000 Pro, it doesnt work. Does anyone run MSDE 2000 Rel A under other windows versions?

I think that extract shoul'd be intended as "Microsoft Windows Server 2003,
Web Edition can only run MSDE and not a full blown SQL Server edition"...
MSDE can be installed up to Win98 boxes, more system requirements at

MSDE /XP Problem -Please Help

Hi,
I have2 machines connected to each other. Both the systems
have MS XP operating systems with SP2 patch on them. I
have installed MSDE SP3 on both the systems.
I would like to run a query from one machine on a database
on the other using osql.I was unable to. It gives an error
saying "Access denied"
Are there any settings that i will have to change. I want
one to be like a server and another a client. Each has
its own database.
osql -Usa -Ppassword -S<servername> <enter>
Does not work.

If you aren't getting a logon failure, check to make sure you have port 1433
(or the MSDE sqlserver exe) set up as an exception in the XP SP2 firewall
settings.
