Problem Installing MS-SQLSERVER on Laptop

Hello Friends at dBForum !!

:confused: I have a strange problem, and I need to know what would be the source of this. I have a laptop computer with the following configuration:

Pentium III
Brand : Toshiba
Speed : 500 Mhz
RAM : 192 MB
Hard Disk : 6 GB
Space Available : 4 GB
O.S. : Windows 98

The computer works pretty good and run different applications. I was trying to install MS-SQLSERVER 2000 and I checked out the software and hardware requierements for that and everything seems to be fine. The reason that I need it its because of my trips, and its incredible I have a desktop computer with almost the same configuration and runs pretty good.

When you have a problem installing SQL-SERVER 2000 you have a file called cnfgsvr with all the explanation. I got this at hand so you can see better the problem:

Iniciando servicio ...

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]No existe el servidor SQL Server o se ha denegado el acceso al mismo.

This is what I got after the installation fails: Here is the log sequence, and I got this from a file called sqlstp2000:

On the other hand, I tried to install MS-SQLSERVER 7.0 ( you know if I can get do it with MS-SQLSERVER 2000 ) and this is what I got :

Accordiing to the message shown in the bottom line, we may see its like the installation were stopped because of a request of the Control Service Manager. I never stop the installation or something like that but I dont have a clue why or where is the problem here.

My desktop computer is standalone and works without problems. Of course I read that if you have PWS ( Personal Web Server ) running you may need to stop that first, and then proceed. I did it and it never worked.

If you have any suggestion about it, this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much,

Cordially,

Alessandro Barbieri - PeruHi

Remove SQL Server and use MSDE insted.|||I will try it. Thanks
