SQL Express 2005 SP2 compatibility

I am attempting to install SQL Express 2005 SP2 on a Windows 2000 Server computer. Can someone tell me if this version of SQL is compatible with this operating system? I am getting a warning that my system does not meet the minimum hardware requirements when attempting the install.

I have 512bm of memory (minimum requirement is 192), a PIII/866mhz processor (minimum requirement is a PIII/600mhz) and plenty od disk space. So is it the operating system that is causing this warning?

I also have the Windows Installer 3.1 as well as the Dot Net Framework 2.0 installed.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help - Steve

SQL Server will run on hardware much smaller than its "minimum requirements", so even if there is a deficiency, it should still work Smile

SQL Express requires a minimum of Windows 2000 SP4, if you are not at that service pack level, installation will not be allowed to proceed. The full requirements for SQL Express can be found at http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/B/5/2B5E5D37-9B17-423D-BC8F-B11ECD4195B4/RequirementsSQLEXP2005.htm.
