Warning Messages & failure Installing MSSQL 2005 Enterprise Client tools

I am trying to install the client tools for management purposes only on a IBM T42 laptop which meets all the hardware and software requirements listed on MS support including the HCL list, the Readme, the forums and MSDN but the install still shows the following log messages when the install fails.

AdminMessage = Setup requires user to be in the administrator group in order to continue the installation process. Setup is aborting as the current user is not in the administrator group.

(I am an adminsistrator on this machine)


Property(S): SupportedOSMessage = Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system. For information on supported configurations, see the product documentation.

Property(S): SupportedProcTypeMessage = This Microsoft SQL Server Native Client package is not supported on the current processor type.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are those messages being displayed through the UI or just present in the log? A lot of those properties get set during various stages of installation, but are never displayed (basically just setting variable names). Can you search through your logs for the text string "return value 3" and try to locate the error within 10 or so lines?

Thanks,

I'm encountering the same error. I'm on a Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading.

I did receive an error through the installer that said "Property(S): SupportedProcTypeMessage = This Microsoft SQL Server Native Client package is not supported on the current processor type." This was shown for the SQL Native Client install piece.

When I searched for the return value 3, I found it twice in the Workstation Components log, but I'm not sure what you'd be interested in after that...there's a lot, but no errors\
