Problem to install MSDE 2000 SP4...

Hi All

I've tried to install MSDE 2000 SP4 onto my machine running XP SP2 but encountered the following problem:

Setup failed to configure the server. Refer to the server error logs and setup error logs for more information.

The "cnfgsvr.out" file shows the following:

Starting Service ...

Latin1_General_CI_AS

-m -Q -T4022 -T3659

Connecting to Server ...

driver={sql server};server=DE-PC26761-4;UID=sa;PWD=;database=master

[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

SQL Server configuration failed.

Anyone has a solution to the above problem?

It seems to have been caused by my attempt to also install SQL Server 2005 CTP June edition onto the same machine.

Thanks.

I guess by now u solved this. but still for others who r facing this problem. I got the solution which is working fine for me, as I got the same error.

Chekc the registry entries at

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI]

If the entries are not there copy from other machine which is working fine and copy that part. Restart the system and try installing again. thats u won't get any issues atleast not this error.

if u don't hav just mail me I can send u that registry entries for winxp
