If you do get problems, do not expect that anyone can give you a solution other than re-install on a supported operating system.Fri, 13 Jan 2012 06:06:15 GMTEdVassiehttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1149678-377-1.aspxno...not possibleThu, 12 Jan 2012 09:55:00 GMTravikanth.http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1149678-377-1.aspxHi,Helo helpCan i install sql server 2008 on Windows 2000 server system,.Please anyone advise methanksJerryWed, 27 Jul 2011 14:56:52 GMTsolomon.jernas
