    Hi Ganesh, Thanks for your response.

    I have the setup of MSDE 2000 Release A done and saved in my C:\MSDERelA\ folder.

    I tried to install a default instance configures to use Windows Authentcation Mode by executing:

    setup SAPWD="AStrongSAPwd"

    in the Command Prompt.

    My PC responded: Windows XP Setup

    Please go to the Control Panel to install and configure system components.

    I do not know what to do to get the system components of "MSDE 2000 Release A" configurated and have the MSDE 2000 Release A working in my PC!!!  Please help and advise me again.

    Let me tell you two more things: 

    (1) I tried to get Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition installed in my PC before I did this MSDE 2000 Release A installation.  Now both "Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition" and "MSDE 2000 Release A" are not successfully installed and configured in my PC.  Can these two SQL Servers co-exist and operate in my Windows XP Pro PC?  

    (2) I used the following to test SQL Server in my PC:  http://localhost/NorthDB/ch13_ex01.asp

    The latest result of this testing is listed below:
