  Hi,

  Iam having windows XP Professional with sp2 OS..... Well my problem is that Iam not able to install sql server 2000 standard edition on this operating system.

  It gives the following error :

  " MS sql server 2000 standard edition server component is not supported on this operating system. Only client components will be available for installation."

  FYI: Already I have sql server 2005 epress edition on my machine.

  Please share your ideas and solutions 😎

  Thanks,

  Raj

  SQL 2000 Standard/Enterprise doesn't work under XP. You need to use SQL 2000 Personal.

  You can install the Developer Edition on XP as long as its for development purposes.
