MSDE 2000 SP4 failed on XP SP1

  • I've tried to install MSDE 2000 SP4 on Windows XP SP1 machine but the installation process failed with this message:

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

    As for the setup log the command that caused the problem:

    === Verbose logging started: 2005.05.31.  15:49:28  Build type: SHIP UNICODE 2.00.2600.1106  Executing "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\cnfgsvr.exe -V 1 -M 1 -U sa -I "MSSQLSERVER" -Q "SQL_Hungarian_CP_1250_CI_AS""

    The cnfgsrv.out file contains this:

    Starting Service ...

    SQL_Hungarian_CP_1250_CI_AS

    -m -Q -T4022 -T3659

    An error occurred while attempting to start the service (1460)

    SQL Server configuration failed.

    I used the following command:

    C:\MSDE\Setup.exe /settings "setup.ini" /qn /L*v C:\MSDELog.log

    The setup.ini:

    [Options]

    SAPWD="sa"

    SECURITYMODE=SQL

    COLLATION="SQL_Hungarian_CP_1250_CI_AS"

    DISABLEROLLBACK=0

    I've tried everything (for 1 day) i found on the web but nothing helped:

     - Changed the Computername uppercase

     - Removed all registry keys for prevoius installation of SQL server 2000

    Does anybody have a suggestion? I am desperate.

    Thanks in advance
