    Hi all

    I want to install SQL 2000 desktop version on my 2000 OS ( I could not install full version because I have just the developer edition)

    I was looking for it all over Microsoft site and darn! I cannot find it.

    Could you point me where I could download it?

    Thanks

    There isn't a 'desktop' version. There's the Personal Edition and MSDE edition.

    Which is the one you want?

    Here's what I found out from Microsoft's web site: (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/sql/reskit/sql2000/part2/c0361.asp)

    SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition is not a separate product but rather a client component of SQL Server 2000 (included as part of Enterprise and Standard Editions), designed to bring SQL Server functionality to non-server hardware, including workstations and laptops. SQL Server Personal Edition can be installed on any client device to be used in conjunction with the server software. Licensing is governed by the same rules as Enterprise and Standard Edition licensing.

    SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition can be ordered online directly from Microsoft at http://shop.microsoft.com or from an authorized reseller ( http://shop.microsoft.com/helpdesk/reseller.asp). SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition is also included in the MSDN Universal subscription ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/).

    SQL Server 2000 Evaluation Edition can be ordered for a minimal fee from http://shop.microsoft.com/devtools/.

    SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine is included in a directory called "MSDE" at the root of the SQL Server 2000 Enterprise, Standard, and Developer Edition CD-ROMs. SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine will also be included in upcoming Microsoft products, just as MSDE 1.0 shipped in products like Microsoft Visual Studio® 6.0 Enterprise Edition and Microsoft Office 2000 Developer.
