  I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 on Windows XP. All components install successfully except for SQL Server Database services. I do have a SQL Server 2000 client tools installed on the same machine.

  would really appreciate any help on this...Thanks

  The log file has the following

  Do you already have an installation of SQL 2000 (database engine, not just tools) on that machine? I could be misreading the error, but it looks to me like you're trying to install a default instance on top of another default instance.

  There are only SQL server 2000 client tools installed in the machine. I was able to install 2005 client tools as well.

  Thanks
