SQL Server setup problem on XP Pro

  • Hello people, can you help me with this problem?.

    This error is reported on my XP Professional system when i try to install SQL Server 2000 (Client and server tools):

    InstallShield Engine has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

    AppName: _ins5576._mp

    AppVer: 5.53.168.0

    ModName: sqlsui.dll

    ModVer: 2000.80.194.0

    Offset: 000280fd

    I don't know what to do, this error is reported when i try to install Personal or Developer edition.

    Thanks for your help.

  • I run Developer on XP with no problems. Do you have SP1 loaded? Found this link, perhaps helpful:

  • And I have a copy of EE we tested on Home and Professional editions of XP, both did fine even with File and Print sharing turned off. However I have had folks report when they turned file and print sharing back on things went smooth when they were getting errors.
