SQL SP4 Uninstended Install failure

  • Using a sql2kdef.iss file the install is stopping.

    System is a Windows 2003 server, SQL 2000, with Service Pack 3.

    My log excerpt follow

    10:55:14 Begin : SdErrorReportingDlg

    The only thing I could think of was it's failing the password check and reporting a weak password for the SA account. Now I did verify that the passwords on this mixed mode server are complex so I don't think that's the issue but I'm at a loss.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Apparently there is some issue with MS scenarios involving installing RTM > SP4 versus SP3>SP4.
