When trying to install sql 2000 sp3a on a 2003 server, I get the following error. Setup initialization error. access is denied. Source: D:\x86\setup\sqlspre.ini target: C:\docume~1\admini~1\local~1\temp\setupsql.ini Any ideas?
Hello, Go into that folder (C:\docume~1 ...) and delete the file setupsql.ini Re-run the setup. If it still doesn't work, i would recommend you to ask in microsoft.public.sqlserver.server http://www.microsoft.com/sql/commun...ult.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.sqlserver.server They can help you with problems about SQL Server 2000. -- Regards, Kristofer Gafvert - IIS MVP Reply to newsgroup only.
