The system is configured with Windows 2000 Server SP4, and the SQL is the most current version of it. When we try to load the SQL, it is displaying a message saying This is not a server version of the OS.??

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

It should work fine, the system reqs for SQL 2005 standard edition lists Windows 2000 server.

Have you tried applying all the windows updates, the latest windows installer and MDAC components?

Alos, try looking for a log file being created in c:\winnt named something like sqlsetup.log it may give you more info.

Um SQL 2005 32bit "standard" does not even require a server OS..

http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/standard/sysreqs.mspx

Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack (SP) 4 or later; Windows 2000 Professional Edition with SP 4 or later; Windows XP with SP 2 or later; Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition, or Datacenter Edition with SP 1 or later; Windows Small Business Server 2003 with SP 1 or later

The details of EXACTLY what version of SQL your trying to install -- "other than the latest" :rolleyes:

Would be helpful!

The answers are in the details -- when you give none, answers are hard to come by --> What platform version are you trying to install for example? The x64 and Itanium version of SQL do not list Windows 2k as a supported OS for example.

edit: If I recall correctly, the setup log files for sql 2005 are here;

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap

    • And we think AI can take over lower level programmers jobs? Just search for the SHA hash for the "rogue" sound file and delete it.
    • Meta will use AI to summarize your WhatsApp messages by David Uzondu Recently, Meta announced that ads are coming to WhatsApp, appearing in Status and Channels. Now, another update is on its way, this time in the form of a new feature called "Message Summaries", that leverages Meta's AI to summarize your chats for you. For those moments when you are drowning in unread messages, you can choose to have the AI generate a quick summary to get the gist of a conversation. To address the immediate privacy alarms this sets off, Meta says that its "Private Processing technology" will be used. This supposedly ensures that neither Meta nor WhatsApp can see your original messages or the private summaries the AI generates. To prove its sincerity, Meta published a deep technical white paper that explains how this privacy is supposed to be maintained. In the technical documentation, Meta explains the way it works is built on "Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)". These TEEs are essentially secure, isolated black boxes running on a server, powered by hardware like NVIDIA H100 GPUs. Your phone establishes a direct, encrypted connection to one of these TEEs, sends the message data for processing, and receives the summary. Meta's own administrators and other systems supposedly cannot peek inside this box. And when the job is done, no message is retained. The security of the entire system hinges on being able to trust that this TEE is what it claims to be. Meta's system uses a process called remote attestation. Before your phone sends any data, it demands proof from the server. This proof is a cryptographic report, signed by the hardware itself, verifying that the TEE is running the exact, unmodified software that Meta has publicly logged with a third party like Cloudflare. Only if that proof checks out does the connection proceed. Users will have control over this process. The feature is off by default, and a setting under "Advanced Chat Privacy" will let you specify which chats can be shared for AI features. Message Summaries is currently rolling out in English for users in the US, with Meta planning for a global expansion sometime next year.
    • It's never a good sign when the developer is gaslighting its customers.
    • Unpopular (or maybe popular?) opinion: I prefer Windows Vista's startup chime than W11.
    • Well I tried New Outlook a bit in the past, But was concerned on the privacy aspect with Gmail Imap and Comcast.net email going to Microsoft Servers. I've been using Outlook Classic since 1997 on my Personal systems, so for now think will stick with that, but i could get used to New Outlook i think fairly quickly if i forced to in the future. Anyhow who knows maybe it will be as good as Outlook Classic in the future, never know
