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

    • A summary of the article shouldn't be an issue in theory, as the information is all based within the document itself. The problem with a lot of AI models is that they are trained off both Wikipedia as a primary source and other secondary websites which have less reliable information. As an encyclopaedia it is no doubt going to have bias in one way or another, all encyclopaedias do. The difference is that there is a process for a lot of this information to be figured out whether or not it is an opinion, or the source of that information, and to be aware of the possible bias in the first place, even your own bias as a reader. The way many people understand languages these days is quite limited, particularly in certain areas of the world. This is obvious in many types of "journalism" where some articles are thinly disguised opinion pieces, Where language is carefully curated to push a point of view despite it looking like fact. This is partly why a lot of the Western world is now so divided.
    • I paid for a year subscription, starting in December, I think. I like the user-friendliness and assets like royalty-free music and sounds. But they need to fix some of the horrific bugs before they start adding more features. For starters, you should be able to drag stuff around the timeline without it completely obliterating transitions, synchronization timing, and clip lengths. If you already set up footage and audio how you want, and try to insert more by sliding content to the right, you'll have to clean it all up again. The scroll wheel constantly stops working, and you have to minimize the window and restore it to get it back. When selecting text at the top right in special text tools, it glitches and goes to "copy" mode with a weird pop-up on top of your cursor and you can't type. These are more important than AI tools and new features. Microsoft, start by making your product less painful to use.
    • 🙄 Whats the need to launder? Do you have any reputable sources?
    • Thanks, I'll download it and see how it goes. Gonna be tough. I've used Nova Launcher for around 10+ years I think.
    • Wikipedia has become hot molasses with mostly filth masquerading as truth. Most of it is the imagination of few writers who think of themselves as above god. The narrative setup is mind boggling.
