I needed to install SQL server 2000 on windows xp professional for developing asp .net web application using c# .net. i tried to install sql server 2000 enterprise edition. but it showed this message "Microsoft SQL server 2000 enterprise edition server component is not supported on this operating system, Only client component will be available for installation." I dont understand what i should do. I mean for now i just need SQL server to use developing asp .net web application. so would it be fine for asp .net appication if i install only client components of sql server 2000 enterprise edition? I read the previous forum with same problem. So would i really have to install that MSDE version of SQL server on windows xp porfessional or it would be good enough if i install only client components of SQL server 2000 enterprise edition? plz help me with this.

• sql server 2000 wont install

You do need the server components on your PC if you are planning on writing a database client app so you have to install a version of MS SQL that runs on XP.

i got it. thanks a lot man for giving your time to reply to my problem. i appreciate that.

But how to solve this problem exactly? HOw to add some server components? Anybody any hints? Thanks!

I've got the same message on windows 2000 pro. Do you know what can I do to resolve it ?

Ok I've got it. In fact you can't install sql server 2000 enterprise edition and standard edition on an operating system like XP or windows 2000 pro :knock: .

I'm pretty sure you want to test your application with some database. So you need the SQL server somewhere.

You could download the SQL server 2005 Express or the trial version from MS:
