sql server 2000 wont install....

Hi, I'm trying to get hold of the same setup.ins files so I can run sql server 2000 enterpirse ed. on windows xp. Any ideas??

didn't work for me

I'm a developer w/ MSDN subscription. I need to install sql server standard on a laptop, actually a tablet pc -- i'm working on queued transactional replication (for laptop synchronization).

I just can't install a server OS here loose the tablet functionality. Tablets run a special edition XP Pro.

Sir MacGyver,

Can u pls help me out on this; I'm installing SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2000 Server
5.00.2195 with Service Pack 4. I encountered this error:

An error occured while creating one or more registry entries. Please see C:\WINNT\\\sqlstp.log for details. The problem could be caused by a low registry qouta condition.

tnx in advance!

Well, how about doing what the error message said and looking in the log file?

I did look in the log file, unfortunately it does not contain any helpful details for me figure out what's causing the error. Here's the part of the log file where the error is indicated:

Anyone, pls. help....
TNX!

OK. You are an administrator while doing this, right? There is also a limit to the size of Windows registry. Check that you haven't filled that - the setting is next to pagefile size in system properties.

TNX NODSU, Unfortunately I'm still getting the same error. Yes, I'm using the Administrator account, and I've already tried to check and increase the Windows Registry size (even the paging file memory) but no luck.

I look up in the net and I actually found a post of the same error: Low Registry quota condition. The suggested solution was to uninstall first the ff:

.Net framework
.Net SDK
ASP Web Matrix

Problem is I have not installed these things yet.

Anymore suggestion?

Hi guys.

I was wondering. Does this even work? I tried it with the setup.ins from demo and it doesn't work. Anyone else get this to work? Or maybe the developers edition's setup.ins would work and if so where to get a copy of that.

Thanks,
Lawrence

anyone?

Fix To SQL Server Registry Low Quota For Win XP Pro

Hi,

This is a fix which worked for me, I installed SQL Server
before on the same machine without any problem, I don't
know why this happened the second time.

To Solve : "An error occurred while creating one or more registry entries. Please see C:\WINNT\\\sqlstp.log for details. The problem could be caused by a low registry quota condition" - Sql Server 2000 Installation Error Message

Follow these 3 Steps:
1. Run Regedit (start, run and type regedit)
2. Go to the Edit Menu -> Find and type .Col (This will bring you straight to the key)
3. Right Click on the .Col Key, select Permission, select the User and Check Full Control.

This should do, if it doesn't work for you I'm very sorry.

Hope this post help someone.

P.S: This is my first post

Good Luck

are you installing the enterprise edition on your winxp pro? or the deveolpers edition?

I used the SQL Server 2000 120 Evaluation Edition Version 8.00.194, i don't know if its the Develper or Enterprise Edition. I guess its either Standard or Personal

the evaluation edition will install on winxp with no problem...the enterprise edition on the other hand won't install on winxp machine...thanks for the info

...could be caused by a low registry quota condition

Thanks crxpert,

been having exactly that problem. Tried your fix and it worked like a charm. Appreciate it
