Nodsu said: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.
MacGyver said:Got it. After replacing the .ins File with the one provided with the developer version the setup continued with the installation.
It did not affect versioning of the SQL Server. The Infobox said, I installed the enterprise version. I don't know if this is legal (suppose it is not), but it worked 4 me.
I think it doesn't matter too much if you install it this way for testing purposes.
In real production environments you'd surely prefer to install on a server, because Windows XP is limited in RAM, Number of CPUs, does not provide clustering services and has none of the fancy server features, a good old Windows Server 2003 can provide.
PeaceOut said: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,

crxpert said: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
Crxpert
