Installation

[Sridhar Raman]

Hi,
I am having pentium 3 with windows 98 I had Sql Server 7 installed But due to some problem i uninstalled it.
I am having difficulty in reinstalling the same i uninstalled completely and even removed entries in registry and tried to install But i am getting the same error always.

1)Acmsetup failed
2)setup failed to configure the server Refer to the server error logs and cnfgsvr,out for more information
There is nothing in server error logs

cnfgsvr.out file looks like this
Starting Service ...

An error occurred while attempting to start the service (1460)

SQL Server configuration failed.

What is ACMSETUP what it does how i can prevent its failure is the failure of ACMSETUP a reason for sqlserver set up failure

I appreciate ur replies

remove the physical files from the win98 workstation.
remove all the tasks from the task manage except "Explorer"
Install SQL Server desktop on it.
Remove the entries of MSSQLServer from the registry. "Regedit"



Good luck.
