I am trying the SQL 7 STANDARD installation on WIN`98. However, it creates the directory structure on the hard-disk alonwith files but on connecting to server it comes out with a VC++ assertion failed message.

The TCP/IP sockets are being used and the TCP/IP port (local ping) is working fine. Windows 98 was installed again and there are no prequisites for SQL 7 on 98 but the problem persists !

Anyone who has installed it on WIN`98 ?

TIA
