I am having a problem with installation of the Microsoft
SQL Server Desktop database software on a notebook with
Windows98 installed. The pre-requisites only require that
IE 4.01 be installed with SP1 applied. The notebook has
IE version 4.72 with SP1 applied.

During the install, the program displays a message stating
"Connecting to Server". The program does not continue but
hangs at this phase of the install program.

Does anyone have any experience in installing the desktop
version?

Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
