Database: Microsoft: SQL server: Install: How install Microsoft SQL 
server v2000?

---

Steps: Overview:

 1. -I used the evaluation version Microsoft SQL server v2000

 2. -To unzip the installation program, run the program

      SQLeval.exe

 3. -This will open a window 'Installation folder'

 4. -Accept the default

      c:\sqleval

     or browse to another folder

 5. -click button 'Finish'

 6. -Possibly let this folder be created

 7. -You will see now

      Reading package...

 8. -When finished you will see a message box
     'PackageForTheWeb', showing:
     'The package has been delivered successfully'

 9. -You can then e.g. start the setup program by
     typing in a run or msdos box:

      c:\sqleval\setup.bat

10. -That will launch the setup program

11. -You will for a (very long) while not see anything happening,
     but the setup program is running in the background.

12. -Then you will see a windows showing
     'Welcome to the Microsoft SQL server installation wizard'

13. -Choose which computer to install to (local or remote).
     I chose 'local'

14. -I chose 'install a new instance'

15. -Supply name + company

16. -Possibly accept the conditions

17. -Accepted default 'Client and server tools'

18. -Accepted 'Default' checked

19. -Accepted 'Typical' installation

20. -I chose 'local account'

21. -I chose 'Windows authentication'

22. -The installation starts...

23. -You will see:

      Microsoft is installing Microsoft Data Access Components...
      (MDAC)

24. -click button 'Finish' after a while

25. -If you then browse in 'Start'->'All programs', you can
     then e.g. send 'Enterprise manager' to the desktop as
     a shortcut. Clicking on it will start the main module
     in Microsoft SQL Server.
