Installing MSDE for Visual Basic.NET and Net Framework examples

[Guest]

I am trying to install MSDE 2000 for the .NET framework SDK Quickstart
tutorials on Windows XP Pro. I type in the setup command from the MS command
prompt and the installation rolls back and fails. No error message is given
except the failure message box.

The command I am using is

Setup.exe /qb+ INSTANCENAME=NetSDK DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 SAPWD=admin

Hi Carey,

I am trying to install release A from the same link.

I have already downloaded release A and extracted it to the default
directory which is MSDERelA.

I am then running the setup command from an ms command prompt in the above
directory as indicated to me by a microsoft article from MSDN > .NET
Framework home > Downloads titled Using MSDE 2000 with the .NET framework SDK
Quickstart tutorials.

In fact all I would like to do is get MSDE fully installed so I may use
ADO.NET on it.

Thanks
Andy
