SQL 2000 won't install on SBS 2003
I am working on a SBS 2003 premium server. SQL 2000 was installed by a previous tech. We wanted to uninstall SQL and reinstall. After uninstalling and rebooting, the setup for SQL will not run. The splash screen will appear as well as the progress bar, but it doesn't move. I can see the sqlsetup.exe in the task manager, but it does nothing. After 5 - 10 minutes, it will just quit. Splash screen and progress bar disappear. Went thru the registry and got rid of all the MSSQL entries, but it did not help.
are u installing from the original sbs 2003 media? is it the same version of sql as the original install?

I would like to ask an additional question for clarification.
I have SBS Standard and am trying to get a BlackBerry to work with the Exchange mail.
I am told that I need to install a named instance of SQL 2000 or SQL 2005.
Does SQL 2000 only come with SBS Premium and not with SBS Standard? I have been unable to find SQL 2000 on my SBS Standard disks. Will I need to purchase a copy of SQL 2000 or 2005?

why not go into control panel -> add remove -> windows components and find the SQL Server options. Install that way?
