hi
thanks for the quick reply
the server i am trying to install is SBS 2003(not 2003 standard edition) right after i start the installation i get the incompatibility error. it doesn't let me move forward with the installation and also doesn't tell me anything about service pack that needs to be installed.
could be that SAQ 2000 is not compatible with windows 2003 SBS? and only on 2003 standard edition?

The official requirements page can be found here:

   http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa176565%28v=sql.80%29.aspx

It lists a few versions of Windows Server 2003 but unfortunately SBS is not among them.
