by We have 3 pentium II 450 boxes running 128MB memory, 10GB to 13GB HD
available and no network card. Currently only have NetBEUI and TCP/IP
protocols installed. These systems are all running Windows 98.
Whenever we attempt to install SQL Server 7 Desktop on our Windows 98
systems it goes through the install and then says "Connecting to Server..."
forever.
We have tried to run custom install first and install all of the other
components but the server database component. Then have gone into Client
network utility and set default library to TCP/IP and then install the
database component. We get the same thing to happen on each system.
Anyone know of the work around for this? I have listed the contents of my
errorlog, cnfgsvr.out and sqlstp.log files below. Have attempted multiple
installs with the same result.
Any help would be appreciated.
