trying to install on Win NT4 server SP6
cfgsrvr failing with nothing in logs to show why
Any suggestions?

it sounds like the service is disabled for this hardware profile. not sure
how it happens but I've seen it before. run setup and let cnfgsvr fail.
when the messagebox is popped to go to control panel - services - highlight
mssqlserver - click the HW Profiles button - it will probably show Disabled
instead of Enabled.

Bruce,

C:\>net helpmsg 1058

The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has
no enabled devices associated with it.

2140 is pretty much just a generic error indicating probably SQL will not
start as a service. Event log, mssql7\log\ERRORLOG, try starting from
command line versus starting as a service, to take steps to diagnos why
server won't start.
