Hi,

I am trying to install MSDE for the first time, without too much success. When I run the below command, I get a blue Windows 2000 Setup screen, with a Usage box in the middle, giving me a list of the various switches that can be used during setup. I then click ok, and it goes back to my DOS window, with nothing happening!

setup sapwd="mypwd" DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 securitymode=sql DATADIR="E:\DBA\Data" TARGETDIR="E:\DBA\Install"

Does anyone know what is happening here? Am I missing a step somewhere?


John
