In reply to George 2 's post on February 20, In reply to tompf31's post on February 21, May be I've misread or misunderstood something - if so just ignore ;- PS - The trouble with these sort of queries is, unless you can find a test of the PC and the games on the www somewhere, or unless someone has the PC and preferably has tried the games I haven't either its hard to be certain.
In reply to George 2 's post on February 21, In reply to tompf31's post on February 22, I suggest you check which it requires. All answers and suggestions are provided by an enthusiastic amateur and are therefore without warranty either explicit or implicit. Basically you use my suggestions at your own risk. Without seeing any error message you maybe receiving, I suspect you are trying to install the bit version of SQL Server on your bit OS.
This is not supported. When you install bit Windows on bit x64 hardware, for all intents and purposes you're bit. In order to install the bit x64 version of SQL Server you need to be running a bit x64 version of Windows though you can install the bit version on a bit OS.
When you install Enterprise Edition on a client OS ie. Windows XP you will not be able to install the Server components. Server components require a Server OS. This is the reason you are only given the option of installing "Tools, Books Online, and Samples".
Fortunately this has nothing to do with your hardware setup, but rather a limitation of the Operating System you have installed. I believe you can install most Server components from the Developer Edition. Some components such as Service Broker will not install as they require the kernal level HTTP listener, which isn't available in Windows XP, but then again this doesn't help you unless you have access to the Developer Edition.
I believe you can download or purchase an Evaulation Edition of Windows Server which you could install on your system, either as a seperate partitioned install or by installing in a Virtual Client environment, which you should have no problems running given your specific hardware setup. As for an error message, I'm not getting any error message at all I just am not getting the option to install the server itself, only the client and connectivity tools.
Am I doing something wrong? I don't see an option to try to install a 32 or 64 bit version. Thanks a lot for the timely and detailed response. This really helps. That's probably a better place for it anyway. If setup is launched from the Servers folder you can install everything. I just re-read your original post and saw you mentioned you inserted your Eval DVD and was only given the option of installing Tools. I'm not sure what was goign on there, but if you manually launched Setup from the Servers folder on the DVD you should have been able to install everything.
