you need these shared components, update them manually after the

wizard has completed. The components will then be registered on the

node.

NOTE: Instead of installing hotfix 2153, we recommend that you install

SP2, which includes the fixes in Hotfix 2153.

Service Pack and Hotfix Names

The installation procedure expects the names of SQL Server service packs

and hotfixes to follow the standardized naming schema defined in the

following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822499

The installation will fail if the name of a service pack or hotfix has been

changed and it no longer matches the schema.

Use of a Hidden Administrative Share

During its initialization phase, the SQL Server 2005 setup program uses a

hidden administrative share as the location for a tempfolder. If the setup

program attempts to place the tempfolder on a PSFS volume where the

hidden administrative share is not yet created by LAN Manager, the

setup will fail. To work around this problem, use the following command

to create an administrative share on the PSFS volume. In the command,

s:\ is the PSFS volume.

net share s$=s:\ /grant:builtin\administrators,full

SQL Server 2000 Service Pack Considerations

This procedure can be used to install SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3 and

higher. Service Pack 4 is required.

NOTE: If Service Pack 3 is not already installed, an unattended

installation of Service Pack 4 will fail. You will need to first install

Service Pack 3 and then install Service Pack 4. This is a known

Microsoft issue.
