I am trying to install MSDE 2.8 on this OS. When I try to install, I receive the following error: Fatal error setup This setup does not support installing on this operating system
Any ideas?
Are you talking about MSDE (The Database Engine) or MDAC 2.8. MSDE normally matches the version number of the sql server version it was released under. In the case of SQL Server 2005 it is now called SQL Server Express.
|||Sorry, I am trying to install MDAC 2.8|||I would check the version that is installed but from memory MDAC 2.8 is installed with sp 1 for windows server 2003.
"The easiest way to determine the version of MDAC is to right click on C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado\msado15.dll, select Properties, and then consult the Version information. The version information has the same format as that of the FullInstallVer value -- x.xx.yyyy.y, where x.xx is the version number.
An alternative way to determine the version of MDAC you’re using is to consult the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataAccess registry key. The FullInstallVer key provides a value of the form x.xx.yyyy.y, where x.xx is the version number (e.g., if the FullInstallVer value were 2.70.7713.0, it would mean that MDAC 2.7 is installed on the system)."
