MSDE SQL Service Manager is not installed

I am installing MSDE from the SQL Server 2000 CD on a W2K
Pro environment. No errors in installation. There is no
service installed to start SQL Server. Any ideas?

actually, Service Manager should be present in the tray area...
can you please confirm, browsing the installed services in the control
panel->services applet that MSDE is properly installed?

MSDE setup errors - Act! 2005

My problem originates with trying to install Act! 2005.
This latest ver of Act! now requires MSDE 2000A. When the
program itself tries to install (along with MSDE in the
background), it hangs at the end, with Error 1603. Their
tech support suggested I try installing MSDE myself. That
install setup hung at the end, causing the error log
language below. Any suggestions on how to get MSDE to
follow thru on the setup?
I'm running WinXP Home. Full admin privs.

Hi Bill,
I'd suggest trying the verbose setup option and reading/posting the log file
produced.

|||I had problems installing MSDE too. You might want to make sure you
have file and printer sharing for MS networks turned on. It worked
for me after turning it on. I'm not sure why.

How do I make sure file and printer sharing are turned on. I'm on a

MSDE Reinstall

Have reinstalled MSDE using Command Prompt Installation and received Errors.
Then I proceeded with a Batch.file installation and that seemed to work for the most part.

This is what I used for the Batch.file

setup.exe SAPWD=somename INSTANCENAME=somename SECURITYMODE=SQL

The Problem I ran into is - I can't seem to get the (SQL SERVER SERVICE MANAGER) to connect. I've entered the server name & instancename but so far no luck.

Ive checked - Control Panel/Administive Tools/Services - to make sure that it was installed & Yes it is there. So I Proceeded to start it up. Next I tried to Connect Via SERVER MANGER with no luck.
Then I did a c:\>osql -E check with the Command Line Prompt which returned the following message:

[Shared Memory]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
[Shared Memory]ConnectionOpen <Connect<>>.

Tried again with c:\>osql -E -S
returned the same message.

[Shared Memory]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
[Shared Memory]ConnectionOpen <Connect<>>.

Not sure what to do at this point any help/advice. Thx/TIA

(MSDE Version: sql2kdesksp3)
OS = XP ProUpdate:

Finally Managed to Connect to (SERVICE MANAGER) So now I have Connection with my server. I had to Specify ServerName\Instancename - and finally managed to connect.

But I can't seem to make a Database Connection In webMatrix. I entered The (USERName & Password Name) with no luck, even tried different combinations but still no luck!! USERNAME:Someusername**** (and) PASSWORD:SomePassword****

Is there a way I can create a New USERNAME & PASSWORD, with the command Line Prompt?
Anyone know how to do this? THX /TIS

actually a

this all there is?
are you trying to install MSDE in Terminal Server application server mode?
