InstallSQLAgentSecurity

Trying to install MSDE2000 on a clean Win2000Pro laptop. Installing from the SqlRun01.Msi file. According to the log it fails at.....
>>
Loading extended custom action library sqlcax.dll
Starting custom action InstallSQLAgentSecurity
InstallSQLAgentSecurity failed (TEST_0001,LocalSystem,87). <<

I can find where MS says there is an error, and it is Error# 60005, but nothing else.

I need to know what the problem is and how to fix it...

HELP! Deadline approaches.Applies to Windows 2000 OS.
MSDE 2000

Error: MSDE2000 fails to install correctly.

To Verify: Press Start|Run. Type "msiexec /i" <the fully qualified name and location of the sqlrun01.msi file> "/L* c:\msi.log" Press OK. This will run the install and place a log file called msi.log on the c:\. Check the log file for the word "Fail". Log should indicate that InstallSQLAgentSecurity failed.

Problem: File and Print Sharing are not enabled.* You will know this is not enabled if you are missing the "Service" service in the Services applet in Administrative Tools or
Control Panel.

Solution: Install File and printer sharing.|||AIkerd - THANK YOU for posting the solution to this. I spent 3 frustrating hours today fighting with this. Whoda thunk? Turing on File and Print sharing solved it immediately.

Mike G|||I have already done the logging but I have print and file sharing enabled anything else that might cause this problem?

your help is much appreciated

...already over my deadline
