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

Installing Visual Web Dev. 2005 Express: Must uninstall ANY previous versions of SQL Server

Hello,
According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vwd/download/, I have to uninstall any and all versions of SQL before I attempt to install the VWD 2005 express edition. is there a work around this? I currently have SQL 2000 installed for my work; a must have for me, I can't just uninstall it.
(yes I left a similar question in the Visual forums, but haven't received any replies as of yet..just fishing for an answer here)
thanks so much, looking forward to giving VWD a test drive.

That warning was intended to have users remove any and all previous Betas of SQL Server 2005 prior to installing VWD Express.

It's okay to have MSDE or SQL 2000 on your box, or even to have SQL Server 2005 on your box. But if you have any of the SQL Server 2005 Betas or CTP installs, please remove them first.
