Installing MSDE SA password error.

I've been trying to install MSDE so i could run ASP.Net Forums. But whenever i run the setup.exe file, it gives me a pop up message with the following message:

"A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same. Refer to the readme for more details. Set up will now Exit."

Could any body please tell me what to do??...

Yes. I'm stupid. And please excuse my ignoracne.Go to run and type the following replace path and password optionally you can specify authentication mode (default is windows) SECURITYMODE=SQL.

f:\sql2ksp3\MSDE\setup.exe sapwd="password"

Hope this helps

installed BOL februari 2007 - now am presented in help with popup choice of 2 on every link

Hi,

I've installed the new version of BOL feb 2007. Now whenever I click on a link in the books online I get presented a popup with 2 times the same message.

I presume one links to the new bol, while the other links to the help in my msdn that is installed together with VS2005.

Now how am I supposed to know which link in the popup directs me to the most recent version of BOL?

e.g.

I am working on a SSIS package project in VS2005. In the help menu I select 'How do I...'

Then the help window opens with

How do I

In this Section

SQL server Database services (How do i)

....

when I click on SQL server Database services (How do i)' , a popup comes up with the same text repeated twice.

The first popup choice links to

ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.VSIPCC.v80/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/sqlovr9/html/de98c42a-a6eb-4842-927c-e766cb4d5ada.htm

the second popup choice links to

ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.SQL.v2005.en/sqlovr9/html/de98c42a-a6eb-4842-927c-e766cb4d5ada.htm

As I am not a rocket scientist, I cannot see which one is the most recent BOL.

Which one is the most recent BOL?

Can I not get rid of the old version?

tnx

See if you have Books Online installed twice - the best thing to do is to go to the Setup CD and remove them both, and just install the latest.|||

Before I posted my question I've already had a look in the control panel - Add:remove programs to see if the BOL was installed twice. I only see one installation Microsoft SQl server 2005 Books Online (English)(February 2007).

As I've remarked in my first post, I think the links are

1) to the MSDN documentation from visual studio

2) to the BOL feb 2007

I cannot afford to uninstall Visual Studio 2005.

|||Ah - I think I've seen this before. When you have both VS and SQL Server installed, I've seen the help get a little confused, since the help facility is shared but not exactly the same. I'd recommend posting this same question in the Installation forum - I think I saw an answer there once.|||

Some collegues of mine here have given me the following suggestion for you:

The best solution is to uninstall the (older) version of Yukon Books Online that ships in the MSDN Library. To uninstall this version, go to Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, click Change/Remove, click Modify, click Custom, unselect "Microsoft SQL Server" under "Enterprise Servers and Development" in the feature tree, and complete the wizard.

By the way, this is documented in the Books Online topic "Adding and Removing Help Collections".

Installation of SQL Server 2000 Evaluation Edition

Help?
Whenever I try to install this edition on an XP operating
system. It states that there already an instance of sql
running. Also, I checked for known virues and worms, no
of which I have. However, I did see something regarding
the w32.slammer worm, which I couldn't install because
you first have to have sql server 2000 on your system. I
really need to get this software installed. Does anyone
know what I can do?Checkout this article:
