MS has been recommending using the Virtual Server app for loading new environments within. That may be because there may be some hostility between older products? In the last few MS product releases they have been giving away full featured unlimited Virtual Server CDs. It might be worth installing the product seeing you already have a clean install.

I hate to bi*ch <cough> -- but I have just had enough of MS. Anyone working with the Express beta knows that it's a pia to install -- and I'm not the only one that's had problems. Well, to install Management Studio, I had to reformat and start over fresh. <fume> I need to download and install VB Express -- and GUESS WHAT??????????? I have to uninstall everything first! What made me think that it would just be an easy process??????? I am so sick of this I am ready to tell them all thank you just the same, but I'll use Oracle from now on. I truly am. Anyone else as sick of this as I am? I mean, there's a whole list of things you have to uninstall and reinstall -- and if you're reinstaller number one million four hundred thousand and sixty three, well... they let you slide and it all works. :( Twice during the beta process I've had to reformat and start over because there was something that Express didn't like. :( If I have to reformat and start over again I'm going to catch a plane to Redmon and kick some MS butt! :( Susan H. _______________________________________________ dba-SQLServer mailing list dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-sqlserver http://www.databaseadvisors.com
