hi
I tried installing MSSql server 7.0 on Windows nt terminal server 4.0(sp5) . The installation tried to start SQL Server, couldn’t, and installation froze. I had to stop it with task manager, as the screen didn’t go away. The following was in theCnfgsvr.out file:
Starting Service …
An error occurred while attempting to start the service (1053)
SQL Server configuration failed.
The Errorlog file in the Install directory is completely blank.
The Services manager says SQL Server is “starting”, but hasn’t changed to “started”.
Sqlservr.exe is running as a process, and this is the output of the SqlStp.log file:
16:12:58 Begin Setup…

What’s wrong here?
