Thanks for the info.

As for the question about pending installation;
If the installation of SQL Server fails due to the machine not being rebooted between the installations of various products, delete the registry entry item ‘PendingFileRenameOperations’ from the registry location ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager’ and all subsequent ControlSets child key ‘Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations’ (ControlSet1, ControlSet2 etc.)

You might want to ensure that you're running the install program "as an administrator". I wish I could be of more help, but there are quite a few resources out there. Have a look at this link.

It turns out that because Office 2007 was preinstalled with SQL Server 2005 Express edition, this confuses the SQL 2000 setup.

I can't reinstall Vista because it came preinstalled on my laptop, so I'm forced to use SQL Server 2008 Express edition, which is a real pain.

How did you get the install program to run? Mine keeps telling me that I have to reboot to finish off another installation.

I have rebooted several times and the message doesn't change

Thanks - I just upgraded to Vista and forgot to detach my SQL 2000 databases but, thanks to your blog, I can now access them under Vista!
