Problems installing SQLServer 2000 Developer Edition on Windows XP Pro

Hello!

When trying to install SqlServer 2000 Developer (as Administrator) on my
Windows XP Professional I get the following message at the point where
the system asks Local Account or Domain account:

The logon account cannot be validated for the SQL server service. Verify
that the user name and password entered are correct. The logon attempt
failed.

Anyone an idea what goes wrong here?

Thanks for your info.

Daniel

Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!Make sure that the account you are providing has the "log on as
service" rights to local machine. After you verified that you didn't
make a typo entering the login. :-)
