I have a client server application and it is running in the following configuration: SERVER A: MS Server2003 with MS SQL2000, Our ERP application software is installed on this server as is MS SQL200.

Server B: is our e-commerce server and it is running MS Windows2000 server OS and no MS SQL. The e-commerce application is pointed to the active SQL server on server A. I am trying to run a software version upgrade on on software application (which was successfully run on server A) When we try to run this upgrade on server B we get a message: " Setup is unable to start MS SQL Server Services, please start and try again"

I do not understand what is going on with this. SQL & SQL Service Agent is running on Server A. Any suggestions as to what I need to do?

Call your software vendor, they seem to think that your SQL Server should be local to your application. Either that or you need to tell the upgrade where to find the SQL Server, maybe in an .ini file?!?
