Hi, though i've been using sql server 2000 developer edition for awhile, I guess i overlooked the fact that the full-text search tool was never installed and i never needed it until now. Anyway, tried installing it today and get this error:

Installation of Microsoft Full-Text Search Engine Package Failed (-2147220991) 0x80040201
An event was unable to invoke any of the subsribers

I have no idea what this means - can you help me to get this installed correctly? I did just install service pack 4, and i tried reinstalling the components, tried rebuilding the registery of the current instance, and even tried creating a new instance with hopes that the new instance would install the full-text component - which it did not.

Any suggestions? Maybe I have to unistall the entire Software and reinstall it? Would I lose any of my data in doing this? I should note that all other tools seem to function fine.

Thanks ahead!

Dan

I've inherited a machine that has the original developer's edition of SQL server on it. I've now tried to apply SP3 and SP4. According to what I've read I should be able to skip sp's since they are cumulative according to MS.

But in each case, I run into the same error Dan gets *exactly*. I get

Installation of Microsoft Full-Text Search Engine Package Failed (-2147220991) 0x80040201
An event was unable to invoke any of the subsribers

I've googled and googled but I don't find anything that seems to address this particular failure mode.

Any ideas?
