I can not install sqlsrvr 2000 on my laptop. I uninstalled the previous instance but couldnt install the new one. every time i run the autorun.exe, it displays the initial screen, then i select components and server 2000 to install but then it disappears and doesnt display the welcome screen. Task manager shows two processes running: sqlsetup and setupsql something, but no effect. I waited long for many times but of no use. This setup works quite fine on other PCs. Any suggestions!

Ah .. .you have SQL 2005 installed and you NOW want to install SQL 2000?

If so I'm pretty sure I have read that for a dual-SQL-server machine then SQL 2000 has to be installed first. I could be wrong though ...
