Hi
Trying to install Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 on Win XP machine.
MSDE 2000 Sp3 already installed on D: drive, instance name= db1
In enterprise manager the db appears as ABC-111\DB1
ABC-111 is the name of the machine
I am using mixed authentication mode.
After reading the help I came up with this to install sp4:
--
setup /upgradesp sqlrun instancename="db1" securitymode=sql upgradeuser=sa
upgradepwd=sapw /L*v C:\MSDELog.log
--
I have also tried having instancename="ABC-111\DB1" but always the same error:
This product is not installed. Check is a appropriate instance of MSDE is
installed.

Now, note that the MSDE is installed here on my machine:
D:\Program Files\MSDE\MSSQL$DB1
Could that possible affect this?
I noticed when I looked in the registry that I did not find what the readme
file described, still, the database has been running smoothly for months...

Any hints somebody?
