I have a need to become familiar with SQL Server 2000 for work.
Needless to say I am new to SQL Server any version, but not IT in
general. My employer has provided me with the SQL Server 2000
Personal disk from the SQL Server 2000 Enterprise kit as this is
reported here on the MSDN web site to be the version that is supported
on Windows XP. In fact so many of you kind people confess to having
succeeded in doing it.

I have tried several installs using various custom component
combinations as well as the default "typical" install.

All start of trying to install the MDAC component, then after several
minutes display a dialog with the following text:

"The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing
to verify its compatibility with Windows XP. The software will not be
installed. Contact your system administrator"

Before anyone asks, yes I am logged on as the administrator of the
Windows XP machine.

The setup program then displays a dialog with the following text:

"Installation of the Microsoft Data Access Components package failed.
(-1)"

Setup then shuts down and the PC needs to be restarted before the SQL
Server setup can be run again.

For the techos that might have an insight, I have included details
from the following logs below. SQL.MIF, SQLSTP.LOG, DASETUP.LOG
SETUPAPI.LOG.

Any ideas will be appreciated. Thank you.

Only the log files follow from here.
