Installing SLQ Server 2000 Enterprise Edition

[itatlantic]

Dear all,

This is the first time using this forum, I hope I can get some help.

I have started studying SLQ Server 2000 at home as I have a Video Tutorial but I thought I need to install SLQ Server 2000 to follow the training. I have been trying to instal SLQ Server 2000 Enterprise Edition on both Windows XP Pro Pack2 and Windows 2000 but I get this message saying "Microsoft SQL server 2000 enterprise edition server component is not supported on this operating system only client component will be available for installation"

I do not know anything about SQL and I thought I must have been doing something wrong in the installation process otherwise it would not give me the same warning on both operating systems.

I do not know what is it I do wrong and I would appreciate your help and assistance.

Thank you

You must have Windows 2003 Server operation system (or other server system operation) to install SQL Server 2000. If you need to learn SQL language only, you can use SQL Server 2005 Express Edition which can be installed on XP.
