Machine hangs while installing Desktop Edition

[mnongkhlaw]

I tried several times to install the Desktop Edition of SQL Server 7 on my PC ( a Win98 m/c), but it always hangs at the point where it says "Connecting to Server...". The log file is given below in case it will help :-

No solution, a couple of comments, by default when sql server is installed its name is the same as the machine. This line in the log may give a clue


2003-08-09 10:43:54.71 spid1 Server is unnamed.

I would expect it to say Server name is '??????'

Thanks. Yes, I've noted that. But how can I resolve it?
