setup problem

[ole111]

Hi all

I am trying to install SQL server 2005.
I was able to install SQL client but not the server.
While installing i reach the stage wher components to install are shown. I believe I need the first one 'SQL Server Database Services' but the setup wizard does not allow me to check it.
Actually the wizard does not allow me to check anything except the last one 'Workstation components, Books Online and development tools'
When testing the software/hardware requirements i had two warnings, but i was not able to figure out what are the problems. Looking at the website I did not find any problems with my software/hardware.

Any ideas how to proceed?
thanks alot

It sounds like you are installing the wrong version of SQL for the OS you have installed on your server.
This link will provide you with SQL supported OS.
