I'm trying to install SQL Server 2000 Desktop Edition on a Compaq Presario Laptop running Windows 2000 Professional. The installation fails at the very end. I can see the failure in the log file:
Starting custom action InstallSQLAgentSecurity
InstallSQLAgentSecurity failed (LARRY,LocalSystem,203).
Action ended 21:46:04: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
A quick search of the MSDN site returned only one hit on InstallSQLAgentSecurity, which turned out to be just a table of error codes. I found a couple other suggestions via a Google search (make sure the Server service is running, and check the version of sqlboot.dll) but neither addressed my problem.
Does anyone know what this error means, and, more importantly, how to troubleshoot/fix the problem?
