trying to install sql server on Win 2000 Advanced Server

[ahituna]

Hi,
I am trying to install SQL server 7.0 onto a Windows 2000 Advanced Server box. I get past the licensing questions and the files begin to copy, when all of a sudden I get an error message stating that a file (sqlagent.exe) cannot be found on the E drive (CD-ROM - off of which I am installing). Weird much?

Has anyone encountered this problem? Thanks in advance for your help....

exact error message reads....

"Cannot read specified file. This is most likely caused by a poor network connection. Correct the problem and restart setup.

File: E:\X86\SETUP\..\Binn\sqlsui.dll"

this is happening for multiple files.....also I am installing locally, not over the network.

OK SO................

Apparently there was food on the install cd, therefore the files could not be read.....dontcha hate it when that happens?

DUH!

Thanks Anyways
