    I have been trying to install SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition on a PC (pentium 4 ) on the network. I keep getting the error:

    "Installation of Microsoft Data Access Components package failed (-1). Please help. What am I doing wrong .

    Hi,

    are you sure you have the appropriate rights to install on the network?

    I remember having these problems. To install mdac you must be least local admin I think.

    Cheers,

    Frank

    Thanks for replying. I am actually installing it as Administrator on the local machine. So yes I do have the correct priviledges.

    You say you are installing SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition and in other post you stated you are installing it on a Windows 2000 box. Standard Edition MUST be installed on a Server (Windows 2000 Server or Advanced Server). Only the Personal Edition or Developer Edition will install on a non-Server platform.

    Try to download MDAC 2.6 SP2 from Microsoft and install it first, review dasetup.log in C:\WINNT for successful and then install SQL Server.
