i am trying to install developer edition 2000 on xp, but after clicking the autorun file nothing happens, though two processes appear in windows task manager, these are
1) sqlstp.exe
2) setupsql.exe
but both are using '0%' cpu use and taking some memory. i tried so many things..really fade up.
guys plzzz plzz help. waiting impatiently.

Have you tried to get the .exe files to install from a command prompt? Maybe the autorun file is corrupt.

yes i have tried that too. and autorun file is not corrupt because i have installed it previously (i have recently formatted my pc ). i found this query on google too but solution is not there.
