You Can't Install SQL Server 2000 Standard On XP Pro Either.
You Must Use SQL Server 2000 Desktop (Personal) Edition

I have tried running the setup with the Windows2000 compatibility set, and it is requesting SP2. Also tried using NT4.0, and error states that it should be SP6A or greater. Anymore help on this would be greatly appreciated.
