Fresh SQL 2000 to SP4 gives error

Hi,

I'm trying to Service Pack 4 a fresh installation of SQL 2000 (a named instance called 'SQLSERVER2000') and get the error "Installation of the Microsoft Full-Text Search Engine package failed. (-2147467259) 0x80004005 Unspecified Error" towards the end of the process thus I cannot service Pack my fresh installation of SQL 2000. I have done this many times before on other machines, but its not working for me this time.

At http://www.dbforums.com/ ( http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?t=1198047 ) someone ran into this problem and mentioned to re-install Microsoft Full-Text Search. I have followed the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827449 but run into problems at step 2C. At step 2C it says to start the Microsoft Search service via the Services console, but Microsoft Search was nowhere to be found.

Going back a step to Step 2B it says that all registry keys that were previously-deleted are now available and the previously-deleted 'MSSearch' folder is recreated. I took a look, but both the keys and folder WERE NOT there.

It is a fresh OS installation of MS Windows 2003 Standard SP1, 768MB RAM and is running fine.

Can you please point me in the right direction here?

Brad.

Am experiencing the same problem. Have you come across a solution yet?|||Try this link:
