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.

Freetexttable Not Finding Inflectional Forms

We're using SQL Server 2005 service pack 1. It was my understanding that
FreeTextTable automatically includes inflectional forms. We're not able to
get any inflectional forms of words during the search (even if we use
Contains with the special syntax). Are we missing something in the server
configuration? Or is there a bug somewhere?
Thanks,
Krip
Are you wrapping your freetext search in double quotes - this disables the
stemming (inflectional search)?

Nope, not wrapping with double quotes. Here's the clause:
INNER JOIN FreeTextTable(myTable, myField, 'tests') as FTT
I have 'test' in the data but 'tests' doesn't find it. That's just one
example (fox works but not foxes; landed works but not landing).
The following doesn't work either:
SELECT *
FROM myTable
WHERE CONTAINS(*, 'FORMSOF (INFLECTIONAL, foxes)')
Also, I've now installed SP2 and rebuilt the catalag - same issue.
Is there some place to enable inflectional forms? Or is there a dictionary
to populate?
Thanks,
Krip

free distribution of "Database Engine"

Hi:

I'm an asp.net programmer and my database is in access format.
My server is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 1.
I do not need microsoft access installed on my server to access my database through asp.net.

I want migrate my database to sql server 2005

Could I access my database in sql server 2005 format (mdf) through asp.net without sql server 2005 installed on the server?

could I buy to microsoft only "Database Engine"? or
Is there a free distribution of "Database Engine"?

Thanks!!

There is a free version of SQL Server 2005, SQL Server Express..

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/

The data does need to be on some machine somewhere with SQL Server installed.

Hi,

You do not need Access installed on the server, only the runtime (which I think ships with Windows these days, at the very worst the runtime is freely distributable if you have VSTO). You should take a look at SQL Server 2005 Express edition (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/). Free, and as easy (or easier) to use as Access.

Hope this helps.
