Problems with installing SQL Server 2000

I am trying to install SQL Server 2000 from the MSDN DVDs on Windows Server 2003 Web Edition.

When I click on Install Database Server, the "Created with Demoshield" box comes up and then disappears. Nothing else happens. I have also tried to install by running from ENT\x86\SETUP\SETUPSQL.EXE. This gives me a message saying "Windows cannot open this program since it has been disabled".

I tried a Google search for that error message, and found two results, this at http://dbforums.com/arch/4/2003/9/925380 :

"hi,

Try installing as an administrator."

I am trying to install as an administrator.

The other was in German, but was only a list of error codes anyway.

Does anyone know how I can get this to work? I am supposed to have IIS6 up and running before my boss gets back on Monday, and I can't even get SQL installed, which is a prerequisite for IIS.

ANY help would be greatly appreciated.You are going to need Standard or Enterprise version of Windows 2003 Server... Web Edition is exactly that, a stripped down version for web server use, not for application server use (such as SQL Server)

http://www.microsoft.com/sql/evaluation/sysreqs/2000/default.asp

only thing you can run on the Web Edition is MSDE

also... SQL Server shouldn't be a prerequisite for IIS... unless you have an application that requires IIS AND SQL Server, it is not a requirement for IIS alone|||Thanks, I will do that.
