Hi
As i posted earlier,i got baffled with the installation issue.I have tried my installation in two machines,with all reqd configuration.
In my first machine,win2k3 sp1 with SQL2k SP4,the files are extracted properly and in the configuration wizard i got an error that,
Failed To Start database service MSSQL$Microsoft##SSEE.Repair this product by selecting it from theAdd/RemovePrograms menu
During my another server installation with same config i got an error,
The description for Event ID ( 3454 ) in Source ( MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: msdb, 4
Then i repaired and reinstalled the product.....Even then i got struck up by the following error while running configuration wizard.
Task services has failed with an unknown
exception
01/24/2007 19:36:16 13 ERR
Exception: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException:
Cannot open database "WSS_Search_SERVER
requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'SERVER\Administrator'.
One thing Iam sure that the problem is with internaldatabase.Coz when i use Advanced installation in server farm, i am able to install in both my servers,Simillarly when i use wss2.0 Iam able to install.
Guys plz help me im messing with these for past 2 weeks......
Feel free to mail me sarvann03@hotmail.com
SHAREPOINT INSTALLATION ISSUE

sarashare,
If you already have SQL 2000 SP4, you can use that instead of using SQL Express. To do that, install in 'Advanced' mode instead of the 'basic' mode and select 'Application Server'. Then, the configuration wizard will ask you for details about the SQL Server to connect to.
You can refer to the instructions on TechNet (such as http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/WSS/en/library/1f505e96-60e2-41ac-bf5d-9739105f047c1033.mspx mfr=true) for details.
Thanks,

I've battled this problem for the last couple days trying to install WSS 3.0 on a server joined to a domain. The only thing different from my earlier testing with WSS 3.0 was the server was not joined to the domain. The only clear thing in all the articles I've read is that the domain stopped access to the internal database. The work around provided have been a hodgepodge of things that don't really work. So this is what I did, AND IT DOES WORK.
1. Removed system from corp domain, and placed is “TEST” workgroup
2. Rebooted as required.
3. Installed .NET Framework and Workflow Foundation (had de-installed earlier)
4. Installed WWS 3
5. When WWS 3 installed completed, let it run the config wizard – NOW THE SYSTEM WORKS.
6. Ran WWS Control Panel – IT WORKED since the config had worked and completed
7. Ran WWS (the site in browser) - it worked.
8. Joined DOMAIN and rebooted
9. Ran WWS Control Panel – it worked
10. Ran browser for the WSS site – worked
11. Ran browser on remote system for IP address – WSS site came up.
This seems to be the only easy way and not convoluted way to make the install work. Hope this saves other a lot of time and trouble shooting.

Hi,
Did you install sharepoint with or without the SQL Express edition It could be a problem when installing SQL Express edition 2005 next to SQL2000 SP4. You can probably install WSS 2.0 becasue that is using the 2000 engine to run.
