Can't MS SQL Server 2000 Client/Server

codeecradle · Post by **codeecradle** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 4:20 am

Hi to all!

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 with Wine 1.1.0 installed.
I am trying to install MS SQL Server 2000 Client on the machine in order to connect to a Windows Server Machine running an MS SQL Server 2000.
But the installation process won't proceed, it only reaches the "Setup is searching for installed components..." (w/ the green background), after that it just terminates the installation and nothing happens..

Hope someone could help me on this.. Thank You

AppDB info is kind of old, but not encouraging: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=3610

I do not think that is msde. Since I have used that in my windows
database projects years ago. I believe this is just a tool that
allows you to query the database. And in this case if it did not work
I would use a different database application. When I used msde
(basically 200 server with no client and a 2GB maximum database size)
, I used ADO Query tool found here http://gpoulose.home.att.net/

When running it from the shell ( as a reuglar user / not root or su
..) do you get any error messages?

People had much better success using FreeTDS.
