Hi,
Our company is developing programs, which make of use MS
SQL Server databases (SQL Server 7.0 SP3). The setup of
these programs have to install MSDE 1.0 and SQL Server 7.0
SP3, as neccessary.
WE HAVE DETECTED AND SOLVED THE FOLLOWING INSTALLATION PROBLEM:
Under Windows 9x the MSDE 1.0 and SQL Server 7.0
installation seems to be successful, but we can't connect
to the server. We found that the computer's name
consisted ONLY of numbers. After renaming the computer
the installation succeded. The correct computer name can
include letters (A-Z, a-z), digits (0-9), and hyphens (-),
however it cannot be solely of numbers.
Regards,
Szilard Peto
