[legi]

HI!<br>I have msSQL server 7.0 called &quot;Developer Edition&quot; and I installing it on computer with Win98(without network adapter,only modem). But cannot create database or other thing.What i doing wrong?

I am told that MS SQL Server 7.0 will not work under Win98. Look under Technet April 2000 and query for &quot;SQL datatypes&quot;.

SQL Server 7.0 will run quite happily on Win98 but you need to install the Sql Server 'Desktop edition' and not the full 'server edition'.<br>In order to connect to the database you might find that you will require some networking elements installed on the machine as SQL server communicates via the network layers.<br><br>hope this helps,<br><br>CD

cdukes is right. the desktop edition runs fine on win98 and requires no other networking elements.&nbsp;&nbsp;The catch...the desktop edition is only available on the full SQL server 7.0 installation disk
