Neil writes "Hi , Ive just reinstalled win200 machine and out sql2000 on. I have then gone to bring it up to the latest service pack. I have tried SP1 & SP2 and keep getting to the screen where it says

"Setup is installing Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC).."

but then it will come back with error after a couple of mins saying

"Installation of the Microsoft Data Access Components Package Failed. (-1).

Ive tried different sources for the service packs as I thought they may be corrupt, but ive also updated mdac aswell and nothing seems to get me past this point.

Hope you can help

Neil"

Try to download MDAC 2.6 and install that seperately. Then if that succeeds, rety the SP.

Also, check your event log and see if there were any "File replacement" messages.
