I meet a problem during installing SQL Server 2000 enterprise version in Windows 2000 Server.

During installation, system remind me to shut down IIS, nspm.exe and svchost.exe in case that I do not need to reboot after installation. I ignore the reminding. But a message of failed configuration of the server appeared at the end of installation.
I tried several times, but got same results.

I tried to shut down that three programs using Task Manager. However, IIS and svchost.exe could not be stopped. And I can't find out if SQL Server is running through both Task Manager and Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. I don't know what the problems are.

Could anyone give me some suggestions on how to shut down those running programs so that I can try to reinstall SQL Server? Or may be it is due to other problems that you guess? I appreciate any comments and suggestions.

Lee"

Well, my first suggestion is DON'T IGNORE MESSAGES THAT COME UP DURING INSTALLATION.

Have you fully un-installed SQL Server? Use the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel, and if SQL Server appears there, remove it. Also, go into the Services applet and set IIS and the other programs to manual startup. Then reboot the computer.

Once that's done, use the Services applet to verify that those programs are not running, if they are, stop them. THEN perform the SQL Server installation. Once you've got it working, then go back into Services and reset the startup options to auto or whatever they were before.
