Windows 2000 is installed in one of our machine. I want to install Sql2000 Client software on it.

The problem is that it starts installing the Data Access Components,
but hangs up and stops the installation process. And gives the following error.

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

Pl help.

Do you have anything else running on the machine that would be using the MDAC? If so, shut it off and try again.
