Mike writes "I am trying to install a fresh copy of MS SQL Server 2000 Developer's edition on my computer and I keep getting an error message stating "Error: A previous installation has been detected that is still in progress. Please re-start your computer to continue.". My issue is this...there is no installation that is still in progress and I have repeatedly rebooted my machine to try to clear anything left in memory. I also tried deleting any possible unnecessary files from the temp directory and I am still getting this error. One possible note, I am on a wireless network and I also have a desktop on this network that has an installation of SQL Server on it.

Do you have any ideas or suggestions as to what I can do?"
