Errors installing project 2003 on SQL 2005

Doug Andrade

I am having problems getting Project 2003 installed using SQL 2005. I know
this can be done but when I run the installation for project, I get and
error. After I enter the Database Account Information and select next to
continue the installation I get the error "The server you entered is not
responding. Check that the name is valid and try again." When I click on OK
it just takes me bac to the account information page. I followed the KB
article 917401 to the letter to manually create a SQL 2000 compatable
database, but still get this error. Any help on this would be great. I have
looked everywhere for an answer and cannot find one.
By the way, I know that the database server is running fine. I have other
databases running on this server and they work just fine.

Thanks,
Doug

Doug:

Download the EditSite tool from Microsoft (AKA Site Editor). First use the
tool to test your site, then use it to help correct the errors. Give us a
shout back if this doesn't help. I suspect you've run across an installation
bug that doesn't care which version of SQL you're using.
