I've been trying to install SQL Server 2000 Pro on Windows 2000 Server without much luck.

I'm doing a very normal install, local server, typical setting, and windows auth. The installation gets most of the way through and then hangs as it tries to start the sql server service. I'm attaching the error log it generates.

I've tried turning off as many services as possible before attempting the install, but it always hangs in the same place. I've searched the ms knowledge base with the error in the log "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" only to find too many references and none that seem to relate.

If anyone could help it would be very appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Tom
