Cannot Install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - Minimum Requirements

---

I do get the warning about Minimum Hardware Requirement, but can

find nothing in the detail requirements to exclude my PCs configuration.

I have installed:

IE 6.0 sp1

IIS as a part of Win 2000 Professional Edition SP4

I have also used ..\aspnet_regiis -r to register ASP.NET 2.0

.NET Framework 2.0

SQL Server Native Client

SQL Server Setup support files

PC includes:

Pentium III 800 MHz

512 MB memory

HardDrive C: 5.92 GB (1.37 GB free)

HardDrive D: 13.1 GB (9.11 GB free)

I have tried several times to install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition

(most recently from MSDN Disk 3097.1) I have tried to

complete an uninstall before each attempt.

I am, successfully, running Visual Studio 2005.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I've found that I can only install SQL 2005 from local media on Windows 2000 - you're not attempting to install from a network drive, are you?|||No. I am using MSDN Disk 3097.1 and the PCs DVD reader/recorder.|||

I am having the same issue and can't find out why it fails on the minimum hardware requirements.

I was looking at firewall issues, AMD Turion Mobile 64 clock speed issues, but can't seem to get past this issue.

I've tried express and developer with no sucess. I'd love to see an answer from microsoft on this one.

I hope someone can figure out why this warning is displayed and the installation is interrupted.
