Hi I am trying to install SQL 2000 server on Windows 2003
web edition server. When I run the setup program, I get
the menu all right. But when I click "Install Database
Server" option from the setup menu, the setup program just
don't go anywhere. There are no activities in the task
manager of windows nor there is any activity in the hard
disk drive.

Can you think of anything that may be stopping me
installing SQL 2000 on a Windows 2003 machine?

You can't install the regular editions of sql server ont he web edition of
2003. It's for web servers.
