ECC 5.0 IDES on SQL in Windows under VMWARE

Hi Experts,

I need your help in installing IDES ECC5.0 on SQL 2000 in Windows 2003 Standard under VMWARE. After installing the SQL 2000 with SP 4, Latin Character set & colltion. I colud successfully install Central Instance, the problem I face while installing Database Instance, during the "Database Load" the installation keeps failing , I could not proceed further.

When I start the Database Instance installation again, I could not use the same SID, its throwing an error & Uninstallting SQL Server 2000 and reinstalling it solves the issue, do we have any workaround!!

Thanks in Advance.

Ahamed
