Check you’ve installed .NET framework which is a pre-requisite and check this linkhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/rpearl/installingandupgradingtosqlserver2005.asp for more information. (Please post the thread in relevant forums) Satya SKJ

HI Satya, Thanx for the information. According to your suggestions I just checked my machine and found that .NET framework is installed on my system.
Actually I am trying to find the required setup file for SQL SERVER database. And I am sorry to say that I am unable to find it.
I downloaded the .exe file from Microsoft website and extract it into local disk under the folder SQLDEV. But I am afraid where is the required setup file located…
If You have any idea please and please let me know.
Thanking you very much

Search for the referred file using Windows operating Search facility.
I believe if you cannot find the file then it is not a SQL related problem, rather location problem with your machine. If not try to download it again to a fresh directory, use SAVE AS option when downloading the exe. Satya SKJ
