| Hi,
OS - Windows XP Professional + SP2
SQL Server - MS SQL Server 2000 (Personal Edition) - 8.00.760 (SP3a)
After the installation, when I tried to access BOL, I got the following
message -
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~
---------------------------
Help
---------------------------
Cannot open the file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Tools\Book
s\SQL80.col.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~
It was bizarre. The SQL server installation went well. But SQL BOL was not
installed !!!
Subsequently I went to SQL Server BOL website
(http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techin.../2000/books.asp) and
downloaded the same in my pc. When I tried to install, I got an error
message with error code 1721.
Following a check in Event Viewer, I found the foll. message -
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~
Event Type: Error
Event Source: MsiInstaller
Event Category: None
Event ID: 11721
Date: 31/03/2005
Time: 15:26:10
User: HMohanbabu

Description:
Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Books Online (Updated - 2004) -- Error
1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program
required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support
personnel or package vendor. Action: DELETE_SUBSETFILE, location:
C:\WINDOWS\Installer
\MSI5B.tmp, command: 1033

Obviously from the message, the error seems to be something to do with the
Windows Installer Package.
How can I resolve this problem? I just want SQL BOL for reference!!
Thanks in advance,
