Important Installation Instructions: The evaluation version of
Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 downloads as a self-extracting archive.
You need to put the archive executable in a temporary directory.
From the temporary directory run the executable with the -d option
on the command line in order to maintain the directory structure of
the evaluation version of Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 installation.
This example assumes your are going to extract the Microsoft SQL Server
evaluation files on your 'C' drive and you downloaded the evaluation
version
of Microsoft SQL Server for x86 (Intel). If you downloaded another
platform
version make sure to substitute sqlx86.exe with the file name of
the self unarchiving file you downloaded.
For example sqlaxp.exe for the Digital Alpha version.
From the command prompt:
copy {download location}\sqlx86.exe c: c:\sqlx86.exe -d
c:\sql65\i386\setup.exe (to start the Microsoft SQL Server evaluation
version installation)
If after expanding the archive the setup does not work correctly,
make sure you expanded the archive with the -d option on the command
line.
