install of express 200 advanced sp1 fails

Had intial release installed; deleted it and associated software, and downloaded advanced, sp1 and mgmt. studio sp1.

Go to install and get just warnings(2-IIS and hardware);install goes on

then fails; look at log and it says my system doesn't meet minimum

hardware requirements.

Look at hardware requirements on readme and at MS and my system DOES

meet 'minumum reuquirements'; he only thing close is the 512 mb minimum

memory which is what my system has, 512mb memory.

1.7 P4, 30 gig of hard drive space,.net2.0,win2k with SP4,etc..

Anyone know what a workaround is or is this a 'bug'?

Take a looks at the setup logs (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG) for starters. See if there is additional information available there.

inserting\update line numbering

I have a table which contains order information, which I would like to have line number associated with them
what SQL statement do I use in order to add the line numbering for each line, and have it dependent on reseting on the sales order number?If this is a one-time operation, usually a temp table is created with an identity. In other cases you may need to add an identity column to the table.|||If this is a one-time operation, usually a temp table is created with an identity. In other cases you may need to add an identity column to the table.

This is a daily build operation

Using Identity though creates the numbering for all records in the table (sees it as one order (500 records, records numbered from 1 to 500?)

I am looking at the line numbering to reset back to 1 everytime there is a change in the order number field (inv_ref field)

this can't be done through identity?|||My guess is, that it would be possible using an identity column, but I wouldn't go for that if it needs to be reset on a daily basis.

It's probably me, but I'm still not quite clear on what you want, on the other hand, maybe I do but miss the point as to why you need a linenumber associated with the table contents.

One of these might work for you though:
- create a view that has a computed column (if the linenumber can be determined on other information from the table);
- create a trigger that does an update (guess this can be quite a burden);
- create an sp; do an update based on identity from a temp-table.|||line number id forms part of the primary key make up.

I have Invoice number, sales order number, and line id

I can't include product id instead of line id as in an invoice there may be a reference to the same product id i.e. at line 1 and 10.

I guess a messy way of going about it is to just use identity and leave the count go on the entire table just to satisfy the primary key requirements.
