When install SQL Server 2000 (Evaluation copy) on Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium desktop computer,

system gives the following error and Installation not successful:

InstallShield Engine has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

+1  A: 

Sql server 2000 is not supported on Windows 7. You might be able to get it installed but you would have problems.

According to this blog posting you even need SP3 of Sql Server 2005 for it to work on Win7.
