SQL Trial Version Problem

[|dre|]

Hi, I downloaded MS SQL Server 2000 (trial version) from Microsoft site, and when I try to install it it gives me a "not enough memory in drive C:\ " error. It says to free up ~460 MB and retry installing it. I have 27 GB of free space on C:\ drive. Does anyone know what's wrong?

A little off topic but if you need a database server there are very good alteratives to microsoft. MySQL is a good open source database that runs on the windows platform. http://www.mysql.com/
