Can I install SQL Server 2000 on Windows 7 - SQL Server Q&A from the SQL Server Central community

Hi, Although you can install SQL Server 2000 on Windows 7 with some workarounds, it will not work properly. You can see several errors in both the database server and in Enterprise Manager MMC. Only SQL Server 2005 SP3 or greater and SQL Server 2008 SP1 .
