Error Installing JDBC SP3 on Windows 2003

Hello all,
I'm running into an error when I try to install JDBC SP3 on my Windows 2003
server. I'm currently running JDBC SP2, but when the installer begins to
install the files, I'm prompted with a message box asking for the location to
"Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC SP2.msi". I don't have this file,
nor can I find it on my system. All I have is the Setup.exe file that you
download off of the Microsoft site. Has anyone seen this error before and
know how to get around it? Also, it should be noted that if I try to remove
JDBC SP2 from Add / Remove Programs, I'm prompted with the same message box.
Thanks,
Jason
Hmm... weird error. The .msi file is compressed within the JDBC driver
setup.exe package. It usually resides in C:\Documents and
Settings\userX\Local Settings\Temp\_isSomethingOrOther
However, the files and folder are deleted once installation is complete or
aborted.You could try running setup.exe then finding and copying the folder
to another location and use that later.
hth.

|||Joe,
That did the trick. I installed the SP2 driver on my PC and before I clicked
Finish at the end of the install, I copied the temporary folder off to the
server. I then ran the SP3 setup and pointed to the SP2 MSI when prompted,
and the installer continued on. Thanks for your help!!
