  • Hi Duff. Don't know if you're aware, but the download mirrors for SQL Server 6.5 aren't working. I can download from elsewhere on the site, just not from here.

  • Everything works. As long as you are using Firefox, at least.

    Everything works fine for me. Since you didn't tell us what OS and browser you are running, I'm going to assume you are running Windows 95 and Seamonkey 1.1 just like me, because why wouldn't everyone else?

    Edit: Just for you, I blew the dust of that awful Windows 10 test box... holy crap, another bug in Google Chrome. It is so fragile, it can't deal with commas in file names. I thought they fixed that bug years ago. I don't know why that crummy web browser is so popular. Just use Firefox FFS, although I wish there were still other choices.
  • 6.5 version with no SP seems to have issues. Tested on NT4 SP6, it starts to install, gets as far as "Setting up the initial configuration" then freezes and never recovers. I left it running for 4 hours and it was still frozen. As a test I tried installing v6.0 and 6.5 SP3, both took about 2 minutes to do the same thing.
