  • Why is this tagged InstallShield-2010? Eitherway it's a crazy thing to even want to do. Even if you could get it installed you would be vunerable to network attacks with no support from Microsoft. – Christopher Painter Jul 01 '10 at 20:40

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.
