Error installing HPSIM on Win XP Pro SP2

[Phillip Thayer]

am installing the HPSIM trial package on Windows XP Pro SP2 nd when it gets to the point where is needs to authenticate with the SQL database (MSDE DB) I get the following error:

03-24-2006][15:35:40][HP Systems Insight Manager]Error:An unknown database error has occurred. 1

This doesn't really help me with what the probelm is. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
Phil

Maybe a dumb question, but have you installed the MSDE beforehand?

[Phillip Thayer]

The MSDE was installed as the first step in the HPSIM installation.
