I have several instances of SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition running on 2000
Pro and XP Pro.
Are there any issues with installing Full-Text Search on these machines?

Thanks

Binder,
If you review SQL 2000 BOL title "Features Supported by the Editions of SQL
Server 2000", it states that for the Personal Edition that Full-Text Search
is "Supported (except on Windows 98)". However, and while I've not tested
this with the Personal Edition (as I have with the Developer Edition), to
install FTS you must select "custom installation" from your SQL CD and under
the Server components, select the "Full-text Search" components and it
*should* install SQL FTS. No, to the best of my knowledge, there should not
be any installation issue with installing Full-Text Search on those
machines. However, I'd recommend that you be logged on as either Admin or as
a member of the Admin Group when you do the custom installation.

Regards,
John
