I have never ever had the following error message before during the
installation of SQL Server Developer Edition 2000 on a client running
Windows XP Pro SP2 using an account with administrator privileges:
"An error occurred while creating one or more registry entries. Please see
C:\Windows\sqlstp.log for details. The problem could be caused by a low
registry quota condition."
Looking on the internet I have only found several people who had the same
problem but nobody gave a solution. What I have done to find the cause for
this problem was to run the Registry Monitor tool which can be found on
sysinternals.com to monitor what was causing this "Registry error".
I saw that I got several access denies to the following registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.col
In RegEdit I noticed that the permissions for this key were set to
read-only. I have changed this for the Administrator to full-control and the
installation of SQL Server worked fine.
I am still wandering why the user account with adminstrator privileges did
not have full control over the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.col key? Has anybody
encountered the same behaviour? Any ideas?

Saved me a lot of time. Thanks
I have also installed the dev. edition on several system. I think the
difference for me is that it is the first time on a system with XP sp2
pre-installed.
