MSDE 2000, 2005 Express or SQL Server 2000 ?

MSDE 2000, 2005 Express or SQL Server 2000 ?

We have had many problems getting SD+ (6006 -> 6008) to work reliably: Scheduled Tasks stop running, 6008 Restore corrupts database, etc.

SD+ was installed on French Windows XP PRO SP2 with database on French Windows 2003 Server SP2 with French SQL Server 2000.

Support tells us to reinstall everything in an English environment:
From the logs it looks like MSSQL and/or OS are in Native language setup. This makes the Server to hang (or) stop service frequently. The native settings in MSSQL/Os is not currently not supported, we are analyzing this issue and we will keep you posted about the same. Please install MSSQL and OS in English language with Locale set to English, So that we can run the product without any issue.


Since the SD+ prerequisites are not clear about specific SQL versions and language... we would like to know which English version is recommended before continuing :

MSDE 2000
SQL Server 2005 Express (Has this been tested?)
SQL Server 2000
(Do not have MySQL)

And must it be on the same machine as SD+ ?

Thanks in advance.
