WSS v3.0 beta install error

hi,
(sorry engelbert, couldn't find the setup_and_administration group through
msdn search :)

I am trying to install WSSv3.0, 64-bit on Server 2003, SP1, 64-bit. I
pre-installed .net framework and workflowfoundation beta as well. Also
configured IIS for ASP.NET 2.0 64-bit.

Setup seemed to go ok, but I get the following error during configuration.

any idea how to track this town ?

Just for the record:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.sharepoint.setup_and_administration&lang=en&cr=US

(one line)

but there's no problem with the post being here.

Thanks for adding the extra information.

.net framework would be 2.0 no doubt.

workflow foundation beta - does the 64-bit install like the 32-bit install
need ver 2.2 and not 2 ?

Yes,the .net framework was 64-bit, 2.0. As far as workflow foundation, I
went by the "system requirements" page for WSS v3, which said 2.2

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5C080096-F3A0-4CE4-8830-1489D0215877&displaylang=en

says that 2.2 is required for WSS v3.0.

It seems to have been the fact that I did not have SQL Server on the host
that tripped WSS up. Once I installed SQL, I was able to configure my site.

which begs the question what would happen if I wanted by DB off box ?
